Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. This year, I noticed that he has a lot of meat on his body, and recently he's been eating more and more. He likes to lie down after meals. I'm asking: how can I treat a child who is obese and ( means does not like to exercise)?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body shows obesity, parents should create a set of exercise plans and a healthy diet for them. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises such as climbing and swimming can be beneficial. Also, it's important to encourage children to eat more high-fiber foods, like spinach and carrots. Make sure not to let them consume high-calorie foods such as cakes, chips, and cola. Moreover, it's crucial to break the habit of children disliking exercise, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of obesity in children, if the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms, parents should promptly take them to the hospital to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
