Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 8 years old. In this year, I've noticed that my child has a lot of meat on her body, and she also seems to eat without restraint. When I ask her to exercise, she's reluctant. I wonder: how should obesity in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If the child suffers from obesity, parents should start by monitoring his exercise and diet. Parents need to supervise the child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. They should give the child more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. The child should not eat high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts. In daily life, parents should address the child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits. During obesity treatment, parents should tailor the treatment to the child's specific situation. If the condition is severe, it is essential to visit a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
