Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. This year, I noticed that my child is getting fatter, and he is also eating more recently and doesn't like to exercise. I ask: how should children with obesity who eat meat be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control the child's diet and increase their physical activity. Aerobic exercises like swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. During this period, let the child eat more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from consuming high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. In daily life, it is important not to let the child eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. When treating obesity in children, if the above methods do not alleviate the child's symptoms, parents should promptly take them to the hospital to investigate the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
