Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old, this year. I have observed that he is getting fatter and fatter, and his appetite is very large, but he doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How can child obesity with a preference for meat be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their physical activity and control their diet to improve the condition. They can start by teaching the child to swim, as the resistance of water is much greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat burning. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and similar foods, while avoiding high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. It is important to prohibit the child from eating snacks in bed or lying down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment period, parents should closely monitor the child's condition and seek medical guidance for severe cases. Avoid (blind treatment).
