Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's. At the same time, her appetite is very big, and she is also very lazy. Please ask: How should the treatment be for child obesity who doesn't like vegetables?Doctor's answer:
To address childhood obesity, it's important to start by encouraging physical activity and reducing picky eating habits. Activities like swimming and hill climbing are highly effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. During this period, it's beneficial to include vegetables that aid in weight management, such as winter melon and yellow peas. Avoid giving children high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies. Help children break their habits of being inactive after meals or overeating. If a child's obesity symptoms are severe during treatment, it's crucial to seek medical attention promptly and avoid blindly relying on certain medications.
