Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. Recently, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. He is also very lazy. Please advise: How to treat childhood obesity with a meat-eating diet.Doctor's answer:
Once a child develops obesity, parents should first address the situation through exercise and diet. Arrange activities like swimming and jogging within the child's capacity, and encourage them to eat more vitamin C-rich fruits, such as apples and kiwis. Make sure the child avoids high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and sodas. If the child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this habit. During treatment, parents should closely monitor the child's condition and seek medical guidance for severe cases, avoiding treatment.
