Patient's question:
Little girl, just 1 year old, recently for the past few weeks, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating a very large amount. When I ask her to exercise, she doesn't want to. Please ask: How should I treat child obesity when they love meat?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first try to change their symptoms by increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet. Parents should supervise the child in doing aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc., and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach, carrots, etc. Frying foods and dried fruits should be prohibited, as these are high in empty calories and fat. It is also important not to let the child overeat frequently and to encourage more exercise. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should take the child to a formal hospital for targeted treatment, avoiding (blind treatment).
