Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. In recent weeks, I've noticed that he's getting fatter and fatter. Additionally, he seems to be eating without restraint and is also very lazy. Please ask: How can the obesity of a child who loves meat be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body shows signs of obesity, parents should create a set of exercise plans and healthy diets for their child. They can start by gradually increasing the intensity of the exercise, such as jogging, where the child can add more distance—like running half a circle more with each lap. Additionally, the child should eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Fatty and fried foods, as well as dried fruits, should be strictly avoided, as they are high in empty calories and fat. Moreover, parents should not allow the child to lie down motionless immediately after eating. During the treatment period, parents should closely monitor the child's condition and seek medical guidance if the situation worsens. Blind treatment should be avoided.
