Patient's question:
Little girl, just 3 years old. In this year, I noticed that her body is getting fatter and her appetite is very large. Usually, she doesn't like to play outside. Please ask: How should I effectively treat obesity in children who dislike vegetables?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body becomes obese, parents should develop an exercise plan and a healthy diet for them. The child should engage in activities suitable for their age group, such as swimming and jogging. Additionally, they should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods, like spinach and carrots, while avoiding high-calorie foods such as cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Parents should also prevent children from lying on the sofa and eating snacks immediately after meals. If a child's condition worsens during the treatment for childhood obesity, it is important for parents to take them to the hospital and seek medical guidance for proper treatment.
