Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. This year, it has been observed that the child is becoming increasingly chubby. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of food in one meal and is particularly lazy. Please ask: How can child obesity and a lack of vegetable intake be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents need to control the child's diet and increase their physical activity. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises within the child's tolerance range. Eat more high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes. Avoid giving children high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. It's essential to change the child's habit of disliking exercise, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. During treatment, parents should monitor the child's condition at all times. If the situation is severe, treatment should be guided by a doctor and should not be ( in Chinese means blindfolded or unguided).
