Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old this year, recently, I have noticed that she is getting fatter and her appetite is very big. When I ask her to exercise, she is unwilling. Please ask: How can children with obesity who don't like vegetables be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting appropriate exercise levels and modifying the diet for the child. Swimming exercises such as swimming laps and hill climbing are very effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. In terms of diet, the child should consume more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and similar foods. It is crucial not to let the child indulge in high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, or cola. Additionally, avoid allowing the child to lie down motionless after meals. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the aforementioned methods do not relieve the child's symptoms, it is essential to promptly seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
