Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, who has started elementary school. Recently, I noticed that my child has a lot of meat on their body and has a very big appetite. They also like to lie down after eating. I would like to ask: How can I treat child obesity when the child dislikes exercise?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love exercise and avoid being picky eaters. Arrange activities like swimming and jogging for the child within their tolerance. During this period, let them eat more cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, and other foods. Avoid high-calorie foods like sunflower seeds and burgers, and don't let them overeat frequently. Encourage them to exercise more. If, during the treatment of obesity, the above methods do not alleviate your child's symptoms, it is important to go to the hospital to investigate the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
