Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child has a lot of body fat and also has a very high appetite. She doesn't like to play outside often. Please ask: How can I treat child obesity and a lack of physical activity?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start by focusing on their child's exercise and diet. Encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming or jogging, and increase their intake of vitamin C-rich fruits like apples and kiwis. Foods high in calories, such as biscuits, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should be avoided. Additionally, it is essential to break the habit of disliking exercise, as it can lead to fat accumulation. If the child's condition is severe during treatment for obesity, it is important to take them to a reputable hospital for proper medical care.
