Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, already in elementary school, this year, noticed that, my child has a lot of meat on his body, and, eats more food than average children, usually doesn't like to go out to play, please ask: how to treat children with obesity who dislike exercise effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control their child's diet and increase their exercise. They can start by teaching the child to swim. The resistance of water during swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat burning. During this period, the child should be given vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and pea yellow. High-calorie and high-fat foods should be avoided, such as cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Additionally, children should not lie down inactive immediately after meals. If, during the treatment of pediatric obesity, parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly take them to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
