Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 5 years old. This year, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating more than average children. She is also very lazy. I would like to ask: How can childhood obesity and laziness be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by initially setting exercise routines and adjusting dietary habits. You can start by gradually increasing the intensity of exercise for the child, such as jogging. For example, if they usually run half a lap, they can add a small amount of extra distance each time. In terms of diet, encourage the child to eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and similar foods. It's important to prohibit them from consuming high-calorie, high-fat foods like cakes, nuts, and cookies. Additionally, avoid letting the child sleep or lounging on the sofa immediately after eating snacks. If the child's obesity condition worsens during the treatment period, it's crucial to take them to a regular hospital for proper medical care.
