Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, this year, feel, my child has a lot of meat on her body, and, eats more food than most children, likes to lie down after finishing a meal, please ask: How should childhood obesity be treated well.Doctor's answer:
If a child has obesity, parents should improve the situation through exercise and dietary changes. They can start by teaching the child to swim, as the resistance of water during swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat burning. Vegetables rich in dietary fiber, such as winter melon and tomatoes, should be eaten more frequently. Fatty foods like fried chicken and cakes should be avoided. It is also important not to let the child overeat frequently and encourage more physical activity. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of obesity before starting targeted treatment.
