Patient's question:
My son is a boy, and he is 1 year old this year. This year, I feel that my child is getting fatter and eating more recently. I call him to exercise, but he doesn't want to. Please ask: How should childhood obesity and overweight be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For children with obvious symptoms of childhood obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more exercise and avoid being picky eaters. Aerobic exercises such as swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. Additionally, it's important to increase the intake of high-fiber foods, such as spinach and carrots, while reducing the consumption of high-calorie, high-fat foods like burgers, French fries, and cookies. Help the child break the habit of being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it's crucial to take the child to a formal hospital for targeted treatment and avoid.
