Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child has a lot of meat on his body, and he also eats more food than most children. He likes to lie down after finishing his meal. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat childhood obesity with a preference for meat.Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their physical activity and control their diet to improve the symptoms. Aerobic exercises like swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child, and they should eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. The child should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Snacking in bed or lying down immediately after eating are bad habits that can also lead to fat accumulation. It is advised that during treatment, if parents notice the child's condition worsening, they must take the child to the hospital to diagnose the condition and receive targeted treatment.
