Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. Recently, I noticed that he seems to be getting fatter and eating more uncontrollably. He also doesn't want to exercise. I'd like to ask: How should children who are overweight and love meat be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control their child's diet and increase their physical activity. Aerobic exercises such as swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. Additionally, vegetables like carrots and spinach are helpful in addressing obesity. High-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies should not be given to children. In daily life, it is important not to allow children to snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
