Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. In this year, I noticed that he is getting fatter and fatter, and his appetite is very large. He doesn't like to play outside. Please ask: How can children with obesity who love meat be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start by focusing on his exercise and diet. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are beneficial. In terms of diet, the child should consume more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and similar foods, while avoiding high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Strictly control the child's diet to prevent overeating, and encourage more exercise, as it is beneficial for reducing obesity. During the treatment of obesity, parents should tailor the treatment to the child's specific condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to go to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
