Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 2 years old this year, has recently noticed over the past few weeks that she seems to be getting fatter, and she also seems to be eating with particular lack of restraint and dislikes exercise. Please ask: How to treat childhood obesity, especially with a preference for meat.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start by addressing his exercise and diet. They can first teach the child to swim. The resistance of water during swimming is far greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercise, leading to faster fat consumption. Parents should give the child more foods like apples, kiwis, carrots, etc. and avoid letting the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, French fries, or cookies. Additionally, parents should not allow the child to sleep immediately after eating or lounging on the sofa while snacking. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's condition is severe, parents should promptly take them to the hospital and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
