Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. This year, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and fatter, and seems to eat without restraint. He also doesn't like to exercise. I ask: How should children who are obese and eat a lot of meat be treated?Doctor's answer:
Once a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first address the situation through exercise and diet. You can arrange aerobic activities for the child, such as swimming or jogging. During this period, let the child eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and sweet pea paste. It is prohibited for the child to consume high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Moreover, do not let the child lie down inactive after eating. If the condition is severe during the treatment of pediatric obesity, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of the obesity and then provide targeted treatment.
