Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old this year. This year, I found that my child's weight is much higher than other children, and it seems that she also eats without restraint. She likes to lie down after eating. Please ask: How can children with obesity who like meat be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can first involve setting a fitness routine and altering diet for the child. For childhood obesity, engaging in more aerobic exercises such as hill climbing and swimming is beneficial. Encourage the child to eat more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. Avoid letting the child consume high-calorie, high-fat foods such as hamburgers, french fries, and cookies. Help the child to break the habit of not being active after eating or binge eating. During obesity treatment, 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.
