Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. In recent weeks, I have observed that my child has a lot of meat on his body, and his appetite is very large. He likes to lie down after finishing a meal. I would like to ask: How should children with obesity who eat a lot of meat be treated.Doctor's answer:
When a child's body shows signs of obesity, parents should create a set of exercise plans and healthy diets for them. Parents can encourage their children to engage in activities that help combat obesity, such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, foods like carrots and spinach are beneficial in addressing obesity. Avoid letting children eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, or cookies. Help children break the habit of being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment period for obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a reputable hospital for proper medical care.
