Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old this year. I feel that my child has a lot of meat on his body, and he also seems to eat without restraint. Even when I ask him to exercise, he doesn't want to. Could you please advise on how to treat childhood obesity with a meat-eating tendency?Doctor's answer:
To help your child alleviate symptoms of obesity, it's important to arrange appropriate exercise and diet for them. Parents can encourage their child to engage in activities beneficial for weight management, such as jogging or swimming. During this period, they should eat vegetables that are good for improving obesity, like winter melon or green pea puree. The child should avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes or macadamia nuts. Strictly control their diet and prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing childhood obesity. If the child's condition worsens during treatment for obesity, parents should promptly take them to the hospital and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
