Patient's question:
Girl, currently 7 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter and seems to eat without restraint. She likes to lie down after meals. Please ask: How can obesity in children caused by a meat-eating habit be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Once a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first address the situation through exercise and diet. Aerobic activities such as swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. In terms of diet, the child should consume more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and similar foods. High-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies should be avoided. Additionally, if the child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help the child correct this unhealthy behavior. Parents are advised that during the treatment period, if the child's condition worsens, they should take the child to the hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
