Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. In recent weeks, I’ve noticed that my child’s weight is much heavier than other children, and she also eats more food than the average child. She doesn’t like to go out to play often. I’m asking: How can obesity in children who love meat be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting appropriate exercise levels and dietary changes for the child. Parents should supervise the child in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, encourage the child to consume more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, while avoiding high-fat foods such as fried chicken and cakes. If the child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this unhealthy behavior. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if parents notice a severe condition in the child, it is essential to promptly take them to the hospital to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
