Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child has become fatter and eats more food without restraint. He doesn't like to play outside often. I would like to ask: How can obesity in children who love meat be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and eat a balanced diet. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other activities within their capacity for exercise. Vegetables like carrots and spinach are also helpful in combating obesity. Prohibit children from eating high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. In daily life, avoid habits like eating snacks in bed or lying down immediately after eating, as these can also lead to fat accumulation. During treatment for obesity, if the above methods do not alleviate your child's symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
