Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 6 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter and can eat several bowls of rice at a meal. She doesn't like to play outside during the day. I'm asking: How can childhood obesity be treated when the child loves meat?Doctor's answer:
To help your child change the symptoms of obesity, you need to arrange reasonable exercise and diet for them. Parents can encourage their children to engage in sports that are beneficial for combating obesity, such as jogging or swimming. During this period, it’s advisable to let them eat vegetables that are good for improving obesity, such as winter melon or sweet pea pudding. Foods high in calories, like cookies, macadamia nuts, or small cakes, should not be given to children. Also, avoid letting them overeat frequently and encourage them to exercise more. If, during the treatment of obesity, the above methods do not alleviate your child’s symptoms, it is important to promptly take them to the hospital to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
