Patient's question:
My little boy is 2 years old. Recently, I've noticed that he's getting fatter and eating more food than usual. He's also very lazy. I would like to ask: How can I treat children's obesity who love meat?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should improve the situation through exercise and dietary changes. Activities such as swimming and hill climbing have a very positive effect on obesity symptoms. Additionally, children should consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. Foods high in calories like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes should be avoided. It is also important not to let the child go to sleep immediately after eating or lie on the sofa while snacking. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital to check the cause of obesity for targeted treatment.
