Patient's question:
My uncle's grandson is only six years old, but he's already fat beyond recognition. His parents have been trying to control his diet, but unfortunately, the child gets hungry very quickly and eats large amounts at once. None of the family members are overweight, but they don't know why the child is like this. So, how can pediatric obesity be treated?Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to ensure that the child's actual weight falls into the category of obesity. Methods for weight control should not exceed two. Shut up, legs spread. Children should eat less starchy foods and greasy foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. They can eat less and exercise more. Drink more warm water, participate more in outdoor activities, exercise more, and get more sun. It is essential to maintain a regular sleep schedule and ensure 8 to 9 hours of sleep each day.
