Patient's question:
My baby is 5 years old and seems a bit overweight. I would like to know what dietary precautions should be taken for pediatric obesity? Can they eat French fries?Doctor's answer:
The main reason for obesity in most children is an unreasonable diet and lack of exercise. Therefore, in addition to daily exercise, the diet must be low in fat, low in sugar, light in oil, and reduce the intake of staple foods. It is essential to strictly control the amount of staple food per meal, with vegetables accounting for 70% of each meal. Aim for 70% fullness per meal, consume fruits in moderation, and avoid fried and greasy foods. Pay attention not to sit for long periods and avoid long sleep times. Exercise is best performed within two hours after each meal. With persistence, the results will be good. Good results.
