Patient's question:
My child is now 14 years old and is relatively overweight. I've noticed that he has been growing very fast in the past two years. I'm concerned that this phenomenon is not normal, so I wanted to ask you, what could be the reason for a child being obese and growing extremely fast in recent years?Doctor's answer:
If a child is gaining weight very quickly, it's important to pay attention. In terms of diet, it's necessary to control their intake and minimize excessive calorie consumption, especially meat. It's essential to eat less. If you find it truly difficult to resist, give them only a small amount at noon, and try to base their diet on light foods. Encourage more physical activity. Absolutely no laziness—take them out for running, jumping rope, table tennis, badminton, and other activities whenever you have time.
