Patient's question:
The son has always been handed over to his grandparents for raising because my husband and I need to go out to do odd jobs. It might be because the grandparents are too indulgent of the son, giving him everything he wants to eat. Now the son is a bit overweight, and I'm afraid this will affect his health. What should the patient do now?Doctor's answer:
Most childhood obesity is due to overeating, consuming excessive amounts of food or many junk foods, high-calorie foods, and this situation happens repeatedly. Excessive obesity can affect physical growth and development, so it is better to have many controls in terms of diet. It is essential to achieve comprehensive and balanced nutrition, with a good mix of meat and vegetables, but eat less and more often, avoid overeating, and consume more fruits and vegetables.
