Good morning. I would like to know how I can help my 11-year-old son who has a problem with obesity. All the advice of pediatricians I have sought help from so far has focused only on tips such as eating less, changing the way you eat … but in fact it's not that simple. The son enters puberty and this obesity bothers him a lot, but at the same time he blocks up and, for example, does little sports, because this obesity is already a barrier for him. And the circle is complete. Could a visit to a dietitian help us? Can I use any diets for my son? Monika, Kamienna Góra
Of course! In children, only diet is possible and exercise is absolutely necessary! The child should be explained that blocking will worsen his situation, that it is only thanks to practicing sports that you can have a nice figure. Together with the child, you need to find a form of activity that will accept it. I advise you to pay attention to fruit juices and sweet drinks and the so-called snacks that children consume in excess.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
