In recent years, with the continuous improvement of living standards, there are more and more obese children. It is generally believed that a child whose weight exceeds 20% of the standard weight is called mild obesity, over 30% is called moderate obesity and over 50% is called severe obesity. The formula for calculating the standard weight is: standard weight (kg) = height (cm)- 105 Obese children, because of the heavy burden on the heart and respiratory system, will have a faster heartbeat and difficulty breathing with a little activity, so they are too lazy to exercise and are prone to illness. Childhood obesity will not only continue to become adult obesity, but also have various complications, such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis and diabetes. At the same time, obese children are often laughed at and teased by other students because of their uneven figure and inflexible movements. They are prone to inferiority complex and depression, unwilling to participate in group activities, and their personalities become withdrawn, which seriously affects their mental health. Most obese children are caused by overeating, inactivity and genetic factors. Therefore, the treatment of obese children should focus on diet control, supplemented by physical exercise and psychotherapy, and finally consider drug treatment. Diet therapy: Obese children should adopt a diet principle of low calorie, low fat, low sugar and high protein. Because obese children have a good appetite and a large appetite, it is necessary to strictly control the daily calorie intake, and provide proper amount of vitamins, trace elements and protein under the condition of ensuring nutrition. It is generally believed that children aged 7~ 14 can supply 900~ 1200 calories a day. At the same time, we should slow down the speed of eating, so as to "chew slowly, enter slowly and leave slowly". If you can eat a small bowl of vegetables before eating, it is better to eat more fruits after eating. Vegetables and fruits provide less calories and more vitamins and minerals, which are beneficial to the growth and development of obese children. For obese children, food choice is also very important. For example, soybeans can not only lower cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis, but also reduce neutral fat, which is beneficial to weight loss. Garlic, green onions, wax gourd, fungus, bamboo shoots and other foods are all conducive to weight loss; Vinegar contains amino acids, which can not only consume body fat, but also promote the metabolism of sugar and protein and help to lose weight. Exercise therapy: Obese children should exercise more, work more, sleep less, watch less TV and rest less. If you want to get up early and go to bed late every day, you should run and exercise in the morning and take part in more housework. Sports that help to lose weight include swimming, cycling, gymnastics, long-distance running and so on. Exercise can not only make fat cells release a lot of free fatty acids, reduce the size of fat cells, but also consume excess sugar so that it will not be converted into fat. It must be pointed out that it is not feasible to lose weight by single exercise, because no child can exercise all day. If you insist on strenuous exercise for half an hour every day (such as skipping rope and running), it is meaningless to sit on the sofa and watch TV whenever you are free at other times. Psychotherapy: For children who especially like sweets, "aversion therapy" can be used. Parents should repeatedly tell obese children: "Eating sweets will thicken your fat, make you fat, make you inflexible and ugly, be teased by classmates and get sick easily." Let the children imagine that they are getting fatter and uglier when they want to eat sweets, and another classmate is making fun of you. How uncomfortable ... After repeated implementation, obese children will establish a conditioned reflex of "nausea at the sight of sweets". Drug treatment: For children who are particularly obese, drugs can be used, such as Chinese medicine Dayan slimming tea and western medicine amphetamines. But both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine should be used under the guidance of doctors to avoid side effects. Finally, obese children should go to the hospital regularly for comprehensive examination, so as to grasp the treatment effect in time and find complications as soon as possible.
