What to do if the child is too fat

Some parents are very worried that their children are overweight and obese. This makes them feel very scared and they are always worried that obesity will have a very bad impact on their bodies. In this case, in order to alleviate their obesity symptoms, they should control their diet and the daily calorie intake should not be too high.

1. Dietary control

1. Calculate total daily calories.

2. Nutrient distribution.

3. Eat three meals a day, distribute calories evenly among the three meals, and give up the habit of snacking.

2. Psychological care

Encourage patients to express their feelings. Nurses should give patients psychological support, listen to what they say, and conduct appropriate analysis and explanation to eliminate their inferiority complex and nervousness, so that they can correctly deal with current problems and actively cooperate with treatment. Encourage patients' families to participate in nursing care so that patients can receive more care and support and strengthen their confidence in treatment.

(III) Exercise therapy

Exercise plays a very important role in obesity treatment. Choose appropriate exercise according to the patient's health condition and gradually increase the amount of exercise to consume excess energy and lose weight. Exercise should be sustained at least 3 times a week to achieve significant weight loss results.

(IV) Skin care

Obese patients should take a bath and change their underwear every day. Talcum powder should be applied to skin wrinkles to keep the skin dry. Pay attention to skin problems such as dermatitis, ulcers caused by friction, purulent infections or fungal infections, and give corresponding treatment.

(V) Health Education

1. Guide obese patients to build confidence in losing weight, and remind them of the importance of long-term persistence in weight loss. The effect of weight loss does not depend on temporary weight loss success, but on long-term maintenance of a standard weight. Once you relax your dietary control and return to your old eating habits, you will gain weight quickly, making it more difficult to lose weight again. If you want to lose weight effectively, persistence is important.

2. Improve patients' awareness of the dangers of obesity so that they can consciously abide by and implement weight loss plans to achieve the goal of losing weight.

3. If the patient becomes extremely fatigued or even collapses after diet control, the cause should be identified immediately. Check whether there is enough protein in the diet, especially animal protein. If the protein content in the food is insufficient, it should be supplemented in time. A completely vegetarian approach to weight loss is not advisable.

5. If severely obese patients want to adopt starvation therapy or an unbalanced low-calorie diet therapy, they must do so under the guidance and supervision of a doctor to prevent the occurrence of complications. [1]
