Dealing with obesity in children who lack physical activity
Question: My daughter is just 6 years old, and recently, I’ve noticed that she weighs much more than other children her age. At the same time, her appetite is increasing, and she doesn’t like to exercise. How can we treat obesity in children who don’t like to eat vegetables for better results?
Weight loss is the most effective long-term treatment for obesity-related cardiomyopathy. Effective weight loss can significantly improve many cardiac structural abnormalities and hemodynamics, lower blood pressure to a lower level, and if maintained for 1-3 years, it seems that all obese patients will have lower systolic and diastolic blood pressures. With weight loss, blood volume, cardiac output, and body oxygen consumption during exercise decrease. However, heart rate, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, pulmonary wedge pressure, systemic vascular resistance, and pulmonary artery pressure do not decrease during rest and exercise after weight loss. Reports indicate that weight loss can reverse the symptoms of congestive heart failure in patients with obesity-related cardiomyopathy, as well as those with obesity and sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome.
