Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and not be picky about food. Encourage them to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. During this period, let them eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid giving them fried chicken, cakes, or other high-fat foods. Additionally, it's crucial to change the child's habit of disliking exercise, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. It is advised that if parents notice severe symptoms during treatment, they should take the child to the hospital to determine the condition and receive targeted treatment.
