How can a child with obesity who dislikes exercise be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

My little girl, she's one year old. In this year, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter and can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. She likes to lie down after eating. I'm asking: how can I treat a child who is obese and doesn't like to exercise?

Doctor's answer:

If you find that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. You can start by teaching your child to swim. The resistance of water during swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercise, leading to faster fat consumption. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc. And be sure not to let the child consume high-calorie foods such as cakes, potato chips, or cola. Also, don't let the child lie down motionless immediately after eating.
During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a legitimate hospital for targeted treatment and avoid treatment.
