How should children who are obese and dislike exercise be effectively treated?

Patient's question:

My son is 7 years old this year. This year, I noticed that my child is getting fatter. Also, he seems to eat without restraint and doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: What are the effective ways to treat childhood obesity and a lack of exercise?

Doctor's answer:

Childhood obesity can first involve setting exercise routines and dietary changes for your child. Parents should supervise activities like jogging or swimming, which are aerobic exercises. Foods such as carrots and spinach are also helpful in addressing obesity. Avoid letting your child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods like hamburgers, french fries, and cookies. Additionally, do not allow your child to sleep right after eating or snack while lounging on the sofa. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take your child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment rather than resorting to.
