How to diagnose and treat child obesity and lack of exercise

Patient's question:

Boys, just 1 year old, recently, observed, my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and, seems to eat very unconstrainedly, usually doesn't like to go out to play, please ask: what should be done to diagnose and treat child obesity and lack of exercise.

Doctor's answer:

Once a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change the situation through exercise and diet. They can start by teaching the child to swim. The resistance of water during swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat burning. Parents should give the child more foods such as apples, kiwis, and carrots. Avoid letting the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Additionally, the child's habit of disliking exercise must be corrected, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. It is recommended that during the treatment period, if parents notice a severe condition in the child, they should take the child to the hospital to identify the problem and receive targeted treatment.
