How should children with obesity and a lack of physical activity be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Female baby, just 4 years old. In recent weeks, I've noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter and can eat several bowls of food in one meal. She likes to lie down after eating. Please ask: How should I treat a child who is obese and?

Doctor's answer:

Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love exercise and not being picky about food. You can start by letting them do aerobic exercises, such as jogging, climbing hills, swimming, etc. During this time, let the child eat some vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon, pea yellow, etc. It is forbidden for the child to eat high-calorie, high-fat foods like cakes, nuts, and cookies. Strictly control the child's diet and do not let them overeat. Exercising more is beneficial for changing a child's obesity. During the treatment, parents should pay close attention to the child's condition. If the situation is severe, treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor and not through blind treatment.
