How to diagnose and treat childhood obesity and laziness

Patient's question:

My little girl, she is one year old this year. In this year, I feel that the child seems to be getting fatter and fatter, and her appetite is very large. She likes to lie down after finishing her meal. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity and laziness be diagnosed and treated?

Doctor's answer:

Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and avoid being picky about food. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are recommended, and they should also eat more vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. High-calorie, high-fat foods should be avoided, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Additionally, children should not overeat all the time and should be encouraged to exercise more. If a child's condition is severe during the treatment for pediatric obesity, parents should promptly take them to the hospital and seek medical guidance for treatment under a doctor's supervision.
