How should obesity in children be treated appropriately?

Patient's question:

Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. Recently, I have observed that my child's weight is much higher than other children, and he also seems to eat without restraint. He doesn't really like to play outside. What should I do about his obesity and laziness?

Doctor's answer:

To help your child change the symptoms of obesity, you need to arrange reasonable exercise and diet for them. You can arrange aerobic exercises for your child, such as swimming or jogging. You should encourage your child to eat more foods like apples, kiwis, carrots, etc. Avoid letting your child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, French fries, and cookies. Strictly control your child's diet and prevent them from overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for reducing your child's obesity. During the treatment of obesity in your child, if the above methods do not alleviate their symptoms, it is important to go to the hospital in time to investigate the cause and avoid the condition from worsening.
