Child obesity, what to eat and how to treat

Patient's question:

Boys, who are already 7 years old, recently, found that my child is getting fatter and fatter. Additionally, their appetite is very large, and they usually don't like to go out to play. Please ask: How can the obesity of children be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

For children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more exercise and avoid picky eating. Parents should supervise their children in doing aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. High-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes should be consumed in abundance. Frying foods and dry fruits should be prohibited, as they are high in empty calories and fat. Children should not be allowed to sleep immediately after meals or snack while lying on the sofa. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly take the child to the hospital to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
