How should children who are overweight or obese be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 4 years old, this year, I noticed, the child is getting fatter and fatter, and it seems to eat very uncontrollably. Usually, she doesn't like to go out to play. Please ask: How should obesity and overweight in children be treated effectively.

Doctor's answer:

If you find that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises within the child's tolerance range, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach, carrots, etc. Avoid letting them eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Additionally, don't let the child lie down motionless immediately after eating. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of the obesity and then receive targeted treatment.
