How should child obesity and overweight be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 3 years old. In this year, I found that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and he eats more food than average children. He also doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should child obesity and overweight be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Once a child develops obesity, parents should first try to improve the situation through exercise and diet. Activities like swimming and hill climbing are very effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. Additionally, foods such as carrots and spinach are helpful in addressing obesity. Avoid giving children fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Moreover, don't let the child lie down motionless after meals. During the treatment period, parents should closely monitor the child's condition. If the situation is severe, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid treatment.
