Childhood obesity, how can it be treated well

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 1 year old. In this year, I feel that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and he can eat several bowls of rice at one meal. He doesn't like to play outside. Please ask: How can the obesity of the child be treated well.

Doctor's answer:

If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. You can arrange aerobic exercises for your child, such as swimming or jogging. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc. It is essential to strictly prohibit your child from eating high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Moreover, if your child prefers to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this bad habit. It is important to remind parents that during the treatment period, if the child's condition worsens, they must take them to the hospital to diagnose the condition and receive targeted treatment.
