How should pediatric obesity be treated?

Patient's question:

Boys, who are already 8 years old, recently feel that their child is getting fatter and seems to eat excessively. They also don't like to play outside as much as before. How should pediatric obesity and laziness be treated?

Doctor's answer:

When a child's body shows obesity, parents should create a set of exercise plans and healthy diets for them. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming can be beneficial. Additionally, children should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots, and avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods like burgers, fries, and cookies. Strictly control the child's diet to prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing obesity in children. During the treatment period, parents should closely monitor the child's condition. In severe cases, medical treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor and not through blind treatments.
