Answer
If a child is diagnosed with pediatric obesity, it is important to first arrange for a reasonable amount of exercise and a healthy diet. For pediatric obesity, it is recommended to increase aerobic exercises such as climbing hills and swimming, and to consume vegetables that can improve obesity, such as winter melon and green beans. High-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies should not be given. Help the child change habits such as a lack of exercise or overeating. In severe cases, it is recommended that parents take their child to see a doctor for targeted treatment of the obesity problem.
