Replacing beverages with high sugar content with water can help in the fight against childhood obesity, say researchers.

Specialists have noticed that when children substitute sweet drinks with water, the amount of calories consumed is significantly reduced, even if they do not reduce the number of other drinks and food, which contributes to weight loss in children. The study was published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.

Scientists found that children consume a large number of sugar-sweetened drinks every day, an average of 10-15% of their daily diet.

Replacing high-calorie drinks with calorie-free drinks is an easy and effective method of combating excess weight and calories, the researchers say.

The problem of childhood obesity is becoming more important every day, and it is necessary to search for the most effective methods of combating the minimal amount of negative impact on the children's organism.
