You’ve probably heard that something like a third of all kids in the United States are overweight or obese.
你可能聽過美國有三分之一的孩子超重或體型肥胖。
And you’ve probably also heard or read about all sorts of possible solutions: getting rid of sugary snacks and sodas in schools, changing the home food environment, proper parenting skills to promote weight loss…
你可能還聽說或看到過五花八門的減肥方法，比如，在學校遠離甜品和蘇打水，改變家庭飲食環境，采取適當的教育方式幫助孩子減肥。
But according a recent study, there’s only really one proven way to help kids lose weight, and that’s by parents losing weight themselves.
不過，最近一項調查顯示，唯一能夠幫助孩子減肥的有效方法就是父母首先要減肥。
Now, of course, not all overweight kids have overweight parents who need to or even should try to lose weight. But other studies have shown that being overweight or obese tends to run in families. And as the recent study suggests, parents setting a weight loss example is far and away the best method for helping kids slim down.
當然了，并非所有超重的孩子都有需要甚至應該試著減肥的肥胖父母。但其它研究顯示，超重或肥胖會在家族中蔓延。最新的調查表明，父母首先為孩子樹立減肥的榜樣無疑是幫孩子減肥的最佳方式。
