Marasmus is caused by a deficiency in essentially every nutrient, especially proteins and calories, so to treat it the basic idea is to return all the nutritional levels in the body to their healthy level. This is usually brought about with a diet high in easily digestible, nutritious food (e.g. basmati rice or some of the easily obtainable good fruits, like bananas), as well as good exposure to sunlight. Some of the symptoms, e.g. diarrhoea, would need to be treated as well. Complications of marasmus can include circulation difficulties and diarrhoea, so they also require their own treatment.
