”Now when you see elementary and middle school students walking down the street, it’s impossible to tell their true age, and many kindergarteners are developing just like elementary school students, so what a shame!”
Possible manifestations of development
Girls: pain in the chest, touching the sister’s breasts, the appearance of the breast bulge, or nipple protrusion, color change, pubic hair, armpit hair, a small amount of secretions on the underwear, menstruation, height growth accelerated.
Boys: Does the penis become longer, the balls (testicles) increase in size, frequent erections of the penis, the appearance of a throat knot, the voice becomes low, height growth accelerates.
Is it because the living conditions are too good now, or is it because of improper diet that leads to “precocious puberty”? Some girls get their period in the third or fourth grade, or even earlier. The following is a blacklist of foods that can cause “precocious puberty” in babies!
1, can be used in the medicine of the great tonic food
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. Especially the Cantonese, like to medicinal food soup. Chinese medicine points out that the more tonic type of medicine, the more it will change the normal endocrine environment of the child, resulting in imbalance of physical and mental development.
2, health products
Some parents buy health products for their children in order to make them grow taller. Children’s market supplements and oral liquids, a considerable part of the hormone content, hormones make children at the age of 5, 6 years old than children of the same age tall and strong, but when the child enters the normal development stage, but do not see the growth.
Children’s body metabolism is very strong, as long as the normal diet, can provide them with the necessary nutrition for growth and development, only excess nutrition, do not worry about malnutrition, supplements will only be detrimental to the health of children.
Other health products such as colostrum, calcium, cod liver oil, etc. should also be consumed correctly, if the baby is developing all normal, should be the main dietary supplements.
3, poultry meat, especially poultry neck
The majority of poultry sold in the market today are fed with feed mixed with fast growth agents, and the residues of “maturation promoters” in poultry meat are mainly concentrated in the glands of the head and neck part of poultry, thus, eating duck neck, goose neck, it becomes a “precocious” high-risk behavior.
In addition, the glands on the chicken wings are also very rich, remember to remind your child to bite off that piece and spit it out when eating. It is best not to eat the chicken butt, which contains a lot of fat, but also gathers numerous lymphatic tissues, which harbor germs, viruses, carcinogens and other harmful substances, so it is not recommended.
4.Anti-seasonal vegetables and fruits
Strawberries, grapes, watermelon, tomatoes, etc. in winter, pears, apples, oranges and peaches that are listed early in late spring are almost always in season or ripen early with the help of “growth promoters”, which must be avoided for children under 10 years old.
5.Fried foods
Especially fried chicken, French fries and potato chips. Excessive calories will be transformed into excess fat in children’s bodies, triggering endocrine disruption and leading to precocious puberty; moreover, cooking oil is repeatedly heated and used, the high temperature makes its oxidation and denaturation, which is also one of the causes of “precocious puberty”. More than twice a week patronize foreign fast food, and often eat fried puffed food for children, “precocious puberty” is 2.5 times the likelihood of ordinary children.
6, honey and royal jelly
Royal jelly contains a certain amount of phytoestrogens, if children take long-term may lead to precocious puberty, honey is relatively safe, natural honey is generally will not lead to precocious puberty, but now honey is not natural, parents still have to be more careful.
7, farmed fish, shrimp and crab, etc.
Now many farmers will contraceptive pills for fish, shrimp and crab feeding, in order to greater benefit. Therefore parents should try to choose wild food for their babies, such as sea fish and sea shrimp.
8, fish roe and crab, homemade soy milk, durian
Home-ground soy milk is very rich, which contains more soy progesterone. Although it was not determined that it can directly lead to precocious sexual maturity. However, long-term consumption may induce developmental problems in children.
Not only may soy milk induce precocious puberty in children, but even our most commonly eaten durian, ripe fruits and vegetables and hairy crabs may cause precocious puberty in young children. These foods can either stimulate the body’s estrogen production or contain extremely high amounts of estrogen or progesterone themselves.
7 tips to avoid precocious puberty
How to avoid the risk of precocious puberty? Some domestic doctors recommend not to eat chicken, while some foreign doctors suggest vegetarianism, which may not be reliable. In a nutshell, you can focus on these points.
1. reduce the use of plastic products. The bisphenol A (BPA) and plasticizers have the risk of causing premature sexual maturity.
2. Try not to give children to eat nutritional supplements (including colostrum), without the “blue hat” logo must not eat.
3. from childhood to train children cereals, vegetables, meat, eggs and milk of a reasonable mix, do not think that high protein is good food. The intake of too much can lead to excess nutrition or fat accumulation, which can cause endocrine disruption and thus precocious sexual maturity.
4. Do not let your child drink juice and drinks as water to avoid excessive energy intake.
5. Play and exercise with your child more often to reduce hormone level abnormalities caused by obesity.
6. Don’t let your child take birth control pills by mistake.
7. If there are signs of precocious puberty, go to a regular hospital to have your child’s bone age measured, ultrasound done, serum and urine hormone measurements, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test.
Finally, precocious puberty in children is just an advancement of physiological development, there is no need to panic!
You can tell your child about the knowledge and reasoning, relieve your child’s mind, reduce the burden of thought, no need to be shy, and do not have a sense of inferiority, but also pay attention to the physiological hygiene of the menstrual period, know the self-protection of the breast, genitalia and other parts.
