What foods cause precocious puberty in children?

Most children experience precocious puberty due to diet, because people mainly obtain nutrients through diet. Once there is a problem with the diet, the harm to the human body is immeasurable, especially for children. Because children's resistance is not as good as adults, they are more susceptible to certain diseases, especially precocious puberty during the growth stage. This is the most common disease in childhood, and the treatment of this disease is quite complicated.

1. Excessive animal food

As they still remember the era of food shortages, parents often hope that their children can eat better now, especially grandparents, who are afraid that their children are not eating well enough. Excessive intake of animal food not only easily causes children to become obese, but also often results in excessive intake of additives in animal feed. The vast majority of poultry sold on the market today are fed with feed mixed with rapid growth agents, and the same is often true for pigs, cattle, and mutton. This may be the most common reason for the increasing number of precocious puberty every year. At the same time, with the worsening of environmental pollution, pollutants may also enter the bodies of animals, and pollutants in animals are more likely to deposit in the bone marrow. Too much bone soup not only fails to supplement calcium, but may also cause lead poisoning and precocious puberty. Human fat cells can also secrete small amounts of estrogen. Obese children have a significantly higher rate of precocious puberty than normal children.

2. Off-season vegetables and fruits

Strawberries, grapes, watermelons, tomatoes, etc. in winter, and pears, apples, oranges, and peaches that are available early in late spring, are almost all out of season or ripen early with the help of "ripening agents" and must be avoided when feeding them to young children. Fruits that are too bright are often ripened by agents and should be avoided. Foods such as fresh lychees contain certain substances similar to human estrogen, and excessive consumption may also cause precocious puberty.

3. Tonic foods that can be used as medicine include Cordyceps sinensis, ginseng, dried longan, dried lychee, astragalus, and Adenophora radix. Traditional Chinese medicine points out that the more nourishing the medicinal food is, the more likely it is to change the child’s normal endocrine environment, causing an imbalance in his or her physical and mental development. Other nutritional supplements such as silkworm pupae, chicken embryos, placenta, royal jelly, bovine colostrum, and pollen preparations often contain high levels of sex hormones and are also common causes of precocious puberty.

Therefore, foods that generally cause precocious puberty in children are out-of-season foods, because some drugs will be used out of season, and these drugs contain certain hormone components. If consumed by adults, they may not have much impact, but children's ability to absorb these drugs is not that strong, so it is particularly easy for their physiological systems to undergo some changes, which naturally leads to the occurrence of precocious puberty.
