Early puberty can affect height and psychology
Reduce children's intake of soy products and supplements
Doctors say that the harm of early puberty is great. If not treated in time, it will not only affect height but also bring psychological pressure to the child.
Children with early puberty, due to the increase in sex hormones, will also greatly advance the closure of the epiphyseal plates, and the growth period will be correspondingly shortened. Therefore, the height of these children in the future is often shorter than their peers.
Growth and development is a continuous process. Parents must pay attention to the child's condition, height, and weight compared with children of the same age during the following golden ages of development:
At 2 years old, pay special attention to the child's nutrition. At 4 years old, it is a transitional stage of growth. At 8 years old, normal physiological development begins. During this period, special attention should be paid to the child's condition at that time.
Experts: Children must have "a variety of foods". Children should not eat the same food every day. Only by eating a wide variety of foods can the concentration of various hormones in the body be kept below the level that causes harm.
Which foods "precocious" children?
These foods do not cause early puberty after eating once, but a cumulative process over time. Prevention is the wisest choice, as it concerns the child's entire life.
1, Homemade soy milk
Homemade soy milk is very rich and contains more soy isoflavones. Although it is not proven to directly cause early puberty, long-term consumption may induce developmental problems in children.
2, Fish roe and crab roe
Fish roe and crab roe are the eggs discharged by aquatic creatures. Although delicious, they should not be eaten by children in large quantities, as there is a risk of accelerating their development.
3, Royal jelly
Royal jelly is recognized as a food that children should not eat too much of. Besides containing hormones that can easily lead to early puberty, it can also easily cause children to have "internal heat" and is very bad for their health. Mothers should not give it to their children.
4, Silkworm pupa
The hormone content of silkworm pupa is very high. If children consume it frequently, it can lead to early puberty, which is especially obvious for boys who are growing taller.
5, Bird's nest
Bird's nest is rich in sialic acid. Eating an appropriate amount of bird's nest for children can promote the development of intelligence. However, excessive consumption can cause hormone levels to rise. For infants over 4 months old, the appropriate amount of bird's nest is 2-3 grams/day.
6, Durian
Durian contains high calories and sugar, and ripe durian may also contain alcohol, which is not good for children. Excessive nutrition can lead to abnormal development.
7, Chicken and duck necks
The residues of "growth promoters" in poultry are mainly concentrated in the glands of the head and neck. Chicken wings, duck necks, and goose necks are very popular foods among children.
8, Excessive meat
Protein is essential for children's development, but eating too much can lead to excess nutrition or fat accumulation in the child's body, which in turn can cause endocrine disorders and lead to early puberty.
9, Drinking juice instead of water
Juice and drinks taste good, and many children pester for them every day. Some mothers give their children juice instead of water. Little do they know that this can make the child develop prematurely and also cause serious damage to the stomach and intestines.
10, Medicinal meals and supplements
Many families nowadays have a strong concept of health preservation, and medicinal meals are common on the dining table. However, they are not suitable for children. The medicinal materials in medicinal meals, such as wolfberries and Codonopsis, have good effects for adults' health, but children should consume them with caution.
I believe the elderly at home love to ask about other children's height and weight, for fear that their own child will fall behind, and they give all kinds of supplements. Hurry up and tell the elderly who take care of the children not to give them too many supplements. "Helping the seedlings grow" will only have the opposite effect.
