Patient's question:
Doctor, my daughter is experiencing precocious puberty. I would like to know what I should pay attention to on a daily basis, and what foods I should eat or avoid now.Doctor's answer:
It is essential to pay attention to diet and exercise regularly. It is absolutely necessary to avoid consuming excessive greasy and sweet foods, and instead, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. It is strictly forbidden to consume foods that are out of season.In winter, many fruits like strawberries, grapes, watermelon, and tomatoes contain high levels of nutrients. In spring, there are early-season fruits such as pears, apples, oranges, and peaches. Such early-ripening fruits, which are treated with growth hormones, should be strictly avoided for children under the age of 10. It is also forbidden to consume supplements rich in sex hormones. Otherwise, hormone drugs should be used cautiously to prevent obesity, and psychological counseling should be provided to children. Educate them to maintain early sleep and regular exercise to promote the division of bone and cartilage cells, which can enhance growth and reduce immunity.
