More than 500,000 children in China are precocious, and it is not fried chicken soy milk that "destroys" children, and parents should reflect

A young mother took her child to the hospital. Mom looked a little anxious, she said: "My child is only six years old, when I bathed her yesterday, I found that her breasts actually began to develop, which is really sad for me."

After examination, her child's estrogen content was too high, and there was a problem of early development.

Coincidentally, some time ago, I went to do a full body physical examination for primary school students, and the result made the doctor break out in a cold sweat, and many girls aged eleven or twelve or even younger had "menarche", and boys had the phenomenon of gao pill development and long beard.

The problem of precocious puberty in children on the mainland is becoming more and more serious, and more than 500,000 children in the country currently need treatment. Many people think that this is because today's children often eat fried chicken and soy milk, but in fact, it is not these that "destroy" children, and parents should reflect.

What is precocious puberty? What are the manifestations of precocious puberty?

From a professional point of view, precocious puberty is that sexual function develops too early, and puberty arrives too early, generally referring to the second sexual characteristics of girls before the age of 8 and boys before the age of 9.

According to the different causes of the disease, precocious puberty can be divided into true precocious puberty, pseudoprecocious puberty, partial precocious puberty and so on. The disease tends to occur in girls.

The basic cause of precocious puberty may start from brain function, after all, the brain is a key organ that controls the secretion of hormones throughout the body. Scientists have found that when a child develops precocious puberty, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis function is activated in advance, so the level of sex hormones in the body is continuously increased, and then a secondary sexual characteristic appears.

In addition, the disease can also cause precocious puberty. For example, tumors and congenital adrenal hyperplasia occur in the child's body, resulting in an increase in the level of sex hormones, so there is development.

Third, some children have "partial precocious puberty", that is, incomplete precocious puberty, such as only breast development or height development in children, but other parts are still in childhood.

So what are the typical symptoms of precocious puberty?

Girls: Secondary sexual characteristics such as breast development and menarche develop before the age of 8 years.

Boys: Secondary sexual characteristics appear before the age of 9 years: such as enlarged gao pills, raised beard and throat knots, etc.

Height grows rapidly, epiphyseals close, and bones become heavier.

All in all, as long as there is precocious puberty, it is full of adverse effects on the future development of children and physical and mental health, what is the reason for all this?

Fried chicken and soy milk are "murderers"?

With the increase in the incidence of precocious puberty in children, more and more parents began to fall into panic, so many related "science popularization" came into being and began to teach everyone how to prevent precocious puberty in children.

Among them, the most accepted is "like to eat fried chicken, small fat mound appeared precocious puberty", "drink soy milk to drink precocious puberty", their theoretical basis is fried chicken, soy milk in the hormone content exceeds the standard, will lead to children's precocious puberty.

Is there any scientific basis for this?

First, let's talk about fried chicken. Many people think that the reason why the current chicken grows so fast, 30-40 days can be out of the cage or even more than 20 days can be out of the cage, this must be "hormone chicken" or "sick chicken", children eat after eating is equivalent to eating hormones, will develop in advance.

In fact, no, the chickens used for processing on the market are "white feather chickens", which is a kind of "broiler chicken" screened by the survival of the fittest, with the characteristics of short maturity time and fast barn, so the chicken grows fast is not drugged, but caused by breed + scientific feeding.

As for hormones, it is generally impossible, people who play hormones will be easy to get sick, not to mention chickens, and the eggs produced by chickens that have played hormones are also full of problems, and they cannot be sampled at all, and the mainland clearly stipulates that this kind of meat and poultry is not allowed to play hormones, at most some merchants inject water, and it is basically impossible to play hormones.

Some people have to ask again, then why do some children eat fried chicken every day, which eventually leads to premature puberty? Have you ever thought that this might be a problem of obesity? Excessive obesity in young children can lead to precocious puberty.

This is followed by soy milk. Some people believe that soy milk contains a large number of phytoestrogens, and after drinking too much, it will lead to a large increase in hormones in the human body and trigger precocious puberty.

If you really think so, it's really not very wise. Soybeans contain not estrogen at all, but estrogen-like soybean isoflavones, which are known as "phytoestrogens", which can be seen from the name, it is "estrogen-like", not estrogen. Not to mention that the biological conversion itself is a complex process, not to eat what will be supplemented, soy isoflavone intake on the sex hormone effect is minimal.

Not to mention that if you are out of the dose to talk about the impact, you are playing a rogue.

Each 100 grams of soybeans contain only 65.11 mg of soy isoflavones, and the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents recommend that everyone consume 25 grams of soybeans to 35 grams per day, which is equal to 500 ml -600 ml of soy milk. Normal people can only drink 200-300 ml of soy milk in a cup, so you can consume up to 6.5-11.39 mg of soy isoflavones per day, which does not have a big impact on people.

Therefore, fried chicken and soy milk have little impact on children's precocious puberty.

The causes of precocious puberty in children may be related to these

Precocious puberty in children has always been a heavy topic, it can lead to serious problems such as malformations and depression in children, so we need to understand what causes precocious puberty and strive to avoid these causes.

1. Take too many hormone drugs

The mainland is a big drug country, naturally there will be the problem of drug abuse, many people like to prepare some commonly used drugs at home, but everyone knows very little about pharmacology, only know that it is useful, and this is likely to lead to the family's children taking hormone drugs prematurely, and parents are unaware of the situation.

When a child takes too many hormone drugs, there will be a ripening reaction, secondary sexual characteristics begin to develop, and height will gradually freeze in childhood.

2. Obesity

Obesity is a serious problem. Some time ago, I went to a primary school for a physical examination, and in addition to paying attention to the problem of precocious puberty, the doctor also paid attention to the problem of obesity. In each class, one-third of the children are obese, and 1-2 children are severely obese, which is also an important cause of precocious puberty.

Long-term intake of high-calorie food, will make the fat content in children's body more and more high, over time will lead to increased estrogen synthesis, it can be said that overnutrition, obesity is an important reason for affecting precocious puberty.

However, our parents are not aware of this problem, in terms of the current economic conditions, as long as they eat normally, how can there be malnutrition? We should pay more attention to overnutrition, so don't give your child a lot of nutrition anymore.

3. Turn on the incandescent lamp to sleep at night

There are actually many studies on this aspect, and studies have shown that turning on the lights at night to sleep has a certain impact on children's precocious puberty, this is because the body will use the light as daytime, and then it will not enter a dormant state and will accelerate development. That is to say, people may have to go on a ten-year developmental journey, and if you don't turn off the lights at night, you may finish it in five years.

Children's precocious puberty is definitely not conducive to the child's physical and mental health, and even causes shadows in the development process. In this regard, as parents, we should pay attention to the changes in the child, and then pay attention to the diet, living environment, and drugs, and do not "ripen" the child.
