There are thousands of delicacies on the market, and children’s favorites are various snacks such as chocolate candies, drinks and potato chips. As everyone knows, some foods will speed up the maturity of children and cause precocious puberty. Girls will have menarche at the age of seven or eight, and their epiphyseal bones will close early, but they will not grow until puberty. Therefore, in order to prevent premature puberty, avoid giving your children the following blacklisted snacks. What snacks can cause precocious puberty in children?
Processed meat. Commonly processed meat foods in daily life include various fish and shrimp balls, sausages, bacon, etc. These are not pure meat foods and contain very little meat. Instead, they contain many artificial additives such as flavors, pigments, and preservatives. In addition, a large amount of nitrite is also added during processing. Although delicious, children's gastrointestinal tracts are delicate and can easily cause diarrhea or abdominal pain.
Fried snacks. Almost all children like to eat fried snacks, such as potato chips, French fries and fried skewers. Eating potato chips while watching cartoons is wonderful, but it will affect your health. Fried snacks are high-fat and high-calorie foods, which are not conducive to protein decomposition and absorption, and can cause a large amount of fat to accumulate in the body, causing childhood obesity.
Foods high in sugar and calories. Candied cakes, chocolate, milk tea, etc. are all high-sugar and high-calorie foods. Eating too much can cause obesity, diabetes, and dental caries in children. Adding too much food coloring can cause allergies and dizziness in children.
Carbonated drinks. Most children like to drink carbonated drinks. Drinking them once or twice occasionally will not cause harm to the body, but long-term consumption can affect the absorption of calcium in the gastrointestinal tract, affect height development, and make bones become porous and brittle. The sugar contained in it can cause tooth decay and body obesity, reduce children's appetite, affect the absorption of nutrients, and lead to malnutrition.
Food that is heavy on oil and spicy. You will see many children on the street eating spicy bean curd or spicy chips with relish, but some foods are produced in black workshops and are very unhygienic. Too many sweeteners and flavors are also added, which can cause varying degrees of damage to the child's nervous system and even cause cancer.
Fast food. Many parents are busy at work and cook instant noodles for their children because cooking is troublesome or takes up time. However, eating them for a long time can cause gastrointestinal diseases. The seasoning in instant noodles contains more than 6 grams of salt, which increases the burden on children's kidneys and can easily cause high blood pressure in children. Additives such as calcium phosphate contained in seasoning packets can affect the body's absorption of minerals. Long-term intake will accumulate in organs and blood vessels, causing premature puberty in children.
For the health of your children, do not eat the above 6 types of foods, but this does not mean that all snacks are not good for your health. You can usually buy nut foods for your children as snacks, such as melon seeds, walnuts, chestnuts or almonds, which contain a lot of vitamins, dietary fiber and plant protein. In addition, let children eat more fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, apples, cucumbers, pears, etc., which can promote growth and development and improve immunity.
