Precocious Puberty
I. Precocious Puberty refers to the sexual and physical characteristics mature occurring at an unusually early age such as before age 7 or 8 in girls and age 9 for boys.
Understand the process of puberty
The process of puberty begins with production of
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) from the brain, which in turn
stimulates the pituitary gland to produce the luteinizing hormone (LH)
and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These two hormones again
stimulates the ovaries in girls and testicles in boys to produce
estrogen and testosterone responsible for the growth and development of
girl and male sexual characteristics respectfully.
B. Dietary
Causes of Precocious Puberty
1. Saturated and trans fat
Intake of high amount of saturated and trans fat as a result of
typical American diet can cause fat build up in the waist area, leading
to the estrogen effects of precocious puberty.
2. Increases intake with foods with high in estrogen
Most foods such as beef, pork, chicken, egg, diary, etc. contains
high levels of growth hormones which have serious estrogenic effects in
promoting the early puberty in girls and boys.
3. Insufficient dietary fiber
Typical American diet causes less estrogen to be eliminated through
waste and high levels of insulin in the body, leading to more fat to be
stored, causing high levels of estrogen that can lead to early puberty.
4. Diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrate
Diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrate over the prolonged
period of time can reduce the function of pancreas in production of
insulin, leading to the onset of diabetes, causing high levels of
estrogen that can lead to precocious puberty.
