Early Puberty in Girls
January 8th, 2008 by phyllis
Dr. Oz answered a question on the Oprah show regarding the early signs of puberty in a girl of 8. His response involved the importance of helping children avoid being overweight. Apparently, when girls are overweight, the fat can stimulate estrogen which is a hormone that is related to puberty. His advice along with eating healthy, was to get your children to go out and play. Physical activity can help children maintain a healthy weight without putting too much emphasis on what they eat.
