What are the dietary principles for growing girls?

From infancy to adulthood, the body needs to undergo two stages of development. The most important development is puberty. Puberty is the most important stage for girls. At this time, you will find that the child's body grows taller and many organs begin to develop, such as breasts and ovaries. At this time, the developing girl should pay attention to diet and eat more nutritious food to help the body develop. If the diet is unreasonable, it will lead to stunted development, and in severe cases it will also affect the development of organs. So what are the dietary principles for developing girls?

1. Adolescent girls should pay attention to avoiding eating certain foods during menstruation, otherwise it is easy to cause harm to the body. These foods are divided into three main categories:

A. Raw and cold foods: those referred to as cold foods in traditional Chinese medicine, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone ear, stone flower, and ground ear. Most of these foods have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and reducing fire. They are beneficial to the human body when consumed on a normal basis. However, you should try not to eat or eat less of these foods during the menstrual period, otherwise it will easily cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation.

B. Spicy foods: such as cinnamon, prickly ash, cloves, pepper, etc. These foods are all condiments. In normal times, when cooking, adding some peppers to the dishes can make the dishes taste better. However, women during their menstrual period should not eat these spicy and irritating foods, otherwise it may easily lead to dysmenorrhea, excessive menstrual bleeding and other symptoms.

C. Foods that affect sexual function: water chestnut, wild rice stem, wax gourd, kale, bracken, rabbit meat, black fungus, and hemp seeds.

2. Adolescence requires a lot of protein, minerals and water, and it must be comprehensive. Women need about 80-90 grams of protein per day. The composition of protein in different foods, that is, the types of amino acids, are not the same, so the food you eat should be varied to ensure a comprehensive amino acid supplement, and you should not be picky about food.

3. Adolescent girls have a greater demand for calories. They need 2600-2700 calories per day, which is more than adults. These calories mainly come from sugar, fat and protein. Some people do not eat breakfast or do not eat enough, and the calorie supply is obviously insufficient, which will inevitably affect their growth and development, so they must eat a good breakfast.

4. Girls entering puberty should pay attention to rest before and after meals: If you exercise before or after meals, the blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract will be reduced, which will inevitably lead to a decline in gastrointestinal function, causing indigestion and a series of gastrointestinal problems. Therefore, you should pay attention to rest before and after meals to ensure the blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract. Patients with gastric ulcers should quit smoking because nicotine in tobacco can change the acidity and alkalinity of gastric juice, disrupt the normal activity of the pyloric cavity, and induce or aggravate ulcers.

Growing girls should pay attention to their diet. They must consume nutritious food and pay attention to a reasonable diet to prevent overnutrition, which will lead to developmental problems, of which obesity is the most obvious manifestation. In addition, growing girls should not go on a diet or eat foods containing hormones, otherwise it will affect their body development and have an impact on the development of organs such as breasts and ovaries. At the same time, when a child's height development is poor, more attention should be paid to it. He should go to the hospital to check the cause of his short stature and then receive symptomatic treatment.
