Girls should not eat too much dietary fiber

In recent years, foreign scientists have observed and analyzed the menarche of girls in 30 countries and regions and found that diet can affect the age of menarche in girls, especially the fiber content in food.

The average age of menarche for London girls, whose diets were low in fiber, was 13, while the average age of menarche for New Guinea girls, whose diets were high in fiber, was 17. We know that the development of ovarian function and the secretion of female hormones require sufficient cholesterol. The cholesterol people need is mainly obtained from food. Whether the cholesterol in food can be well absorbed is related to the fiber content in the food. If the fiber content is higher, more cholesterol in the food can be excreted from the intestines through feces, thereby reducing the absorption of cholesterol. This will also lead to a decrease in the synthesis of female hormones in girls.

The reduction in female hormone synthesis will also affect the development of reproductive organs such as the uterus, delaying the age of menarche in girls. From this we can see that young girls should pay attention to their diet and should not consume too much food with high fiber content. They should pay attention to the nutritional balance of their diet and eat more lean meat, fish, eggs, milk, poultry and other foods rich in cholesterol. To promote the development and healthy maintenance of sexual organs.
