Hormones Happy Fruits for Teens and Kids

Teenagers undergo major physical development and hormone imbalance during their puberty phase. These physical changes are regulated by changes in the levels of hormones which are produced by the pituitary gland—luteinizing hormone (responsible for menstrual cycle in girls) and follicle-stimulating hormone (responsible for reproductive system in both girls and boys). Surprisingly, a new born baby has high levels of these hormones which taper down in a couple of months. At adolescence, these hormones spike up again and cause major physical developments in the body of teens. At this time some hormone happy fruits can really help.

In the early puberty phase, luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone increase and cause hormone imbalance resulting in major physical changes including weight gain, outbursts of acne, height gain and behavioral change like anxiety, hyper-activity and short-temperedness. The recent lifestyle trend of teenagers has also added to much higher consumption of food which is high in both carbohydrates and fat (why is this bad?) This not only results in excessive weight gain, but also anxiety and stress leading to further hormone imbalance. Some (forgotten) seasonal fruit good for child, which can help solve these concerns of the growing kids and make hormones happy are mentioned below.
