Children with precocious puberty can eat nectarines. Nectarines contain a relatively high amount of dietary fiber, which helps promote gastrointestinal motility and accelerates the digestion and absorption of nutrients; thus, moderate consumption generally does not significantly affect health. However, intake should be controlled—avoid consuming excessive amounts at once to prevent potential adverse effects on health. If precocious puberty is diagnosed, prompt medical treatment is essential; delaying treatment is not advisable.
