A member asked:
Does playing sports and eating healthy makes you go through puberty more early?
10 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: The actual factors initiating puberty are complex, but good nutrition & physical activity are not known to speed the process. In some cases, physical training for sports like gymnastics & the lean body required may delay puberty in some. Weight excess may accelerate puberty and lead to decreased final height.

No: At this point we do not know what makes you go through puberty early except for obesity so a healthy lifestyle may prevent the risk of going into puberty early.

No: Being active and eating healthy make for a good lifestyle. Overdoing the exercise can actually delay puberty. You should discuss this with your doctor.
