A mother who gives milk not only provides benefits to her baby just because there are breast-feeding can also increase the mother's heart health. This is according to a report in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology.
The researchers reported that women who breastfeed for more than 12 months can reduce your risk of heart disease by 10 percent, while also significantly reducing the risk factors for heart disease like high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol.
"We found that the longer a mother is breastfeeding her child, then the risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases will also be getting smaller," says Dr. Eleanor Bimla Schwarz, an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Research on Health Care, as quoted from HealthDay.
It was common knowledge that exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months will provide great benefits to the baby. In addition, breastfeeding also provides mafaat for his mother as help you lose weight and improve glucose tolerance and cholesterol metabolism.
In this study using data from the Women's Health Initiative, which involves 140 000 postmenopausal women with an average age of 63 years. Women provided information about diet and breast-feeding history, while the researchers collected data BMI (body mass index / body mass index), as well as her medical history. During the study participants submitted his medical reports and the average time of this study was 8 years old.
Researchers found that women who do not breastfeed tend to have high blood pressure, diabetes, abnormal cholesterol and heart disease. Schwarz said that women who breastfeed only one or two months can improve health, but feeding a long time will provide even greater benefits.
After a year of breastfeeding was found that the possibility of having high blood pressure decreasing by 12 percent, decreased by 20 percent diabetes, abnormal cholesterol levels decreased by 19 percent and the risk of heart disease decreased by 9 percent compared with women who did not breastfeed.
"Many factors play a role here, the process of mobilizing fat and breast-feeding will have an impact on cholesterol. This also increases the levels of the hormone oxytocin which can make blood vessels relax," said Dr. Nieca Goldberg, director of the New York University Langone Medical Center Women's Heart Program.
But not the only factor that breast feeding alone can reduce the risk of heart disease, but the pattern of life as a young man also contribute. Therefore, if you want to get maximum results, apply a healthy lifestyle and give milk to your child.
