Even if you are breast-feeding a couple of months, thus for many years significantly reduced the risk of metabolic syndrome - a whole heap of pathologies culprit in the development of various heart diseases. Such data are contained in a new study, published the journal Diabetes.
Did not have gestational (relating to pregnancy) diabetes women who breastfeed from one to five months, reduce the risk of Metabolic syndrome 39%. For women gestational diabetes this risk is reduced by 44%.
Generally, the longer a woman breastfeeding the child, the better it would then affect the health of her heart. If feeding continued for at least nine months, the risk of Metabolic syndrome reduced by 86% in women with gestational diabetes And 56% in those who do not have this diabetes.
" Lactation very useful for women's health, as well as her child - says study author Eric Gunderson, an epidemiologist and research scientist at the California research center Kaiser Permanente in Oakland. - Breastfeeding protects women from heart disease and diabetes, even in the distant future. "
In addition, nursing mothers reduces the risk of ear and respiratory infections, asthma, allergic diseases of the skin, breast and ovarian cancer, as well as post-partum infection. And the baby dramatically reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. The studies examined women in different periods after breastfeeding, which amounted to 7, 10, 15 and 20 years.
Scientists have not been able to find out what it is so many years to protect breastfeeding from dangerous diseases. It is suggested that this may play a role insulin.
