Breast Feeding Decrease The Risk Of High Blood Pressure

Breast Feeding Decrease The Risk Of High Blood Pressure.

Another result of the research about the benefits of breastfeeding was released. According to research published in American Journal of Epidemiology ternayar Edition, mothers who are breastfeeding within the recommended period (6-12 months) have a lower risk of high blood pressure later in the day.

Research, however, did not conclude that breastfeeding is the reason for creating a healthy blood pressure. But they add to evidence that breast-feeding may have benefits not only for the baby, but for the mother as well.

In General, experts recommend that infants given BREAST MILK exclusively during their first six months, and then continue to get BREAST MILK along with solid foods until they are one year old.

Breastfeeding is beneficial to protect infants against common diseases, such as diarrhea and infections of the ear. But there is also some evidence that breast-feeding may lower the risk of the mother of several health problems.

Studies have found that women who breastfeed have a lower risk of diabetes, were exposed to high cholesterol, and heart disease later in life – though none of them were able to prove a causal relationship that these two factors.

For the new study, researchers looked at correlations between the gift of ASI and the risk of high blood pressure. This research involves volunteers 56 thousand u.s. women who have at least one baby.

Overall, the study found, women who have been breastfed for at least six months less new will develop high blood pressure is 14 years older than the mother that the baby drinks the milk bottle.

Almost a woman 8900 participate in research as a whole was finally diagnosed with high blood pressure. But 22 percent higher for women who did breastfeed their first child than women who are breastfeeding, exclusively for six months.

However, it should be seen as factors such as dietary habits, exercise, and smoking.

No findings prove that giving BREAST MILK provides protection against long-term high blood pressure, said Chief Researcher, Dr. Alison Stuebe M, from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

"It is reasonable that breastfeeding has direct benefits," said Stuebe. Research on animals has been found that the hormone oxytocin, which is involved in feeding, have a direct effect on blood pressure.

"Women also tend to have a decrease in short term blood pressure immediately after feeding," added Stuebe.
