They found that women who had breastfed their children were at 9 percent lower risk of heart disease and 8 per cent lower risk of stroke, compared with women who had never breastfed. Women who breastfeed their babies have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke, a new study from the University of Oxford has found. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia and about 55,000 people are expected to suffer a stroke this year. While most previous research has focused on the benefits of breastfeeding for the baby, the study found that a mother's risk of heart disease and stroke decreases with each additional six months of breastfeeding. Do you have a history of heart disease in your family?
Breast-feeding mothers at lower risk of heart disease, stroke
What is more, researchers found that a mother's risk of heart disease and stroke further decreased with each additional 6 months of breast-feeding. Mothers who breast-feed their babies may be at lower risk of heart disease and stroke. It is not only babies who benefit from breast-feeding; a new study finds that the practice may lower a mother's risk of heart disease and stroke. The team found that, overall, women who had breast-fed their children were at 9 percent lower risk of heart disease and 8 percent lower risk of stroke, compared with women who had never breast-fed. After accounting for a wealth of cardiovascular disease risk factors, including opioid, diabetes, and high blood pressure, the results remained.collected by :Lucy William
