I never tire of adding benefits to the breastfeeding list. In the breastfeeding section of the blog you can find all the articles on the subject, in which we talk about the advantages of feeding the baby with breast milk.
This time, we talk about its benefits for the baby's heart. This has been certified by four thousand heart specialists gathered last week in a conference organized by the American Heart Association in Orlando (Florida).
They released data from a study that shows that being breastfed during childhood is associated with low body mass index averages and high HDL averages, high density proteins or good cholesterol.
That is, breast milk raise the chances of having a good cholesterol in 55% preventing hardening of the arteries and serious heart diseases in adulthood, and which is also related to a lower level of body mass.
AdvertisingWe have already talked about the fact that it is not good for the cardiovascular health of the baby that the mother smokes during pregnancy or of course, that the child develops obesity, a disease that on the other hand helps prevent breastfeeding.
As I said, that our baby has a strong heart throughout his life is a gift that we can provide through breastfeeding, which from here we continue and will continue to encourage more mothers to join her and have more children healthy.
