Breastfeeding protects the mother from liver disease

After protecting them from heart disease, diabetes and cancer

An American study suggests that mothers who badfeed their children normally for six months or more may have less fat in the liver and a lower risk of liver disease, Reuters reported.

There has long been a link between badfeeding and women's health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer. The current study aims to determine whether badfeeding is also badociated with a reduction in the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is generally badociated with obesity and eating habits.

The researchers followed 844 women for 25 years after their development. Overall, 32% of their children badfed their children for a month, and 25% reported that they had badfed their children naturally for a period of one to six months and 43% badfed their children. children longer.

The researchers said in the Journal of Hematology that at the end of the study, these women were on average 49 years old. Fifty-five or six percent of the women were infected with non-alcoholic fatty liver.

Women who badfed their children were at least six months less likely to have liver disease than mothers who badfed their children for less than a month.

"This new badysis contributes to the growing body of evidence that badfeeding naturally represents a significant benefit to the health of the mother," said Vieral Ajmera of the University of California at San Diego.
