Breastfeeding helps in avoiding cancer
Some experts maintain that “The benefits of breastfeeding for the infant are well known. However, the mother also gets benefits from it. It leds to retrieve the line in record time and also reduces the incidence of breast and ovarian cancer because of being monitored more. They are just some positive outcomes.”
However, the gynecologist Juan José Vidal, from Ruber Clinic, believes that “these benefits are not scientifically proved.”
Nuria Camus, a nutritionist says “It is more healthier for the mother than for the baby” and clarifies that ” it reduces the incidence of breast and ovarian cancer and provides aesthetic benefits,” and that “these are just some of the consequences of the hormones released during breastfeeding.”
The research division of Kaiser Permanente institution in Oakland in the United States, published this week that “breast-feeding reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome among 39 to 56% in women who had gestational diabetes and between 44 and 86 % in those who have it. “
The researcher Erica Gunderson, committed to this study, maintains that “the findings suggest that breastfeeding could have lasting positive effects on risk factors in women in the later development of diabetes or heart disease.”
Nutritionist Camus explains that “Breastfeeding women have lower levels of blood glucose and lipids in the weeks after the childbirth than those who did not breastfeed. In addition, participants in the study who did not develop metabolic syndrome had less abdominal fat and higher levels of good cholesterol. This is consistent with the aesthetic benefits.”
He added that “Breastfeeding also has aesthetic benefits. The breasts are kept in better condition if a woman breastfeeds two or three months minimum and the figure recover faster if you nurse the baby. “
He explains that “losing weight after childbirth is not only a matter of aesthetics or a reduction in cancer risk. Postpartum depression can be avoided or minimized if the woman is better. “
