Breastfeeding is good not only for the baby, but also for the mother.. Australian scientists say women who breastfeed their children are less likely to experience high blood pressure.

An analysis of medical data from 75,000 Australian women over the age of 45, conducted by a group of researchers from the University of Western Sydney School of Medicine, showed that the risk of developing arterial hypertension in those women who breastfed their children after childbirth. It is noteworthy that the degree of risk decreased depending on the duration of breastfeeding - the longer the child received mother's milk, the lower the woman's risk of hypertension in subsequent years..



Experts still find it difficult to explain the established connection, however, they remind that breastfeeding has been repeatedly recognized as the best way not only to improve children's health, but also a good method of preventing women's diseases (including the development of breast cancer).

As for the timing of feeding, this time the scientists came to the conclusion that there are no universal recommendations in this matter - breastfeeding should last as long as there is a need for breast milk in a child and as long as the state of health of a woman allows to satisfy this need..
