Overview

Breastfeeding has been a long traditional practice in many Asian countries, and is said to boost immunity in infants however recently breastfeeding has proven to be beneficial in mothers as well.

According to a meta-analysis published today in a pregnancy spotlight issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association(JAHA), an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association, women who breastfed were less likely to develop heart disease or a stroke, or die from cardiovascular disease than women who did not breastfeed.

The special issue, JAHA Spotlight on Pregnancy and Its Impact on Maternal and Offspring Cardiovascular Health, includes about a dozen research articles exploring various cardiovascular considerations during pregnancy for mother and child.
