Breastfed infants prevent high blood pressure, which is lower in adults than in bottle fed infants. This means that they are at relatively reduced risk of heart disease, which is known as the number one killer in developed countries.
For a three-month-old, breastfeeding baby, his systolic pressure will drop by 0.2 percent. However, the time of breastfeeding had no significant effect on diastolic pressure of the heart.
"Although blood pressure has dropped only a little bit, it may be important for public health," experts said. The systolic pressure of the heart is reduced by 1 percentage point and the mortality rate due to various reasons will be reduced by 1.5% People with lower blood pressure are less at risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and other related diseases. There are other benefits of breastfeeding, such as the fact that babies are not prone to obesity, are less likely to have behavioral problems, and are different intellectually from other babies. Therefore, experts suggest that all mothers should try to breastfed their babies in the first year, and if possible, the following year.
Experts believe that the nutritional components in human milk may be the main cause of blood pressure reduction. Breastfed children absorb relatively little sodium, which can affect blood pressure. In addition, there are more unsaturated fatty acids in breast milk, which can affect the development of blood vessels in infants. Experts point out that obesity is also related to hypertension, obesity also promotes the production of insulin antibodies, and it is easy to cause diabetes in adulthood.
Experts conducted a long-term follow-up study of 4763 children, and found that breastfed children grew up with lower blood pressure than those who grew up on milk powder. Despite factors such as the education level of mothers, socio-economic status and birth weight, experts still found that breastfed children were less likely to have high blood pressure.
