The fact that prolonged breastfeeding is beneficial for both the child and to nursing mothers, no doubt there have no one. But scientists still continue to investigate the properties and effects of breast milk. And they manage to do new and interesting conclusions. Recently there was information about another useful properties of breast milk. It turns out that those women who for a long period of breast-fed baby, significantly (by two thirds) reduces the risk of the likelihood of future   Alzheimer . According to the scientists who work in Cambridge University The longer the mother breast-feeds the baby, the less the chance in adulthood suffer from senile dementia .

As proof of this theory shows the results of a survey of 81 British mothers who were in the age group of 70 to 100 years. Among these women were like patients with Alzheimer And those who had relatively good health. Doctors compared the information on childbirth, breastfeeding   and the existence of dementia each female. It was found that those women who fed their infants had a 64% lower risk of developing Alzheimer Than mothers who chose to bottle-feeding. This woman practicing breastfeeding for one year or more, reduced the risk in such a way Alzheimer   78 per cent when compared with women who are not breast-fed for more than four months.

And British scientists at the University of Swansea   They argue that the decision on the duration of breastfeeding affects personality type. According to a survey 602 women who had children under one year of age, those mothers who considered themselves extroverts, and showed higher emotional stability, children fed with breast milk more frequently and for longer. At the same time young mothers-introverts, who often manifest anxiety, preferred short breastfeeding or even go straight to the artificial mixture. Scientists believe that these women need support and additional knowledge about the intricacies of breastfeeding.
