餵母乳不只對BB好！研究︰哺乳愈久，媽媽患心臟病風險愈低

?

　　媽媽們，需要另一個原因去考慮餵哺母乳嗎？大家都聽過對嬰兒帶來的好處了，但不止於對孩子的。

Mothers, do you need another reason to think about breastfeeding? Everyone's heard of the benefits for babies, but not just for children.

?

　　哺乳媽媽有較低風險患上產後抑鬱症，還有患乳癌及卵巢癌的機會亦較低。另外，也被認為有助媽媽們減重修身。

Breastfeeding mothers have lower risks of post-natal depression, and lower chances of breast and ovarian cancer.

　　新任媽媽不妨在這張清單上，加多一個好處吧…

The new mother might want to add one more advantage to this list...

　　一個新研究分析了300,000名中國女性，年齡介乎30至79歲，為期8年。發現哺乳媽媽在人生後期，患上心血管疾病的機會較低。結果指，她們（研究期間）患上心臟病及中風的風險，比沒有哺乳的媽媽會低10%。

A new study analysed 300,000 Chinese women between 30 and 79 years of age for an eight-year period. Breastfeeding mothers were found to be less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease in the post-life period.

　　結論是，哺乳愈久，患上心臟病的風險愈低。

The conclusion is that the longer the breastfeeding, the lower the risk of heart disease.

　　1985年已經有相關的研究，而20年後再找來這些參加者做檢查，測量頸動脈的厚度。這是動脈粥樣硬化的一個指標，它有機會引起心臟疾病及中風。

In 1985, there were related studies, and in 20 years, these attendees were called to check the thickness of the neck artery. This is a sign of artery porridge sclerosis, which has the potential to cause heart disease and stroke.

?

　　專家發現，哺乳越長時間，動脈硬化的風險越低。哺乳一個月或以下的媽媽，有17%出現動脈粥樣硬化，而餵哺10個月或更久的，就只有11%會有這個情況。

Specialists have found that the longer they breastfeed, the less risk of an arteries sclerosis. Seventeen percent of mothers who breastfeed for a month or less have an arteries sclerosis, while only 11 percent of mothers who feed for 10 months or more will do so.

?

　　研究並沒有解答為何哺乳可以降低媽媽患心臟病的原因，不過專家認為，懷孕對媽媽的心血管系統造成勞損，而哺乳就幫助媽媽回復心臟健康，到懷孕前的水平。

The study does not answer why breastfeeding can reduce the mother's heart disease, although experts believe that pregnancy causes damage to the mother's cardiovascular system and that breastfeeding helps the mother recover her heart to pre-pregnancy levels.

?

　　有機會改善心臟健康，都是給媽媽哺乳的另一個好原因呢。

The opportunity to improve the health of the heart is another good reason to breastfeed mom.
