Breastfeeding benefits to the Mother 1
Posted in 2016

Breastfeeding is a wonderful gift for you as well as your baby. 

Release of Good Hormones 

Many mothers feel fulfillment and joy from the physical and emotional communion they experience with their child while nursing. These feelings are augmented by the release of hormones, such as:
  • Prolactin: Produces a peaceful, nurturing sensation that allows you to relax and focus on your child.
  • Oxytocin: Promotes a strong sense of love and attachment between the two of you. 
​These pleasant feelings may be one of the reasons so many women who have breastfed their first child choose to breastfeed the children who follow.

Health Benefits

Breastfeeding provides health benefits for mothers beyond emotional satisfaction. 

  • Mothers who breastfeed recover from childbirth more quickly and easily. The hormone oxytocin, released during breastfeeding, acts to return the uterus to its regular size more quickly and can reduce postpartum bleeding. 
  • Studies show that women who have breastfed experience reduced rates of breast and ovarian cancer later in life. 
  • Some studies have found that breastfeeding may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol. 
  • Exclusive breastfeeding delays the return of the mother’s menstrual period, which can help extend the time between pregnancies. (Note: Exclusive breastfeeding can provide a natural form of contraception if the mother’s menses have not returned, the baby is breastfeeding day and night, and the baby is less than six months old.)

Major vs. Trace Minerals Minerals that are considered vital to good health, fitness, and mental well-being are divided into two primary groups: major minerals and trace minerals. Major minerals are considered minerals that the body requires in relatively large amounts and include calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium, and sulfur. The human body requires major minerals in larger quantities and are considered macro-minerals. On the other hand, trace minerals are required by the human body in much lower quantities and are considered micro-minerals. Trace minerals include chromium, copper, iodine, fluorine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc. In both cases, consuming an adequate level of both the major and trace minerals is required for good health and wellness. For a more detailed discus...

Severe potassium deficiency can cause paralysis of the muscles or irregular heart rhythms that may lead to death. 7... Zinc deficiency ...
