 New Research Findings Vindicate our Call to demand Support to Women
We bring you an eye opener! The findings were announced in the journal
‘Obstetrics and Gynecology’ on Tuesday, 22nd April 2009.
Women who breastfeed their babies for more than a year in lifetime,
actually end up lowering their own risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Scientists have now found that women who breastfeed for more than a year are
10% less likely to develop heart conditions than those who did not.
Breastfeeding was also found to reduce the risk of high blood pressure by
12% and diabetes and high cholesterol by around 20%.
 This requires SUPPORT for WOMEN TO BREASTFEED SUCCESSFULLY


The story has been popular and appeared in many a international news( see
