New study suggests breastfeeding may help prevent cognitive decline
Fox News
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that women over the age of 50 who had breastfed their babies performed better on cognitive tests compared to women who had never breastfed.
"While many studies have found that breastfeeding improves a child’s long-term health and well-being, our study is one of very few that has looked at the long-term health effects for women who had breastfed their babies," Molly Fox, the study’s author, said in a news release.
"Our findings, which show superior cognitive performance among women over 50 who had breastfed, suggest that breastfeeding may be ‘neuroprotective’ later in life," she added.
