Breastfeeding Linked with Lower Risk of Alzheimer's Disease

Mothers who breastfeed their babies have lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, reported a study from University of Cambridge.

Breastfeeding helps the baby get all the required nutrients for a healthy body. However, previous research has shown that breastfeeding helps women strengthen the bond between herself and the baby, protects her from certain cancers and also lowers risk of obesity and heart disease.

The latest study shows that breastfeeding can lower risk of Alzheimer's disease in women.
