   MOTHER’S MILK KEEP CHILDREN FROM GETTING FAT

   The Institute of children and youth medicine by Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Germany, has made a survey about the connection between nursing fat children. The survey extends to 134000 German 6 year olds.
   Children who have never been given mother’s natural breast - milk are 5 to 6 times more exposed to developing obesity, than children who have been nursed by the mother the first year of their life. Obesity is a much bigger problem in northwestern Europe than starvation, it’s said in the report made after the survey. It leads to increased danger of a number of diseases and is also mentally devastating. The conclusion in the survey is clear: The longer the baby are naturally nursed, (to the period of 12 to 18 months), the healthier it becomes, and is running the least risk of turning overweight later in life.
