Women who breastfeed for 1 year the risk of developing breast cancer less than about 5% compared with never used her breasts.
The researchers said that although this difference may sound small, but the longer breastfeeding would reduce risk more.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, affecting more than 45,000 women each year and claimed over 1,000 lives each month.
An analysis by the Fund for the World Cancer Research shows that breast feeding for 1 year will reduce the likelihood of developing disease by 4.8%. This time a year is not necessarily continuous, which can be calculated by two breastfeeding mothers, each child in 6 months, the protective effect is similar.
And breast-feeding time more and more, the lower the risk.
The researchers explained that it was due to the lower lactation-related hormones in maternal blood cancer, and before the time of weaning, the body will liberate themselves from economic breast cell damage (which can turn into cancer in the future).
Breastfeeding also reduces the risk of cancer of the child while growing up, thanks to reduced risk of child obesity.
In addition, the child also naturally lowers the risk of uterine cancer and lower 1/4 probability of heart disease.
Despite such benefits, but only one quarter of women are aware of the ability to protect breastfeeding mothers.
