Although women have breastfed since the beginning of time, there is very little scientific research on how exercise affects breast milk.
Mar 14 2024Norwegian University of Science and Technology Can exercise cause breast milk to go sour? What happens to breast milk if you do high-intensity interval training? Will strenuous exercise affect your milk supply? Trine Moholdt, Researcher, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
"The primary aim of our research is to find out if we can limit the development of overweight in children," says Moholdt. "In fact, the period from conception to two years of age is considered the most critical period for possible development of obesity later in life," says Moholdt. This hormone regulates the body's metabolism to ensure a supply of energy and substances that the body needs to function.
"The hormone is secreted from fatty tissue and enters the bloodstream, and much of what is in the blood goes into the milk. We were not that surprised by the findings, but now we know for certain," says Moholdt.
