My areas of Interests:

of Breastfeeding for Mother and Baby

„The topic that I have chosen for the competition within the framework of the project "Journalism and Science Project in North Africa and the Middle East" was not by chance. The importance of breastfeeding in the life of the child and the mother has always been evident in human history. Scientific research has revealed the main benefits of breastfeeding: It protects the mother from breast cancer, as well as from some viruses and osteoporosis. The child also benefits greatly: breast milk protects him/her from many diseases and viruses, strengthens his/her immune system, and strengthens his/her teeth and bones.”
