18.Reduced Probability of Needing Glasses
Children who are breastfed have a decreased likelihood of requiring eyeglasses, according to an observation made in the outdoors. This is likely due to the presence of lutein, which aids in the development of your child’s eyes and neurons. There are additional factors in breastmilk that promote ocular health.
Many people are surprised to learn that the eyes are considered an element of the brain, according to at least some definitions. This is the sole ‘exposed’ portion of the brain.
We know that breast milk is extremely beneficial for a child’s brain development, and that it can significantly enhance neural plasticity (the formation of new neurons and their connections). Therefore, it stands to reason that this enhanced function will also affect the eyes.
