摘要

母乳喂养医学和生活方式医学以预防保健和整体护理为基础，强调早期干预，促进长期健康。露丝-劳伦斯博士是母乳喂养医学的先驱，她认为母乳喂养是预防保健的基石，倡导母乳喂养对母婴健康的深远影响。她的开创性著作《母乳喂养：她的开创性著作《母乳喂养：医疗行业指南》和她创办的《母乳喂养医学》杂志对母乳喂养领域的发展起到了重要作用，强调了母乳喂养在营养和社会心理方面的益处。母乳喂养提供了最佳营养、免疫保护和新陈代谢程序，降低了急性感染、慢性疾病以及产后抑郁和癌症等产妇疾病的风险。同样，生活方式医学侧重于可改变的因素--营养、体育锻炼、压力管理和睡眠卫生，以改善终生健康状况。这些领域的共同重点是肠道微生物组，这是决定免疫和代谢健康的关键因素。母乳喂养的婴儿肠道微生物群更加多样且有益，可降低肥胖和代谢紊乱的风险，这与生活方式医学提倡以植物为基础、富含纤维的饮食不谋而合。本综述探讨了母乳喂养与生活方式医学之间的相似之处，主张研究应超越孤立的营养素分析，而应考察母乳喂养母亲的整体饮食模式。哺乳期母亲的饮食会增强母乳中的生物活性成分，包括益生菌、益生菌和免疫因子，从而扩大母乳的预防作用。通过将劳伦斯博士的前瞻性原则与生活方式医学的见解相结合，母乳喂养医学可以加深对产妇营养和可改变的生活方式因素如何优化母亲和婴儿健康结果的理解，突出早期干预在塑造终生健康方面的变革潜力。

Convergence of Two Fields-Breastfeeding and Lifestyle Medicine: Integrating Early Nutrition and Wellness for Lifelong Outcomes: A Tribute to Dr. Ruth Lawrence, A Pioneer in Both Fields.

Breastfeeding medicine and lifestyle medicine are grounded in preventive health and holistic care, emphasizing early interventions that foster long-term wellness. Dr. Ruth Lawrence, a pioneer in breastfeeding medicine, recognized breastfeeding as a cornerstone of preventive care, advocating for its profound impact on maternal and infant health. Her seminal work, Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medical Profession, and her role in founding the journal Breastfeeding Medicine have been instrumental in shaping the field, emphasizing both the nutritional and psychosocial benefits of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition, immune protection, and metabolic programming, reducing the risk of acute infections, chronic diseases, and maternal conditions such as postpartum depression and cancer. Similarly, lifestyle medicine focuses on modifiable factors-nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and sleep hygiene-to improve lifelong health outcomes. These fields converge in their shared emphasis, for example, on the gut microbiome, a critical determinant of immune and metabolic health. Breastfed infants have more diverse and beneficial gut microbiota, which reduce the risk of obesity and metabolic disorders, a focus paralleled by lifestyle medicine's advocacy for plant-based, fiber-rich diets. This review explores the parallels between breastfeeding and lifestyle medicine, advocating for research that moves beyond isolated nutrient analysis to examining whole dietary patterns in breastfeeding mothers. Maternal diet during lactation enhances the bioactive components of breast milk, including prebiotics, probiotics, and immune factors, amplifying its preventive effects. By integrating Dr. Lawrence's forward-thinking principles with insights from lifestyle medicine, breastfeeding medicine can advance its understanding of how maternal nutrition and modifiable lifestyle factors optimize health outcomes for both mother and infant, underscoring the transformative potential of early interventions in shaping lifelong health.

期刊介绍： Breastfeeding Medicine provides unparalleled peer-reviewed research, protocols, and clinical applications to ensure optimal care for mother and infant. The Journal answers the growing demand for evidence-based research and explores the immediate and long-term outcomes of breastfeeding, including its epidemiologic, physiologic, and psychological benefits. It is the exclusive source of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine protocols. Breastfeeding Medicine coverage includes: Breastfeeding recommendations and protocols Health consequences of artificial feeding Physiology of lactation and biochemistry of breast milk Optimal nutrition for the breastfeeding mother Breastfeeding indications and contraindications Managing breastfeeding discomfort, pain, and other complications Breastfeeding the premature or sick infant Breastfeeding in the chronically ill mother Management of the breastfeeding mother on medication Infectious disease transmission through breast milk and breastfeeding The collection and storage of human milk and human milk banking Measuring the impact of being a “baby-friendly” hospital Cultural competence and cultural sensitivity International public health issues including social and economic issues.
