Moreover, maternal fitness, specifically exercise, appears to boost levels of the metabolite in breast milk and so might benefit their offspring. This finding was published online by The

They also suggest that a single bout of maternal exercise may boost levels of the metabolite in breast milk and that may translate into benefits fo ....
