Tips for Breast Health (Breast Health Diet)
 |
Eat less animal fat. Eat more oily fish and
use extra virgin olive oil instead of standard cooking oils. |
|
Top up your diet with an antioxidant
supplement, including vitamins C, E, beta-carotene and the mineral
selenium. Also eat plenty of antioxidant-rich fresh fruits and
vegetables, especially onions, garlic, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli,
cabbage and cauliflower. |
|
Eat more fibre, especially oats, rye, millet,
brown rice and beans. Fibre helps to move food through the gut and
may reduce the re-absorption of oestrogen. |
|
Limit alcohol - it can cause an increase in
oestrogen levels. |
|
Cut back on coffee, cola, chocolate and strong
tea. |
|
Increase your protein intake. Protein is
needed to build and keep muscles tone and firm. Protein also
provides much-needed Collagen. Three to four meals a day that
consist of protein is recommend. |
Another thing that is important to avoid 'drooping' or 'sagging'
breasts is wearing a good supportive bra, especially during pregnancy
and exercise.
Selection of a proper Bra
How to choose a
Bra
When choosing a bra for heavy
breasts, make sure it has flat well-padded under cup wiring and wide
elasticized straps that gives support to the centers of the breasts.
Small breasts can be enhanced with the help of highly padded bras. Now
the question is will the breasts sag, if you do not wear a bra? The
sagging is due to slackening of the supporting muscles, and is more
possible if the breasts are heavy. Wearing a well-fitting bra will delay
sagging for little while. Always wear a good supporting bra during
exercises, running, jogging and pregnancy. Exercising neither reduces
the size of heavy breasts, nor do helps increase its size. Swimming is
an excellent exercise for the bust shape and it strengthens the muscles.
This is reason by swimmers have wonderfully shaped bust line.
During pregnancy and the period of breast-feeding, the breasts become
larger and elastic fibres in the skin tear, showing red irregular marks
on the skin surface. By regular massage with a moisturizing cream the
elasticity of the skin is increased and the breast skin becomes soft and
supple. Remember to remove bras at night. An underdeveloped breast is a
matter of great concern for women, but massaging with a nourishing cream
is the only remedy.
Choosing A Good Sports Bra
It is really important to wear a good sports bra when exercising
regardless of the size of your bust. It will help to reduce breast pain
and minimise 'sagging' in the future! But many women don't know how to
choose the right style or size. Here are our tips for finding the right
sports bra.
|
Make sure that the bra
is specially designed for sports use. Most bras are not designed for
the increased movement during exercise. If you want to use a
non-sports bra you already own, make sure it has a 'firm support'. |
|
Measure your size
properly. Most of the women wear wrong size bras. |
|
Check the bra strap. It
should be firm but comfortable. If it is too loose the bra won't
stay put, but too tight and it will be hard to breathe. |
|
Check that the cups are
the right size. If there is any bulging the cup size is too small,
if the cups wrinkle the cup is too big. It is important to get the
right cup size. |
Supporting Your Breasts
Breasts have no muscles of their own and are only held up by the
pectoral muscles—the muscles of the chest on which they lie. Extra
support can be given by wearing a good bra. Most of the support that
well-fitting bra gives to the breast should come from beneath and not
from the straps. You can check this by slipping off the straps to see if
the bra will stay in place without them. The back piece and the sides of
a good bra should be in level with the front.
How to measure the Bra Cups
If the bra cups are creased all over,
then they are too big for your breast size. To find out the correct size
of the bra cup, first measure around your rib cage under your breasts.
Then measure around the fullest part of your bosom at the level of the
nipple. The difference between the two measurements will give you the
cup size.
