MAINTAINING HEALTHY BREASTS IS ESSENTIAL
1. Eat your way to good health
· Certain foods, like yellow/orange fruits and vegetables such as butternut squash, are packed with antioxidant beta-carotene which has been linked to lowered risk of breast cancer.
· Flax seeds, walnuts, cranberries and omega-3 fatty acids (found in oily fish, avocados and eggs) have also been linked to reduced risk of breast cancer.
· Eating foods high in magnesium can prevent breast swelling.
2. Check your bra size
· Wearing the wrong bra size can lead to poor posture, skin irritation, breathing difficulties, and irreversibly damaged breast ligaments, leading to breast pain and sagging.
· Make sure you get measured regularly as breast size can change frequently over your lifetime due to weight changes, pregnancy or menopause.
3. Get into the exercise habit
· Exercise at least four hours a week to lower estrogen levels and reduce risk of breast cancer.
· Improve the firmness, lift and shape of your breasts through push-ups and bench presses.
4. Wear a sports bra when exercising
· Exercising without adequate support can damage ligaments which can cause breasts to sag.
· A well-fitting sports bra, which is sturdier than your daily bra, can minimize breast movement.
5. Improve your posture
· Ensure your shoulders are not hunched, to avoid sagging of breasts over time.
· Walking with a straighter back will make you breasts look instantly bigger and more tight.
· Consider taking up an exercise that will improve your posture such as Yoga, Pilates or Tai Chi.
6. Check your breasts
· Check your breasts for signs of cancer each month by looking out for changes in size, shape and skin texture, as well as checking for discharge, rashes or lumps.
· Visit a reputable website or ask your doctor for tips on performing these necessary checks.
7. Apply sunscreen
· To prevent a wrinkly cleavage, help keep your décolletage smooth and taut, and prevent skin cancer, apply a minimum of SPF 15 sunscreen whenever your skin is exposed to the sun.
8. Get a natural lift
· By massaging a firming cream regularly, you can improve skin elasticity and tone up the area.
· It will help to prevent wrinkles and sagging and improve the overall appearance of your breasts.
9. Fake a perfect cleavage
· To cheat your way to a better cleavage, don your favourite bra then lightly dust some matte bronzer between your breasts, blending up and out to create the illusion of shadow.
· Finish with a lighter, shimmery powder across the top of your breasts and collar bones.
10. Quit smoking
· The rate of breast cancer amongst women who smoked is around 30% higher than others.
· So, stopping smoking now could help cut your risk of developing the illness.
11. Breast enhancement
· Its need is a personal choice, with unique reasons, and can be a transformational experience.
· The cosmetic surgery lasts for around 2 hours, and the patient can return home the same day.
· A small incision is made, often under the breast fold, and a pocket is created.
· A breast implant is then inserted, positioned and the incision is closed.
· Normal activities can begin within a week, with precautions for healing, while complete recovery takes between 4-6 weeks.
· Since implants remain inside the body for a long time, it is essential to choose quality-tested, safe and widely used USEDA approved implants.
