Take Good Care Of Your Breast
January 20, 2009 by rainier
We have grooming and dressing standards within our society and bras, for women, are standard. Consider these alternatives:
*Take your bra off when you get home. Wear it for a maximum of 12 hours. You and your breasts, even larger ones, will get used to feeling free.
*Wear looser camisoles with or without a shelf-bra when a more casual look is more appropriate.
*Please sleep bra-less.
*Get yourself fitted properly. Generally women wear a bra with a band (the number) size too small and the cup too big, which is essentially a bra that is too small. A larger band will give your breasts, and your lungs, room to breathe. Locally, Nordstroms has a great bra department, with many sizes, however you may need to go to an online specialty store to find more of a selection of non-underwire bras.
*Save the underwire for when it counts, with your little black dress or your fabulous gown.
*Let your body move when your bra is off. Sagging breasts have more to do with genetics and tissue health than whether or not they are squished up in a bra. If you don’t believe me, have a lymphatic drainage breast treatment. These sessions move lymphatic fluid bringing health and resilience back into the tissue. You will probably note a visible difference in perkiness, texture, fullness and height after one session. (All technical terms)
*Use a natural crystal deodorant, available at Whole Foods and other health food stores. Why? Your body doesn’t need the perfumes and other ingredients in the mass market deodorants and anti-perspirants block the flow of perspiration. This is an important pathway for the body to remove waste and toxins. Do you want all of that squished back in your body? A natural deodorant may take some getting used to – and it is worth it, especially considering all the other challenges we have for breast health.
Breasts are a wonderful gift. They give women one of our super powers – breasts make milk! Let’s take good care of them, be gentle and be accepting.
