By avoiding some everyday habits, you can do your part in keeping breasts young-looking for as long as possible.
- Wearing a bra that doesn’t fit
This habit is more common that one would think. Most bras are made of flexible materials, and over time with normal wear, they will eventually stretch out. But
the bra’s primary purpose is to give support. Wearing an ill-fitting
bra can contribute to breast sagging as the more your breast bounce
around, the more stressed breast skin and collagen become. You need to
figure out what your bra size is, so that the cups adequately hold your
breasts. About 80% of women are wearing a bra that is not their perfect
fit, so make sure you get measured, which can be easily done in a
lingerie shop.
- Smoking
Smoking makes the skin lose its natural
elasticity, which causes the breasts to drop. It reduces the amount of
collagen in the skin and worsens the blood circulation. This makes the
skin become weaker and age faster.
Smoking causes a lot of other health
issues and you can see for yourself what happens to your lungs if you
smoke only 60 cigarettes. If you are a smoker, then I have 5 natural
ways to help you quit smoking – they are all scientifically proven.
- Crash dieting
Having a balanced diet is very important
to the health of your breasts. Yo-yo dieting that makes you lose vast
amounts of weight quickly, only to put it back on later, puts a strain
on your skin tissue. Repeatedly losing and gaining weight has been shown
to make your breasts drop. The skin tissue stretches to accommodate the
weight gain, but it can’t indefinitely snap back into place when the
weight comes back off again. So try to maintain a steady weight or a
proper nutrition in a healthy, sustainable way.
- Not protecting yourself from the sun
Breasts, and cleavage in particular, can
get burnt easily and they absorb their share of the sun’s UV rays. This
can damage the skin, make it wrinkle and age prematurely. Protect
yourself from the sun and don’t over-expose your skin. Also, sunscreens
are not the magic solution and I have written before about thepotential
chemical dangers that lure in some sunscreens, especially the
high-factor ones.
- Not exercising and adopting bad posture
It’s important to exercise and keep your
chest muscles strong. However, some back-and-forth repetitive motions
(like in running) can make your breasts go saggy, as they breakdown
breast collagen. Make sure you support your breasts during a high-impact
exercise session and pay attention to your posture throughout the day.
Walk straight and make your breasts stand up proudly
