Hormones play an important role in what you inherited - shape, size, elasticity. But more and more studies show that we can influence the situation and change it for the better. To the extent this does not apply, but to the health of the breast - certainly. Reduce the risk of developing various diseases by each, with a critical eye estimate the contents of the refrigerator, bar, cabinet, first aid kit and slightly adjust your lifestyle. These are the habits that experts consider key. Runs from the sofa to the fridge are not considered. And excuses about age too. Studies published in the British Medical Journal show that women older than 35 years of age with normal body weight gain more benefit from regular loads in the hall than young and green, with cubes of the press on a flat tummy. It's never too late to start ... swim, roll, do yoga and even dance. Any movement is welcome - physical activity reduces the level of estrogen (doctors consider it implicated in breast cancer).
Ideally, if 5 times a week to train 45-60 minutes. But even if you are a busy person and can allocate only half an hour to the sport, this also matters. Where to begin? Of course, from the store! Do not waste time, go for the shape and sneakers. Thinking about buying scales or not? Definitely yes! But not in order to reproach myself for eating a piece of pie with meat for the night, but to carefully monitor the weight. He is bound to health by strong bonds. Scientists warn: in full women after 40 years, the risk of getting problems with the breast is 2 times higher compared with those who have weight in the norm. Bad sign, if you have always been tight and slim, and then suddenly sharply recovered by 10 kg. It automatically enlists you in a risk group. So the scales will be absolutely superfluous in the house. The autumn months are not as rich in sunshine as your body would like, but winter ones, even more so. Fill the deficit of vitamin D can freshly squeezed orange juice, milk, sour cream, eggs, caviar or food additive. More and more researchers agree with the anti-cancer properties of this vitamin. At the meeting of the American Association of Oncologists, the latest data was released: in patients with breast cancer who lacked vitamin D, 94% more often diagnosed metastases than women with an adequate level of this vitamin. "I recommend taking 800-1,000 IU per day," says Andrew Konitz, professor of obstetrics and gynecology. At alcoholic drinks in scientific circles the reputation is spoiled.
Moreover, scientists can not come to a common denominator - they are useful or harmful. While some say that wine improves the work of the brain, others say it is involved in breast cancer. Whom to believe? New data from the National Cancer Institute (USA) show that women who drink 1 or 2 servings of alcohol a day raise the risk of breast cancer by 32%, and those who allow themselves more - by 51%. "Moderate intake" through the eyes of doctors is one serving, which equals 150 ml of wine, 350 ml of beer and 50 ml of sweet liqueur. Experts are advised to give preference to the young wine of fresh harvest. Resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant found in the grape skin, reduces the level of estrogen, which in turn reduces the risk of breast cancer. Strong among doctors is the urge to uncork the bottle only on the occasion of the celebration, but not every day. "Interruptions" with their filing arise not only after 40 years. Violate the fragile harmony can problems with the thyroid gland, adrenal glands and ovaries, sudden weight changes, stress, abortion, alcohol, cigarettes. All this in the first place "beats" on the chest. The closer you are to climax, the faster the ovaries die. Missing hormones doctors compensate for artificial - and this brings relief. However, there is one "but": long-term use of such drugs raises the chances of getting cancer - and new research shows that a high risk persists even a few years after you have finished taking the medication. Scientists continue to argue hotly about the contraceptive pills, which also contain hormones. But so far, no specific recommendations. If hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not enough, try to limit the period of their admission to 5 years. But if there is no urgent need, consider safer options - be it extracts, homeopathy, vaginal creams with estrogen. No one knows your breasts better than you. Do not ignore a single symptom and at least once a month conduct self-diagnosis. Let this is not the main method, but about 15% of malignant formations women notice and feel for themselves. Taking a shower, be sure to stay by the mirror to look at the bust with a look - are there any redness, swelling, tubercles, or entanglements. Pull your arms up and compare, whether both breasts rise symmetrically. In the room lie on your back, put your right hand behind your head. Use your left finger to probe each centimeter of the right breast (press slightly). Then just study the left.
Do not like bras? We know why: bones painfully dig into the body, shoulder straps leave red stripes, and cups put the chest on public display. In fact, it should not be so. A couple of minutes with a centimeter tape in your hands - and you can establish a good relationship between the breasts and underwear. For convenience, put on a bra that you feel comfortable with. Ask the seller or girlfriend to measure the girth under the chest. Attention: you need to measure it on exhalation - so that the tape is fairly tightly attached to the body. Then lay a centimeter on the most protruding part of the chest - it should be free to lie down and not squeeze it, and on the back is at the same height as the front. Get the girth of the chest. The size of the cup is determined by the difference between the girth of the chest and the girth under the breast. The table is shown below.
• Round the digit of the volume under the breast to the nearest multiple of 5. For example, if the size under the chest is 74, round to 75; if 81, then to 80. The result will be the second component of your bra size.
• Do not get hung up on the size. But completely rely on mathematical calculations is not necessary - this is not a guarantee that the thing will sit perfectly. Everything is decided by fitting. Therefore do not hesitate to ask the consultant for two adjacent sizes (in the direction of increase and decrease). Often the size that you "never wore" is sitting better than others.
• Look in the mirror. Put on a bra and raise your hands: if the breast "fell out", then the size is too small. Rises on the back? Consequently, the cups are too small or the straps are tightened tightly with the length regulator. Walk in front of the mirror, pay attention to the side parts - they do not crash into the body. If so, try on a neighboring size or model with a more rounded shape.
• Do not put up with discomfort. Take off your bra and look at your chest. If it left red stripes and dents, try on the size larger. Perfectly selected underwear does not leave any traces on the skin even after 10-12 hours.
• Choose slowly. A small chest seems bigger in the Push-Up bra. But there are nuances, if the laundry is picked up incorrectly. Pay attention to the "busts" with a dense cup and a bone resembling a wave. They collect the chest from the sides and under the arms, "pushing" it forward.
• Think about support. Lush breasts need support. The larger the size, the wider should be the shoulder straps (they distribute the weight of the chest well across the width of the shoulder, as a result, the back is not so tired when walking and sitting). If you prefer only narrow, the company "Triumph" has special transparent linings for them. They do not allow the fabric to crash into the skin.
