Recently, there has been a lot of debate regarding bras and the potential risk of sagging and brea’st cancer. Women are still confused and quite unsure whether br’as cause sagging or prevent sagging. These debate leave women confused about the way in which br’a affects their health.
First and foremost, most women, especially the ones with large-sized brea’sts need bras as supporting device for the brea’sts themselves. As a matter of fact, bustier women would suffer a lot issues without the support br’as provide, including discomfort and back pain.
However, not all types of br’a are beneficial. For instance, if you are keen on the latest styles, or the ones that make the brea’sts look bigger, as opposed to those that provide best support, you are likely to experience some serious health issues.
WHY IS WEARING A BR’A BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH?
According to a certain study, wearing br’a can cause brea’st cancer. This theory is supported by the body`s ability to self-cleanse of toxins and the comparison between women who did and women who didn’t wear br’as along with the corresponding breast cancer rates.
The same idea is supported by anthropologists Singer and Grismaijer, authors of the book Dressed to Kill: The Link between Brea’st Cancer and Br’as, who suggest that it is the compromised lymphatic flow caused by ill-fitting br’as which basically increase the risk of breast cancer. Over 4,000 women participated in this study.
Other findings the study revealed are the following:
women who wore their bra’s 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing brea’st cancer,
women who wore br’as more than 12 hour per day, but not to bed, had a 1 out of 7 risk,
women who wore their br’as less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 52 risk, and
women who wore br’as rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting brea’st cancer.
women who wore br’as more than 12 hour per day, but not to bed, had a 1 out of 7 risk,
women who wore their br’as less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 52 risk, and
women who wore br’as rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting brea’st cancer.
In addition, Singer and Grismaijer investigated the past br’a-wearing behavior of the subjects, which is crucial when it comes to disease that takes a lot of time to develop.
Furthermore, the idea that wearing a tight fitting bra can cut off lymph drainage is supported by many health experts and scientists. This lymph drainage can lead to development of breast cancer, due to the fact that the lymph function to eliminate all the toxins that enter your body on a daily basis is compromised. For instance, in case of impaired lymph drainage, you are likely to experience a dangerous source of toxins which can potentially accumulate, via the aluminum from antiperspirants.
According to a certain French study, bras aren’t necessary for women to wear and they put you in a risk of serious health implications. The study author, Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon, found that women who chose the br’aless option gained more natural support as their muscle tissue strengthened over time in comparison to women who stayed loyal to their br’as. The ones who stayed loyal to their br’as experienced weakening of the muscle tissue, which is potential contributing factor to sagging. The idea they pointed out was that the risk of bre’ast cancer was significantly increased in women who wore br’a more than 12 hours daily.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO REDUCE YOUR RISK?
In order to lower the risk of compromising your brea’st health, which depends on proper lymphatic drainage, it is important to consider couple of factors related to bras. In fact, the degree of blockage of lymphatic drainage heavily depends on the type of br’a, the length of time worn, and its tightness.
Taking into consideration the fact that most women choose their bras by the latest fashion, you can avoid some of the lymphatic drainage by wearing a br’a that is properly fitted rather than the latest trend. The best would be to start trying to go br’aless, but it may take you a while to adjust. Good way to avoid the uneasiness you might feel due to the showing off of your brea’sts, or the lack of breast support you have been used to, try wearing a tank with a built-up bra or a bandeau under the clothes.
Finally, it is of utmost importance to understand that your overall health depends on your own choices. Owing to the fact that avoiding your br’a and going br’aless can prevent bre’ast cancer, it is definitely worth giving it a try!
