Breast Health Points for you

1. Practice breast self massage as well as using the spa service. Touch your breasts gently and often using warmed oil, whilst in the shower or with your partner. The best choice in oil to use is Pomegranate Oil. If you cannot find a supplier for this, choose unrefined sesame oil. 

2. Exercise regularly using movements that involve the shoulders and build torso and upper arm strength. 

3. Wear comfortable, natural fibre (i.e. cotton) underwear. Bras that have under wires or those is strapless push the breast up and/or make red marks weaken supporting muscles and constrict lymph tissue and if worn regularly or for long periods will make the breasts sag and allow toxins to accumulate in your breast tissue. 

4. Use underarm deodorant that is free of aluminium salts or other compounds. Aluminium is a heavy metal that can enter the blood and lymph systems through the skin and severely challenge the immune system. 

5. Avoid hydrogenated fats like margarine and vegetable shortening. (Be aware that these products are in many store-bought crackers, cakes, and cookies – even health-store brands.) Use olive, peanut, sunflower, or sesame oils in cooking and butter or – better still – clarified butter (ghee) on bread. 

6. Eat a vegetarian diet with little or no saturated or mono-saturated fats, refined sugars, dairy products, meats, and caffeine and HIGH in whole grains (i.e. brown rice, oats, barley) , green and orange vegetables (i.e. carrots, squashes, kale, broccoli, cabbage, etc.). 

7. Eat soy-based products, such as soy milk, tofu, and tempeh. Just a little regularly helps block the tendency for breast tissues to bond with extra estrogens that can cause disruptions in healthy functioning of breast tissue. 

8. Choose to eat organically raised foods and use environmentally friendly cleaning products. Many synthetic chemicals (including what is found in fertilizers, pesticides. germicides) mimic hormones and cause physical and emotional havoc in body and mind. 

9. Use supplements such as vitamins E, C, and B-complex as well as minerals. Eat mineral-rich sea vegetables or take mineral supplements particularly when your stress level is high. 

10. Use hormone-free contraception. Avoid long-term use of the pill and synthetic hormone therapies when possible. A number of natural alternatives to hormone therapies are emerging on the market. 

11. Expose your breasts to sun and moon light. Remember how good it feels to experience the sun, sea, and air on the rest of your body. Find topless beaches or in the privacy of your back yard! Women go topless in the parks of Copenhagen. Could this ever happen in Central Park? 

12. Sleep in complete darkness. Your body gets deeper, more healing sleep in the dark of night.

13. Colour TVs, microwave ovens, and computer screens emit radiation that can damage tissue. How long are your breasts in front of our close to a computer or TV screen daily? Use shielded computer display terminals and try to keep a good distance between you and your TV. And, don’t stand right next to your microwave. (As regards cooking, you get more usable nutrition from using your oven or stove compared to a microwave.) 

14. Enjoy nurturing yourself. It is not self-indulgent or kinky to massage your breasts and/or pamper yourself with a massage or your favourite spa treatment. It is a needed survival skill. 

15. Have a good cry when you need one. Feelings of grief and loneliness, if unacknowledged and/or allowed to linger, are just as toxic as DDT. 

16. Send positive messages to your breasts. One patient who was recovering from breast cancer says before she leaves for work daily, “Come on girls. You’re safe with me.” Banish the views that are breasts are time bombs. Stride out in confidence. 

17. Adopt positive female role models. Have beautiful female images to look upon at home and at work. 

18. Be complimentary to yourself about what you like about your body and compliment others as well. Overcome the cultural stereotypes that imprison us and our view of others. According to Ayurveda, each body type has its own, unique beauty. Seek that out in yourself and become it. 

19. A noted spiritual teacher says that “Every atom vibrates with joy and is held together by love.” Love most of what you do in the day and see the humor in what you don’t. Put your heart into work and relationships. 

20. Sensuality and sexuality are not opposed to or the enemy of spirituality. Celebrate the sensuality of your body!

Have Firmer Breasts

Have Firmer Breasts

Most women are worried about fine lines, pimples and other such skin menaces. Another bothersome beauty culprit is sagging breasts.

But, there is nothing that can’t be dealt with! We list out a couple of ways in which you can keep your breast firm and look sexy…

CAUSES for SAGGING?

A combination of weight gain or sudden weight loss, pregnancy, and wearing the wrong bra can cause connective tissues in the breasts to break.

Most women who breast feed complain of sagging breasts. Therefore, you must wear a good maternity bra and regularly massage your girls with a good moisturizer after a bath.

THE RIGHT BRA

Choosing the right bra is more important than anything else. You must start wearing a good support bra as soon as you hit puberty and notice that your breasts are developing.

This keeps your breasts firm and in shape. During strenuous workouts make sure you wear a sports bra. Don’t hold back when it comes to splurging on a good bra...your girls will thank you for it!

SLATHER ON MOISTURISER

Use a good moisturizing cream to seal in the moisture and keep the breast skin supple. You can also try skin rejuvenating creams, which causes skin peeling making your breast look firmer and younger.

You can also try good Herbal oil massage once a day.

MASSAGE YOUR GIRLS

Take some Breast firming oil in your hands. Now massage the area around your breast while moving your hands in clockwise or anticlockwise motion. For best results, do the massage twice a day.

TONE IT UP

Exercises are really helpful to keep the pectoral muscles in shape and your breasts toned. The best exercise to strengthen your pectoral muscles is to do pushups. You could also try simple weight lifting routine under the guidance of a fitness trainer.

SELF-BREAST EXAMINATION

Do keep an eye on any changes that your breasts experience by examining them to check if there are any unusual lumps. Consult the doctor accordingly.
