Any woman strives to be beautiful, attractive, young, fit and energetic for as long as possible. Elastic beautiful breasts are an indispensable attribute of female attractiveness. Unfortunately, even in fairly young women, the breasts often lose their shape and volume, despite their original size, and the skin becomes dry and often stretched. The woman becomes desperate and begins to think about the operation, but this is an expensive and unsafe procedure. There are effective techniques to help solve these problems. Every woman can make a difference with a comprehensive approach to breast health.
Causes of loss of elasticity of the bust
The mammary glands are surrounded by adipose tissue (creates breast volume), with the help of connective tissue they are attached to the pectoral muscles (support for the chest). Estrogen hormones stimulate the production of collagen and elastin proteins, which are responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin of the breast. The connective tissue is stretched, the synthesis of these proteins is reduced under the influence of various factors, as a result, the breast becomes flabby and may sink.
Top 6 Breast Aging Factors
- malnutrition (a large amount of fat, lack of calcium, vitamins and trace elements, reduced water regime)
- bad habits. Smoking reduces collagen synthesis by 40% and causes the formation of substances that destroy collagen and elastin.
- topless tan. The sun’s rays destroy collagen and elastin fibers, remove moisture, and dry out the skin.
- sudden weight loss or gain
- physical inactivity. Lack of physical activity leads to a loss of vitality of the whole organism, and in particular the chest.
- improper care of the bust or its absence.
How to restore bust elasticity and beauty
healthy eating
The condition of the female breast directly depends on the health of the whole organism. Therefore, proper nutrition is the basis of a breast restoration program. And you need to start with a competent water regime. Water is the basis for the health and normal functioning of cells. You need to drink a lot of water (30 ml per 1 kg of weight), no matter what different nutritionists say. Many books and articles have been written on the basics of proper nutrition, the main thing here is consistency and focus.
Let’s dwell on some products that are especially useful for the female breast, since they contain the hormones phytoestrogens:
- soy and other legumes (lentils, beans)
- cereals (rice, barley, wheat, etc.)
- vegetables, especially carrots, cabbage (all kinds) and celery
- fruits (apples, pomegranate, grapes)
- herbs – oregano, alfalfa, verbena, wild yam
- sunflower seeds, flaxseed
- ginger
It is also useful to regularly include dried apricots, bananas, olive oil, nuts, whole grain bread, seafood (shrimp, seaweed, mussels, squid) and natural fermented milk products in your diet. Do not forget about taking vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids.
Physical activity for breast reconstruction
Since the mammary gland itself does not contain muscle, it is impossible to increase its volume through exercise. However, every woman can improve posture, tighten the muscle corset and restore breast tone. As in any comprehensive program, consistency and regularity are important here. Giving training for 20-30 minutes a day, you can achieve significant results.
The most popular and effective exercises are:
- different types of push-ups – 2-3 sets of 10 times
- “Prayer” – while standing, fold your hands at your chest as in prayer, press hard with your palms on each other. 2 sets of 10 reps
- “breaststroke” – while standing, move your arms in front of you, as if swimming breaststroke
- “scissors” – while standing, make cross movements with outstretched arms
- “lock” – while standing, lock your hands in a lock on the back of your head, try to connect your elbows in front, and then behind. 2 sets of 10 reps
- “wall” – stand at arm’s length against the wall, rest your fists against it and press with all your might. 2 sets of 10 reps
- “circles” – make circular movements with your hands back and forth
- exercises with dumbbells – lying on your back, reduce and spread your arms with dumbbells of 1.5 kg. 15-20 times for 2 sets.
Remarkably strengthens, tightens the chest and improves posture swimming. Should be done 2-3 times a week.
Properly selected underwear
The right bra should fit in size, ideally support the chest, not squeeze it, not restrict movement. When wearing it, there should not be traces of the straps. Give preference to natural materials. For sports, purchase special underwear, as a regular bra during active movements does not sufficiently support the chest.
When choosing a bra, make sure that the protruding points are exactly in the middle between the shoulders and the waist. If they are higher – the chest is strongly squeezed, if lower – it is too heavy, the bra does not cope with its tasks.
Massage
Daily self-massage improves blood circulation and firms the breasts. To do this, place the center of the palm on the center of the chest, while exhaling, press on the chest, while inhaling, release. In total, you need to do 10 such breathing cycles.
A good effect is achieved by breast massage with ice cubes. It can be frozen ordinary or mineral water, a decoction of herbs (oak bark, linden, chamomile), green tea or citrus juice.
Water procedures
No breast restoration program is complete without a contrast shower or compresses. Cold water improves blood circulation, gives the skin elasticity, restores the chest. These procedures must be carried out 2 times a day.
Irrigation is a great way to restore breast elasticity and beauty. To do this, pour cold water into the spray bottle and irrigate the chest with it 2 times a day. Essential oils (rosemary, lemon, rosewood) can be added to the water.
Baths with sea salt are also quite effective and have a beneficial effect on the entire body.
