Can Bras Cause Breast Cancer?
By Kum Martin
If you are selecting a bra just for the sake of a good look and outward show and not according to your body convenience, then you can be in a great danger. You can end up developing breast cancer. Many researches and studies proved that due to tight fitting bras the lymphatic vessels get compressed and poison accumulates in the breast tissue.
Breast cancer, in which tight and uncomfortable bras contributes a lot, develops mostly after the age of 40; and the most affected regions are Northern Europe and North America.
According to the World Health Organization, the constant pressure on the breast due to tight bras closes the vessels and lymph valves, and stopped them from flushing out the poisons that collect in the tissue of the breast and stop the passage of nutrients and oxygen. This is the main reason for the cancer.
The researchers have found that with the beginning of the menstruation cycle, estrogen levels increase in the body resulting in bulging of breasts. If a woman continues to wear the bra of same size, the lymphatic vessels will be squeezed.
However, breast cancer can be avoided to a certain extent by minimizing the time period of wearing the bra. Women are advised to take off their bras at night or day when they are at home. Those women who take off their bras during sleep have fewer chances of developing breast cancer. Even those who have developed lumps, cysts or tenderness can also cure the problem by taking off their bras during sleep. Massage breasts after taking off the bras and take deep breathe.
Observing the demand of bras, business for this is also booming. Avoid push-ups and sports bras. Instead opt for voluminous cotton bras.
