Stop Excessive Drinking To Protect Your Breast Health


Medical experts recommend the following measures to best protect your breasts while maximizing your overall health:

Do not use underarm deodorant that contains aluminum salts or other compounds. Aluminum is a heavy metal that can enter the blood and lymph systems through the skin and severely challenge the immune system.

Eat a well-balanced diet - Include lots of fruits and vegetables, and keep your intake of fried foods, red meat, and junk food to a bare minimum. Prevent taking hydrogenated fats like margarine and vegetable shortening. (Be conscious of products that are in many store-bought crackers, cakes, and cookies - even health-store brands.) Cook with olive, peanut, sunflower, or sesame oils and butter or - better still - clarified butter (ghee) on bread.

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

Avoid excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages - Some studies indicate there may be a link between drinking alcohol and an increase risk for breast cancer. Occasional red / white wine is fine or rather it benefits your health.

Enjoy nurturing yourself. You need to massage your breasts and/or pamper yourself with a massage or your favorite spa treatment. It is a MUST survival skill.

Take in supplements such as vitamins E, C, and B-complex as well as minerals. When your stress level is high, eat mineral-rich sea vegetables or take mineral supplements.

Do exercises that involve the movements of your shoulders and build up your chest and upper arm strength regularly

Expose your breasts to sun and moonlight. It feels good to experience the sun, sea, and air on the rest of your body at topless beaches or in the privacy of your back yard!

Put on underwear that is comfortable, natural fiber (i.e. cotton). Wearing bras that have under wires or that are strapless will push the breast up and/or make red marks weaken supporting muscles and constrict lymph tissue. If they are worn often or for long periods will make the breasts sag and allow toxins to build up in your breast tissue.

The above information is found in Ms Yvonne Lee, internationally acclaimed book "To All Women Who Want To Enhance Their Breasts Naturally, But Don't Know How To Start". It describes and details the most important breast enhancement techniques from every corner of the world. Author Yvonne Lee, provides an unbiased pro-and-con analysis of each technique, in addition to practical information such as how and where to get it, cost, and potential impact on insurance coverage. The ebook version of the book is now available at:

The Ghost of the Silicone Implants Returns

No, not poltergeists: Breast implants filled with silicone gel.
For women who've had a bad experience with implants, that news may be little better than a visit from an angry apparition. There are women around the world who hold silicone breast implants responsible for their autoimmune disease or cancer. These women must be shaking their heads in amazement: Why are silicone implants available again?

The way this question is answered says a lot about the role you think the government should play in your healthcare. Is it the role of government to minimize all danger, or is it their role to make sure we are aware of dangers, and then leave the final decision to us, the individuals?
Silicone implants still aren't "safe," depending on how you define that word. Even the Mentor company, which manufactures saline and silicone implants, acknowledges that implants can cause some health complications. These may include "hardening of the area around the implant, breast pain, change in nipple sensation, implant rupture and the need for additional surgery," says spokesperson Melissa Vayra. And the FDA is on record saying that a woman getting breast implants needs to understand that there is a significant chance she will need additional breast implant surgery in the future. Ruptured implants can go undetected and silicone can migrate in the body, even into organs. This escaped silicone can form lumps, and some of it may be impossible to remove from the body.

Sounds nasty. But none of these side effects, in isolation, represent a grave threat to a woman's health. On the question of silicone implants' role in causing autoimmune disease or cancer, the prosthetic devices fare better: the large majority of studies and trials conducted since silicone implants were taken off the open market back in 1992 have failed to show a link between silicone implants and the development of these serious diseases. While it's impossible to say that they do not have some still-undetected part to play in ill health, to quote the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (SGKBCF), "the overwhelming body of evidence does not support the existence of a link between silicone breast implants and major diseases of the body..."
If you believe that the government's role in healthcare includes protecting us from ourselves, you may want silicone breast implants to remain off the market. According to the SGKBCF, only 20-percent of breast implants are related to medical need (for example, breast reconstruction). Multiple implant surgeries, pain, loss of sensation and migrating silicone may sound like a high price to pay for a fundamentally cosmetic procedure.

But the question is, do you - or the government - have the right to make that choice for women who are willing to pay the price? The substantiated hazards of silicone implants are well-documented; information on the risks is available. And many women, clearly, think the risks are worth it.

The Wonders of Strapless Bras

Strapless bras are one of the most dangerous bras you'll ever wear. Why is that, you say? Well, it's not because the underwire's any more likely to pop out and stab you in the side. It's not because they're made from cancer-causing materials (they're not!). It's because you just might die of embarrassment if you don't get the right fit.

One wrong move in an ill-fitting strapless--especially one with built-in padding--and you could have breasts down on your stomach. First it slides down an inch or so, making you uncomfortable. You can't adjust in public at the moment, so you squeeze your arms to your sides and hope no one can see what's happening. Then, what do you know, the bra's around your waist, leaving your assets uncovered and adding a few extra lumps to your midsection.
Why bother with a strapless, right? You can get the right fit. Then you can wear those halters, tanks, tube tops and strapless dresses with confidence and support.

Strapless bras can also be very versatile bras. If you buy a convertible bra, you can have strapless, two-straps, one strap, halter or criss-cross. A girl needs options! The straps are easily removable. You can even buy cute straps at department stores and lingerie boutiques to replace a boring set of white ones with if you think they may peak out.

Must Read for Breastfeeding Mothers

Breastfeeding mothers should watch their diets from the start of their pregnancy. Complex carbohydrates and whole-grain products, such as whole-wheat bread, brown rice, and oatmeal are beneficial. Take lots of fruits and vegetables as they provide vitamins A and C and minerals such as iron and magnesium.It is important to drink lots of water. Water improves digestion and absorption of food and nutrients. Taking at least eight glasses of water each day keep the mother hydrated and help prevent those painful leg and foot cramps that are extremely common during pregnancy.

Another point to note is that the more you nurse, the more milk you make. There is no need to give the breast a rest from nursing to produce more milk. A steady supply of milk is kept by expressing milk as regularly as you can. Breastfeeding mums should nurse at least nine to 10 times a day to ensure milk production.The main component in breast milk is medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), principally lauric acid. Lauric acid is also the main ingredient in coconut oil. The MCFAs in breast milk improve nutrient absorption for babies, aiding their digestion.The MCFAs also help regulate blood sugar levels and protect the baby from harmful microorganisms. These essential fatty acids are anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasite. Thus the MCFAs protect the baby from infectious diseases.

This is critical as the baby’s immune system is still under-developed.Adding coconut oil to baby formula has been proven to increase weight gain. Importantly, the weight gain is due to physical growth, not fat storage. The MCFAs in coconut oil help infants to absorb needed fats for their cells to carry out their functions. Nutrient absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, minerals and protein is improved in the process.The quality of human breast milk is influenced by the mother’s health and diet. It is important that the mother takes a diet rich in MCFAs. If not, the breast milk produced will not contain enough MCFAs.

As a result, the baby may be mal-nourished and become vulnerable to infectious disease.The foods rich in MCFAs include palm kernel oils and coconut oil. Pregnant women should take these oils from the beginning of their pregnancy to build up their store of MCFAs, in order to produce milk rich in MCFAs to provide maximum benefit to their babies.
