Benefits of Not Wearing a Bra
The majority of women wear bras. They do so
to look attractive, put-together and to seem appropriate. While there
is a time and a place to wear a bra, there are some unexpected benefits
to ditching your brassiere once in a while. Here are 8 ways your breasts
can improve by saying adieu to your trusty old bra.
1. Improve your breast shape
Not wearing a bra does not cause your breasts to sag. A long-running
French study proved that most bras have the opposite effect, causing
breasts to lose their shape over time. The study found that the support
of bras weakens the muscles in the chest, making them droop. In order to
keep your breasts round and perky, it's best to let them do their own
thing. Your bra is keeping you back from having more beautiful breasts.
2. Get a better night's sleep
For some time we have known that sleeping with a bra is not ideal. There
have been claims that sleeping with a bra is what causes breast cancer,
though this severe consequence is highly unlikely and has never been
proven true. However, it has been proven that wearing a bra to bed is
more likely to cause discomfort and disturb your sleep cycle.
3. Boost your circulation
Tight clothing can have an effect on bodily circulation. Frequently
wearing tight clothing, especially tight bras, can be bad for your
circulation. The tightness and squeezing around your chest can slow your
circulation by compressing your major blood vessels. This has been
proven to create cardiovascular issues down the road.
4. Improve your breast health
The study also proved that going bra-less improves perkiness. The study
also found that bras are not fatally bad for your health. This means
that they are not going to cause breast cancer all on their own. There
are many genetic and environmental factors at play when it comes to
that. But, not wearing a bra will improve your breast health in other
ways. Besides improving blood flow, sweat and dirt are no longer trapped
against the skin by your tight bra.
5. Save some money
Bras are expensive, especially the nice, comfortable and stylish ones.
So, no matter what amount of money you spend on a bra, consider it money
saved and money earned. This pocketed money can be spent on something
more important to you.
6. Strengthen your breasts
Bras prevent your chest from having to fight gravity. While you might
think that without your bra your breasts would succumb to gravity and
sag, quite the opposite happens when you ditch your bra. When your chest
has to battle gravity, the chest muscles work harder and strengthen
your breasts. This doesn't just make you stronger, it actually increases
your breast size. So, in saying bye to your bra, you could gain a whole
cup size.
7. Encourage healthy breast tissue
As a part of the 15-year study, scientists have found that wearing a bra
may be hindering your ability to grow healthy breast tissue. Healthy
breast tissue is important for many reasons as healthy tissue will
decrease, but not totally prevent, your chance for various breast
diseases, including breast cancer. Healthy breast tissue will also
support breasts more and help breast muscles strengthen, leading to
naturally larger, stronger, rounder and perkier breasts.
8. Comfort
This is likely the best reason to ditch your bra. There is no greater
feeling of relief than taking off your bra after a long day.
