How can you prevent stretch marks while losing weight?

Recently, an actress  shared a photo of herself on Instagram. People started body shaming her for her abdominal stretch marks. She responded by saying, "So for people who are very curious to know about what is wrong with my stomach... This is the natural stomach of a person who has lost more than 50 kg of weight. This is how it looks it is not photo-shopped or surgically corrected."

The stretch marks that come along with quick weight loss are totally undesirable. A person posted a query, “Why do you get stretch marks when you lose weight?”, to which a user responded, “Some people are more prone to stretch marks than others. When you lose or gain weight, when you exercise and lose inches and build muscles, the skin changes and loses elasticity. Especially if you do not pay attention to improving circulation in your skin.”

How to deal with stretch marks?

These stretch marks can get especially embarrassing for men and women when they are on spots that are visible to others. They have a different texture than our regular skin and look like discoloured streaks on our skin.

The most common locations for these stretch marks are breasts, abdomen, thighs, hips, and buttocks. 

Eat healthy and clean foods
First and foremost, eat nutritious and clean foods that are rich in zinc, Vitamin C as well as protein. The reason you need to focus on these nutrients are because they help in collagen production. 
Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its elasticity. So the more collagen your skin produces, the better it will fight against preventing the appearance of stretch marks.

Drink plenty of water
 When you are physically active, you should anyway be drinking lots of water. It is the best thing that you can do for your skin, as well as overall health. Good intake of water works on the health of your skin.

Exercise as well as stretch
 If you are losing weight just by monitoring your diet, it is advisable to exercise and stretch! Leading a healthy lifestyle, even if for 15-20 minutes a day, helps in improving circulation as well as skin elasticity. Not only that, it also tightens your skin and tones your muscles.

Moisturise your skin
Moisturise your skin regularly to avoid cracking as well as flaking. Our skin needs moisture to remain plump and hydrated, which will automatically make it difficult for the stretch marks to form.

Breast Cancer- early symptoms

Breast cancer usually starts as a small, painless lump(s) in the breasts, and will later metastasize into the rest of the body. Diagnosing breast cancer quickly increases the survival rate considerably. Breast cancer is mostly common in women over the age of 50, but it can appear in any woman of any age. It is also possible for men to contract, but these cases are very rare.

 

Abnormal lumps or swelling of the breasts

The most common symptoms of breast cancer are the appearance of lumps, swellings or endema. They may not be painful, but should be looked at by a doctor nonetheless.

 

Inflammation, lumps and dimples on the breasts

Visible changes such as inflammation, bumps or dimples on the breasts could be indicative of cancer. Even if you think that the symptoms are barely noticeable, don’t ignore them – if it truly is breast cancer, early discovery can save your life.

 

Nipples: change in location / inflammation / secretions

If the skin of your nipple changes texture or becomes brittle, if it becomes inflamed, swollen, its shape changes and its location does as well (flattening or sinking of the nipple), or secretions occur - these are all common indicators of breast cancer. If the symptoms don’t disappear after a while, consult with your physician.

 

Other symptoms:

Chronic pain in the breasts or armpits

Uneven, inflamed blood vessels

Swelling of the armpits or the collar bone

Sores on the breasts
