Your Underwire Bra May Be Hanging You Out to Dry

Good circulation is key to keeping our body’s transportation systems clean. When circulation is effective, blood is fully oxygenated and able to help the lymphatic system to remove harmful cells, toxins, and other unwanted materials in our tissues.

But when a hard wire digs into our very sensitive breast tissue, our blood does not circulate properly. Many lymph nodes live in the armpit area. The pressure of the wire is stopping the lymphatic flow, and fluid can back up, causing pain, sensitivity, and even cysts.

Eventually, any free-radicals we are exposed to are being trapped in our breasts because of the constant pressure of the wire, which stops the lymphatic system from doing it’s job!

What can you do about it? Here are several options:

• purchase bra’s with support without the wire.
  Hanes Hanes All-Over Comfort Wirefree Bra G601
• wear camisoles
• never sleep in your bra.
• wear tank tops with built in bras.
  Bella Ladies Camisole Top with Built-In Shelf Bra
• whenever you are in your home relaxing or cleaning cooking etc, change out of your bra.
• limit wire push up bras to evenings out and special events.
• a deep tissue massage once a month can help eliminate lots of lymph.

A study by Harvard researchers, published in the European Journal of Cancer in 1991, found bra-free women had a lower rate of breast cancer than women who wear bras. And a major study done by husband and wife medical anthropologists Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer, documented in their book, Dressed To Kill (Avery/Penguin Putnam, 1995; ISCD Press, 2005) shows a major link between bra wearing and breast cancer. Research to disprove this link has not been done, with the medical/cancer industry trying to ignore the bra issue. And many people comment on this issue without having read the original research, and call the link a myth and pseudoscience without having any scientific evidence to support their opposition to this vital information.

   Thanks! However I really can’t take too much credit for the design, it is one of many that you can get very cheaply from Elegant Themes I also used another of their themes on my fiancee’s guitar blog– That Guitar Blog. Hope that it helps you create beautiful blogs like mine.

   This is very untrue! What is this a made up story? Where are the facts from doctors?

   I am a survivor of breast cancer , never smoked , kept fit , never took drugs , have no family history of cancer, and hardly ever wore a bra before or after so I think a lot of the reasons why some of us get it have yet to be found this may be one of the factors but i am a little sceptical
