Stop wearing bras with metal underwire. These types of bras over time can decrease the function of NeuroLymphatic Reflexes which can affect the Liver, Gall Bladder, and stomach. On top of that underwire bras have been linked to Breast Cancer as you may or may not know.
The Angel Bra was designed from a medical-scientific standpoint to achieve perfect breast care, guiding proper breast development during the different stages of a woman's life, from puberty to senior maturity.
One of the unique features of the bra is its support band designed with the specific purpose of evenly distributing breast weight without adding pressure or irritating the skin. This prevents flaccidity. The support band, inner triangles and straps prevent breasts from drooping and becoming flacid.
In a regular bra, 100% of breast weight is supported by the shoulders. In the Angel Bra, only 25% of breast weight is supported by the shoulders, since 75% is absorbed by the bra's support system. Shoulder stress is released and it relaxes the back muscles. By releasing the load from the shoulders, muscles can relax avoiding muscle contracture and pain.
Unlike other bras on the market, this one is made to position the breasts between the second and the sixth or seventh rib, their ideal anatomic location. Moreover, it directs the bust forward and high enough to encourage blood to reach every inch of breast tissue to keep the breasts healthy and to help prevent cysts from forming. By promoting proper blood flow in the breast, the Angel Bra helps the lymph system drain excess fluids and consequently minimizes the possibilities of the formation of a cyst. By design it helps drain the lymph vessels (up to the ganglia) from toxins and breast residue, preventing them from entering the bloodstream.
The Angel Bra encompasses tissues, it's like a basic remodeling feature. It actually reshapes. Breasts are naturally shaped by Cooper ligaments. The bra's inner support triangles tense them in order to achieve their original semi-spherical shape once the bra is properly in place. It is important to note that there is an extension of the breast tissue towards the arm pit that should be tucked inside the triangle of the bra to avoid segmentation. This way, all of the breast tissue is inside the bra.
Another amazing feature is the built in ability to enhance or reduce volume. Breast volume increases by tucking all breast tissue inside the triangle of the bra. Breasts can also be reduced or perfectly evened
The Angel Bra has a prosthesis feature and provides post-surgical support. In the cases where unfortunately one or both breast had to be surgically removed, the bra helps the prothesis stay in place since it locks positioning avoiding motion or preventing them from falling. This also makes the Angel Bra ideal for post-surgical support allowing for faster healing.
What Women Should Know About Breast Cancer
»Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women.
»1 in 8 women may eventually develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.
»Every 30 seconds someone somewhere in the world is diagnosed with breast cancer as indicated by the World Health Organization (WHO).
»The possibility of dying from breast cancer is 1 out of 33.
»Each year 190,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer are recorded worldwide according to the American Cancer Society.
From relative obscurity, breast cancer has become one of the leading causes of deaths among women in the world. In 2001, about 200,000 cases of breast cancer have been reported in the United States, making it the second leading cause of cancer death in the US. It is, in fact, the most common malignancy problem that is affecting women in North America and Europe today.
But what is breast cancer and how do people get it?
Breast cancer occurs when malignant tumors in the breast grow and start to affect other tissues in the body. There is still no clear indications how tumors are created but what is often observed is that cancerous cells usually comes from ducts or glands.
Although womenç—´ health organizations advise women to massage the breast daily and to feel for any lumps, it may a long time before a cancerous cell get big enough for us to feel it. By that time, it may already be too late. Doctors make use of mammograms for their diagnosis.
Breast at risk
All women are actually at risk, with the risk increasing with the presence of some risk factors that are already part of the natural cycle, for example, aging. Family history of breast cancer can also significantly affect the prognosis as heredity has been found to play a role. Women who got their periods before they were 12 years old and those who never had or had children after 30 years old are also more likely to develop breast cancer.
There are also risk factors that medical science can help alter such as hormonal problems through replacement therapies. Women are also advised to decrease their consumption of alcoholic drinks, exercise every day and decrease the use of birth control pills. Breastfeeding has been found to decrease the risk of breast cancer development.
Although there are some factors that women can avoid to prevent breast cancer from developing, cause and effect relationships between these factors and breast cancer is still debatable. For women who are already at high risk, doctors often recommend a drug called Tamoxifen, which is known to decrease the risk by as much 50 percent when taken in five years. Still, like all medications, Tamoxifen has side effects such as hot flushes, vaginal discharges and sometimes even blood clots. Taking the drug can also lead to pulmonary emobolus, stroke and uterine cancer, although these are all isolated cases.
Another avenue that women can go to is Vitamin A, which some studies show to be effective in decreasing the risk. Still, research is still in the initial stages and nothing has been proven yet. Other things that are being linked to the breast cancer fight are phytoestrogens, which can be found in soya, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C.
But until something concrete is found in research, the only thing that women can do to ensure that they are safe from breast cancer is early detection. This can be done through daily self-examinations as well as annual check ups and mammogram tests. It is also important that women know the beginnings of breast cancer.
Here are some of the signs that they should watch out for.
- Lumps in the breast and in the underarms
- Scaling of the skin of the breast and of the nipple
- Redness in the skin of the breast and of the nipple
- Changes in the size of their breasts
- Discharges from the nipple
If these signs are observed, it is best to consult a specialist so that you can know whether you have breast cancer or not.
