To have a beautiful chest, damn the pawn of received ideas # 2

We were told… Small boobs never fall out (lucky ones).

Truth:This is false. Small and big tits are (almost) in the same boat. Nevertheless, small volumes have a bit of an advantage (for once!) in this fight against weightlessness. Lighter, they benefit above all from a composition that holds better:less fat and more glandular tissue. However, it is this "fibro-glandular block" that gives support to the breasts.

Putting it into practice:vegetables, steamed fish, cereals and fruit… Good food hygiene avoids sudden weight gain and, therefore, breasts with variable geometry. Especially at key times of hormonal turmoil:adolescence, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause.

We've been told… Exercise with two bras on.

The truth:80% of athletes do not know that there is a specific bra for the activity they practice. And yet... Designed to avoid the sloshing that distends the skin envelope and the suspensory ligaments, it is essential (no less). Because each stride (jump, skip) multiplies by 4 the weight of the breast. Let those who ride do not think they are safe:horseback riding is the sport that generates the strongest impacts for the chest.

Putting it into practice:choose the right sports bra:the larger the chest, the more the sport practiced generates strong impacts (jogging, aerobics, horse riding, etc.) and the more "serious" it must be, so that nothing move. Opt for an enveloping shape (racer back or bralette shape with wide straps), structured cutouts, and invisible or lined seams for comfort. There are specific reinforcements depending on the size of the breasts and the sport practiced:ask for advice when making your choice. Our favorites:at Anita (5527, 5523, and 5527 up to H cup) at shock absorber S246, B999, and S 490)

We were told… Making faces (in front of the mirror) makes boobs go up.

The truth:Bozo-the-clown was right. Grimaces that "pull" the skin of the neck, tone the platysma. A muscle that attaches to the mandible bone and descends to the bust. It is the only muscle that, when contracted, makes the chest rise.

Putting it into practice:just say “X’SSS” exaggeratedly while holding the “SSS” for 4 to 6 seconds. This forces the famous platysma to work hard.
