Healthy Breasts

The following is for information purposes only.  Please contact your health care provider before using the instructions.

Skin Care: Because your breasts have no muscle, they rely on elasticity and muscle tone for proper support. Begin a skin care regime of cleansing, moisturizing, massaging and exfoliating the breast, neck and shoulder area. Exfoliate the skin of your breasts once a week. Use NUVELLA Shea Nut cream twice a day. Avoid products with alcohol as they can dry the skin. Massaging your breasts twice a day is an excellent way to maintain circulation and stimulate the energy flow in your breasts. Shower or bathe in warm water. Apply NUVELLA Shea Nut cream to your body when your skin is slightly damp and warm. Avoid hours of direct sunlight and the use of chemical products.

Exercise: The muscles of the chest, shoulders and neck provide support for the weight of your breasts.  Create a conscious effort to use your pectoral muscles in your daily routine and exercise class.   Try at least two of the below mentioned exercises a day.

#1

a. Hold your arms straight in front of you, at shoulder level.
b. Bring your hands slowly, towards your shoulders clenching your hands as though you are pulling something strenuously.
c. Repeat 20 times.

#2

• When you're driving and come to a stop light, press evenly into the sides of your steering wheel and feel your pectoral muscle contract. Repeat several times.

#3

• On all 4's, slowly lower your upper body to the floor as if you were drinking from a bowl. Keep your elbows close to the sides of your body and your palms flat, fingers facing forward. Lower only an inch at first and progress slowly. Lower to the floor slowly and push away slowly. Repeat several times.

#4

• Standing, extend the arms out in front of you and cross at the elbows keeping them slightly below shoulder level. Draw the elbows back and repeat the extension. Repeat this slowly alternating one arm on top and then the other. Do a few repetitions with your palms up and then down. Feel for the contraction across the front of your chest.

#5

• Using light hand held weights or a soup can in each hand, lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat, your elbows bent. Slowly press the weights or cans up to the ceiling and then across your chest. Repeat a few times and then rest.

#6

• On all 4's, support your weight with one arm and reach through under your chest with the other arm, palm up. Imagine that you are threading a needle as your arm reaches through. Try holding your arm up off the floor and envision fluffing up imaginary balloons. Repeat 10x's on each side and then stretch out the front of your chest by reaching behind you.

#7

• Standing, your feet apart, shift your weight from left to right as you swim the breast stroke. Really imagine that you are moving the water and feel resistance. Have fun with this exercise and move to your favorite song! Let your hips and torso move and sway to keep your spine relaxed.

Posture: A tall posture carries your breasts higher and provides greater support. You can actually improve the look of your breast by standing tall. Proper posture is very important. To improve your posture, imagine that you have an Indian feather attached to the back of your head and lengthen the back of your neck as you direct the feather up into the clouds. Let this energy draw you upward. Keep your belly relaxed, breath soft and your tail bone weighted, connected to the earth. When you sit, imagine the feather again. For large breasted women, imagine that you have another set of breasts on the back side of your body. Feel for a balanced front and back. Think up - not pushed out or forward.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that you wear a full support bra during the day and at night a bra that will not allow your breasts to hang on their own and supports them properly.  Don’t use cold water on your breasts as this will not allow the blood to flow to the area and will cause the breast to look its worse later.  At the time the cold water is used the breast will look very nice but it will do damage later on.  Incorporating nutritional supplements such as a good vitamin and mineral supplement and Vitamin C also helps a great deal.

Live in Light!
