Breast care
Preventative Health
Breasts. Many of us blush even hearing the word, while many others shy away at the topic in general. It is not a dirty word, it does not only have sexual connotations. It is another part of your body, and as such, they too require preventative care and maintenance. For women, the breasts take a lot of abuse in their lives. From child birth to aging, swelling and bloating, to gravity itself.
The breasts are a declaration for many of womanhood and should in fact be treated with the utmost respect and care. This is just one of many reasons why monthly self breast examinations are far too important to ignore. These exam’s only take a couple of minutes to perform, and with the potential of early dedication of breast cancer, it doesn’t make sense not too. Breast cancer knows no gender, while it is much more common in women, still about 1 in 1000 men are diagnosed with Breast Cancer and around 440 men die from this disease each year. It may not be as prominent in men as found in women, but it is every bit as deadly.
Breast care isn’t always so serious. There is also the standards we all feel we need to live up to. For women, maintaining a “perky” look is crucial to giving her that youthful appearance. For men, bulked up pectoral’s is the goal in achieving masculinity. The correctly fitted bra to the proper work out regimen can achieve these goals and lead to long lasting results.
Whether you are in it for the look and shape of your body or in it to live a long and healthy life, neglecting your breast care may not just hurt your look’s it could cost you your life.
