Breasts have a great importance in a woman’s life as it not only enhances her beauty but is also instrumental in taking care of her baby and its feeding. In today’s time, the cases of breast cancer are on a rise at a very high rate but women can save themselves by paying attention to these 8 things:

1. The sports bra:

You need to keep in mind that the bra which you wear in the routine life is not the one which you should wear while exercising or playing any sports. For fitness and sports activities, you need to wear sports bra and you will have the option of choosing from low, medium and high impact bras depending upon the sports that you play. In simple words, you will need different bras for different sports and if you are not sure which one to choose, don’t be hesitant in asking the shopkeeper. Also buy a new sports bra if the existing one has already been washed around 40 times.

2. Piercing the nipples:

Piercing the body at various places has become a trend nowadays and some girls like to get their nipples pierced as well. But this is something which should be avoided at all costs because fashion or trend is not more important than health. It will be very harmful if the girl has allergy problems in regard to iron. It can also pose problems in milk production when a woman has to feed her baby and may result in swelling, pain and creation of abscess.

3. Providing moisturization to breasts:

We may have seen woman worried about moisturizing their skin, face, arms and legs but they completely forget about their breasts. Don’t forget that breasts are very sensitive and they need care on a daily basis. The skin of breasts is very thin and it may produce flakes if not moisturized. What makes it more worrisome is that breasts may become saggy if their elasticity is adversely affected due to the lack of moisturization. So make it a point to use proper cream and lotions for your breasts.

5. Removing the hair:

It is kind of obvious that every woman will like to remove hair around the nipples.
