FACTS

WHY DO WE GAIN WEIGHT?
  • Low Metabolism Rate -As we age, a decrease in our physical abilities leads to a decrease in our metabolic rate (amount of energy used in a given period), which in turn contributes to weight gain. On the other hand, a person's biology and metabolism differs to make some prone to gain a lot of weight and others more resistant.
  • Poor Blood Circulation - Blocked lymph nodes can lead to weight gain because our body is not able to drain toxin/water therefore it causes poor blood circulation and it will then eventually decrease our metabolism rate. Blocked lymph can also cause tumors that can lead to cancer.
  • Lack Of Exercise - Lacking of exercise can cause poor blood circulation. We need to perspire not only to stay cool or to lower our body temperature when we exercise but also detoxification. That is why for those who stay in the air-conditioned room the whole day then to have weight problems.
  • Crash Diet - Crash diet pile can make you put on weight easily and tend to gain twice the weight. This is because your body tend to keep fats and absorbs twice the amount whenever you eat. This is because our body does not know when you are going to eat again.
  • Food Intake - Too much calories intake, sweet & oily food & late night supper.
  • Emotions - Overeating can also be triggered by our emotions. Some people turn to food or alcohol in stressful situations, such as after a family argument or a particularly difficult day at work.Other vulnerable times may be when you're feeling tired, bored or sad.
  • Medical Condition / Medication - Some medical conditions can cause obesity, but these are rare. Prader-Willi syndrome, for example, is a genetic disorder that can result in obesity because people with the condition don't feel full (satiated) and overeat as a result. Some brain disorders can also cause obesity. However, these are extremely rare. Drugs that treat high blood pressure, inflammatory conditions (steroids) and mood disorders can contribute to weight gain by stimulating appetite or decreasing energy expenditure.

WHY IS IT SO EASY TO BOUNCE BACK AFTER WE LOOSE WEIGHT?
  • Poor Diet - Once you have lost weight, you will need to maintain a healthy diet for another year in order to maintain the weight you have lost. If you could not maintain a healthy diet and back to your normal eating habits, you will put on twice the weight.

WHY IS OUR BREAST GETTING SMALLER BY YEARS?

Do you find that your breast is getting smaller, sags and gets out of shape as you age? This is mainly due to improper wearing of bra. Trendy, lacy, push up bras these days does not give your breast the proper support. It only covers your nipple and it does not gives your breast the proper support it needs. Our breast will start to sag due to gravity and the fats from your breast will flow to the back of our body because we do not wear bra to sleep at night. In results, we tend to have smaller breast and thicker back.

DO YOU KNOW BY IMPROPER WEARING OF BRA WILL ALSO LEAD TO...

Breast Cancer
Bra-wearing has been linked to breast cancer. Do you know that women who wore a bra 24 hours a day had a 113-fold increase in breast cancer incidence compared to women who wore bra less than 12 hours daily! They suggest that under-wire bras exert enough pressure to the breast and surrounding areas to inhibit the flow of lymph, which then causes toxins and other waste material to remain in the breasts instead of being flushed out. Slowly the blocked lymph nodes will become tumor and could cause breast cancer.



The results of wearing under wire bra left marks indicating it blocked the lymph nodes of your breast that later results in breast cancer.

Now, this effect may be due to the fact that most women just wear the wrong size bra that is too tight somewhere. No one has done any studies investigating how well the bra fits and a possible link to breast cancer. Either way, for your breast health it is better to avoid wearing wired bras whenever possible, and on those occasions when you do need one, get a real well fitting one that is NOT tight anywhere.

Padded bra especially those molded bras are made of 7 types of chemicals. Just take a look at our sponge we use for dish washing. The sponge can only last 2 months however our bras can last us from a minimum of 3 - 5 years and it never gets out of shape. Our detergent these days are also consist of chemicals. If our padded bra are not washed properly, the chemical will stay put in the pads or sponge of our bra. When we perspire our skin pores will open. Because of poor oxygen circulation and polyester does not absorb sweat, the chemicals will then enter our pores and slowly it will then developed into breast cancer.



The results of wearing padded bra that can cause breast cancer.

Lets look back to 20 years ago, there are not many under wire or padded bra around. No of cases of breast cancer was very little but now it has increasingly alarming and now Breast Cancer is the world No.1 cause of death for women today.





Extra flesh jutting out next to our armpit
Improper wearing wrong bra cup size cause the extra flesh to jut out next to our armpit. It is very important to choose the correct cup size and try to avoid push up bra and bra with under wire. 98% of ladies today does not know how to buy the correct bra and cup size therefore many young lady today has problem with small breast. On top of that, without proper support and lifting (bra strap and band width), it will results in saggy breast as seen below.



The bra strap is not giving the breast the support. The cutting of the bra is not designed according to the human body contour therefore results in damaged bust shape and bust line. Overly tight bra also results is excess flesh exposed next to the armpit.


Extra flesh jutting out from our bra at the back
Bras with bad cutting can cause our breast to get out of shape and slowly our fats from our breast flows to our back. The bras you see today has narrow straps and band width which are not able to give your breast the proper support.



The bra band width is not wide enough and there's no strong pressure cutting therefore results in excess flesh pushed upwards and downwards. Overly tight bra also results is excess flesh exposed next to the armpit at the back.

Dark colored nipples
Do you know that padded bras can cause discoloration to your nipples. Look back into our mum or grandma's era. Their nipple are light colored and pinky. This is because the bra's back then are not padded and most of them are made of cotton. But today, 9 out of 10 bras in the market are padded and mostly made of mix polyester. Because it's padded and made of mix polyester material, our skin and nipples does not have proper oxygen circulation and it cause the discoloration of nipple.

Breast to get out of shape
Improper bra cup size, bad cutting and support can cause your breast to get out of shape. Many thinks that our breast suppose to be round but our natural breast shape should be perky (as seen on picture below). Many would think that our breast suppose to be round it's because of the design of the bras we wear today but we were wrong. You only look good with the bra on and not without the bra. So do you want to own a beautiful breast when you undress or the other way round?

Your bra get out of place
Your bras always get out of place especially when you put your hand up because most of the bras are not designed according to our body structure. Most of the bras today only look pretty and it's not functional and it does not gives your breast the proper support.

  • Lack of exercise - The buttock muscles are loose therefore it results in saggy buttock.
