WHY FEMALES ARE FORECED TO WEAR A BRA?

Over 90% of females wear a bra, most without ever asking why. People just think it's the thing to do and don't question it. Since bra developed from corset, we could ask why did females wear corsets? If you study history books you will find the corset was invented to mold a female's body into a "supposedly" pleasing shape, as determined by FASHION INDUSTRY. Bra has been turned into a sexual garment in today's culture - its main purpose is to emphasize the sexual nature of breasts. In most cases bra is not for practicality. Bras exert enough pressure to the breast and surrounding areas to block/reduce the flow of lymph, which then lets toxins and other waste material to remain in the breasts instead of being flushed out.

Most people think that the pressure from bras (or from other tight clothes like jeans) is not a health hazard. The higher clothing pressures exerted by a conventional brassiere have a significant negative impact on the ANS [autonomic nervous system] activity. Wearing a bra likely decreased melatonin production and increased the core body temperature. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and hormone that promotes good sleep, fights aging, boosts immune system, and slows the growth of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer.

If you are currently wearing a bra while reading this, can you feel any discomfort and tightness from your bra? Most females are so used to wearing bra that the slight discomfort of bra is not noticed. But when you take your bra off, do you feel more relaxing? When you take off your tight jeans and change into nightdress, do you feel relaxed? Can you possibly even see little red marks on your skin after taking bra off or panty? If you answer yes to these questions, well, maybe your breasts are trying to tell you something.

Breasts were fine before the invention of brasserie. This is similar to the myth that females supposedly need corsets to support their stomach muscles. Also there is no proof that bras would prevent your breasts from sagging. Your breast is supported by ligaments, and if breasts ligaments act anything like other bodily ligaments, they may atrophy from the constant unnatural support from the bra.

Large-breasted females and so need a bra to support the weight of my breasts. That may or may not be so; one can experiment going without bra and see how it feels. One may remove the weight from their shoulders for a period of two weeks, either by going braless or by wearing a strapless bra. Long-term outcome was presence or absence of muscle pain and tenderness. One may remove breast weight from the shoulder permanently because it rendered them symptom free.

If you need a bra, find a bra that is not tight and without underwires or side panels. You could get it fitted right with professional fitter. Also try give your breasts as much 'free time' as possible. Take your bra off whenever you can, and at least do not wear it to sleep.

Morality is not really connected with the type of underwear you wear. What it is about the human female breast that is so immoral, obscene, or indecent. No one has ever been able to produce anatomical facts supporting the general concept that females's breasts are primarily for sex. The female breast is the most misunderstood part of the human anatomy.

The culture we live in affects us greatly and it is not easy to do things differently from most people. But at least you now know bra wearing is not necessarily helping your breast health. Try going brafree for a month, say, and see how better your breasts feel! It is an easy experiment to undertake, won't cost you anything, and shouldn't have any negative side effects (like drugs). Females who go bra-free report swelling before periods disappearing, no lumpiness, no hardness in breasts, no PAIN!
