Having a well-filled breast is almost every woman's dream. In a society like ours where having big breasts is adored and given such emphasis, it is not surprising that every flat-chested woman desires to be well-endowed. Various breast enhancement products have come to
forefront that promise to give fuller breasts. But there's no proof that they really work. "If these estrogens were powerful enough to be effective,
creams wouldn't be available over
counters," notes Seth Matarasso, M.D., an associate clinical professor of dermatology at
University of California, San Francisco. "No pill can safely increase your breast size," says Kelly Shanahan, ob/gyn and author of "Your Over-35 Week-by-Week Pregnancy Guide". While nothing short of surgery will make your boobs look like that of Pamela Anderson's, there are less invasive options that can make a difference. Here's
ultimate guide to beautiful breasts at any age.1. Exercise
Okay, so exercise won't add inches to your breasts. Breasts are largely fatty tissue and there's no exercise to grow fat. But exercise can make your breasts sit higher and more even on your chest because it builds up pectoral muscles directly below
breasts. This pushes
breasts outward giving them
appearance of being a bit larger. If you strengthen your back muscles, you can also improve your posture and make your chest look a hundred times better. Try to do
following exercise everyday to increase your breast size naturally and to firm them up:
a. The Push-ups: This will help keep your chest muscles firm and toned. To do this, put your hands and knees on
floor with your back flat. Align your hands with your bust. Bend your arms and lower yourself until your chest almost touches
floor. Then push yourself back up to
starting position. Hold this pose for a few seconds and then bend your arms again bringing your torso down a few inches to
floor. Repeat this ten times. On
second week, perform two full sets of ten repetitions. And on
third week thereafter, do three full sets every other day.
b. Modified Push-ups This is akin to
push-ups mentioned earlier. The only difference is that instead of
hands and knees on
floor,
lower arms,
elbows and toes are placed against
floor. The torso is raised up but your lower arms and elbows and toes are kept on
floor.
c. The back extension Back extensions strengthen your upper and lower back muscles, thus improving posture. To do this, after each set of push-ups, lie facedown on
floor, lift one arm and
opposing leg a few inches straight in
air simultaneously, and hold on for a count of ten. Do
move twice on each side.
d. Bench Press: This is
best exercise for shaping and firming your bust line because aside from shaping and firming
bust line, it also sculpts
shoulders and tightens
triceps. To perform this exercise, lie flat on a bench, with one foot on each side of
bench touching
floor. Firmly press your head, shoulders, back and butt on
bench while sticking up your chest. Keep
dumbbells about 18-20 inches apart and parallel to
floor with your palms facing upwards. Slowly push
dumbbells straight up, away from your chest. Fully extend your arms but don't lock your elbows when arms are fully extended. The dumbbells should now be approximately a few feet above your chest. Pause slightly at
top of
movement then slowly lower
dumbbells back down to
starting position. Inhale and hold your breath as you lower
dumbbells. When they reach
chest, begin to move
weight upward again. Exhale as you pass
point of greatest resistance. Repeat this 8 to 12 times to complete one set. You can perform about 1 to 3 sets at a session and about 3 sessions per week with a day's rest between sessions.
