If your answer is yes, please read on. Please also read: Are you wearing the wrong bra? Women have been taught once they reach puberty that they have to wear bras. Some experts say that wearing a bra does not have any effect on the breast as gravity will pull it down no matter how much it is supported. Other experts would say that if we are active in sports, it is necessary to wear a good bra to protect and support the breast tissue and ligaments from tears or injuries. In a way, it does make good sense and especially if you like to play contact sports such as football or hockey. Any sports that involve jumping such as badminton or basketball will also weaken the delicate breast tissues. You need to wear a good sports bra even more so if you have a cup size larger than a 28A.

Habitually, slouching or hunching over will cause the breast tissue to stretch and the ligaments to weaken which in turn make the breasts sag. So, please do remember to stand up straight or sit on a chair that has good support for your lower lumbar region. What are the side effects? Backpain. This happens when you are supporting your breast with your shoulders, instead of the lower back. Restricted breathing. This is when you wear a bra that is too tight at the band. Abrasions at the bustline. Again, the band is too tight. Breast pain. The cup size may be too small. Poor posture. We compensate the disproportionate weight distribution by bending forward and therefore develop a hunched posture. Suffering from back pain can bring a host of other ailments such as:- poor-posture-affecting-women-233x300 poor-posture-affecting-women-233x300 (Photo credit: Dreaming in the deep south) 1.
