Increase breast volume: a recent research opens new frontiers

The news comes from well-known clothing brand Marks & Spencer, which has conducted a detailed study on the breasts of European women. From this study it was concluded that the biggest breasts in Europe are those of British women, who each year grow dramatically.

Starting with the chemicals contained in cosmetic products, and more in lipstick, it comes to recruitment of estrogen (such as women in menopause) that affects much on the increase in breast.

Dr Marilyn Glenville, registered nutritionist at the Royal Society of Medicine, explains fact that most women during the menopause are forced to make a hormone replacement therapy, thus experiencing a strong growth of the breast. It must be said, explain the scholars, which even our daily habits affect a lot about this phenomenon. Excessive intake of alcohol, and more’s obesity are the factors of greatest importance, but also the profound changes acquired by women, for example, to have fewer children, which changes the appearance of hormones, especially the tendency to develop faster.
The director of the Pediatric Clinic Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Professor Giuseppe Chiumello, confirms all the studies conducted by researchers. The tissue that forms the female breast, he explains, contains cells that contain estrogen receptors, so it’s absolutely true that by taking food or by making therapy based on estrogen, can increase the volume of the breast and this was verified also in men, that forced for various causes or diseases, to take estrogen, they found a greater volume of the chest.

Of great importance, explains Prof. Cumiello, is also the early development of girls, this would lead to increased exposure to estrogen, it should also be very cautious with regard to ‘alcohol intake but this will increase the volume of the breast but only with the increase in adipose tissue.
