Not only for producing milk in feeding new born babies, although itss use is enormous in that aspect, its advantage during sexual activities and the role it plays in the attractiveness of a woman cannot be overemphasised. Breast, a soft (rounded) protruding organ on the upper front of a woman’s body, is no doubt an important part of her anatomy,
Men have theirs too, but not (always) sizeable as those of women, and many men lust after these organs, some skip their breaths at the sight, lose concentration or loose focus on sighting them, and for many, the bigger, the better.It catches men attention easily no doubt, but it also delights the owners; making the women who have them feel good and sometimes enhance their comparative advantage. And suffice it to say that it aptly qualifies as one of the most cherished (by women) and most loved (by men) parts of the female body. Such is its importance to both sexes.
Even though for many women, breasts could be an asset or burden, as big breasts have been found to possibly affect the posture and cause chronic back pain, in spite of this, many women still crave it now than ever before.
However, it is not uncommon these days to see that women, including young girls, are becoming increasingly endowed in that region. In fact, in those days, girls used to wear vest until they approached 18 but now, bras have taken the centre stage, not just for decoration but because there is indeed something to cover, which underscores the fact that girls and women are getting bigger in that region.
Many have attributed women’s bust increase to the fact that many more women are going under the knife for breast enlargement, which has made it difficult to know which one is natural or artificial, but far from that, lifestyle and diet have been found to play a major role in bust size.
This is independent of heredity and the fact that women experience some natural variation in their breast size usually during their period (menstruation) and pregnancy period (pre and post).
An emeritus surgeon, Prof. Michael Baum, an expert in breast cancer said, a good reason why more women are getting increased bust size is increased in fat consumption, but a nutritionist, Jane Clarke explained that eating wrong food and the calories consume by people end up on the hips and breasts coupled with the fact that more women are now taking too much of alcohol which is highly calorific.
Another nutritionist, Dr. Marilyn Glenville also said, apart from fat, increase in the breast tissue levels has also been responsible for the increase in breast size. “So, we have to look at what stimulates breast tissue growth, and that is oestrogen, the female sex hormone. Oestrogen is what changes our body shape during puberty.”
She further explained that there is a strong link between increased oestrogen levels and bigger breasts, also, there are some breast-enhancing supplements that have made their way into some of the food people consume, making such food items have oestrogenic properties, which have impacted on their breast size. She argued further that a large chunk of the milk consumed by humans come from pregnant cows, thus the milk would be flooded with oestrogen.
“Girls today reach puberty earlier than ever before, and are going on to have fewer ¬children and breastfeeding for less time. As a result, we have far more periods than our ancestors would have had and we are exposed to more monthly surges of oestrogen, which stimulates ovulation and is also responsible for the increasing breast sizes.”
A previous study, led by Dr. Karin Michels, from Harvard Medical School, explained that nowadays young girls are reaching puberty at an earlier age because of consumption of sugary drinks. Thus, when these girls reach puberty, they begin to show the signs, evident in their breasts and butts.
Michels said, “Our study adds to increasing concern about the widespread consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks among children and adolescents. Our study suggests that age of first menstruation (menarche) occurred earlier among girls with the highest consumption of drinks sweetened with added sugar. These findings are important in the context of earlier puberty onset among girls.”
According to Glenville’s explanation, the fact that more girls reach puberty exposes them to more oestrogen from their young age, which tends to have its own effect on their anatomy, especially their breasts.
The use of contraceptive pills is another explanation given by experts for increase in women breasts. In softpedia.com report, a consultant endocrinologist, Prof. Pierre-Marc Bouloux, was quoted as saying, “There is a tendency for the pill to stimulate breast growth. However, modern versions of the pill contain far less estrogen than their older counterparts.”
Bouloux explained that some products come as consumable items, like some chewing gum, but which have some oestrogenic properties that could enhance breast size, also that some chemicals in polluted water and industrial wastes could mimic oestrogen and produce the same boob-boosting factor in the women.
In the words of Dr. Joanna Scurr ,on the other hand, a breast biomechanics expert and principal lecturer in biomechanics at the University of Portsmouth, breast sizes are increasing because of the higher proportion of fats in them, adding that junk food, tinned food, canned drinks, and plastic bottles could also be responsible, due to the xenoestrogen.
So, increase in boobs sizes in recent times could be blamed on increased fat consumption by women, rising levels of breast tissue, eating junks and fatty meals, drinking sugary drinks and use of contraceptive pills, more so because breast tissue has been found to be extremely sensitive to hormones. These are independent of hereditary, menstruation and pregnancy/breastfeeding.
A medical practitioner, Dr. Rotimi Adesanya gave a comment on this,he explained that apart from increase in fat diets, use of family planning drugs are some of the things responsible for the increasing breast sizes.
He said, “The increase is due to increase in fats because breast is made of fatty tissues. So, if the fat is much in the body, definitely, the one in the breast will be much as well. So, the level of fat a person eats is an indirect proportion of the person’s breasts size. For some, it runs in the family, and for people that tend to be obese or big in size, they also tend to have a large breast."
“Also, use of hormonal drugs, such as contraceptive pills, could increase breast size. Diet is also a very important factor. The fatty diets include sugary drinks, margarines, etc., and too much of oil is not very good, and that is why we advise people to take more of fruits and vegetables.”
