It surely sounds different. But we have to consider the fact that last 80 years have reported increased number of Breast cancer cases in view of increased usage of Bras.

Following points need our attention:

1. There is an increased temperature around the breast due to regular usage of bras.

2. The blood circulation is restricted. It affects the draining of toxins and lymph flow in the breast.( The American Cancer Society suggests that you exercise for 45 to 60 minutes 5 or more days a week. Exercise improve blood circulation)

3. Bras do not prevent sagging. It makes sagging worst. Ligaments which support the breast get weaker due to regular usage of bras. Without bras, the ligaments get strong enough to become perkier – naturally.

4. Thin straps of the bras are the basic reasons to cause back and shoulder pain. Bra-free can make out the improvement.

5. Large breasted women may experience less pain in the breast if they go without bras for a period of time.

Going ‘Bra free’ could be like reclaiming your right to feel the best and healthiest for your body since you have the right to dress and groom your bodies – most comfortable.

Would you love to take a cruise but you’re worried sick about getting seasick? Cruising is a wonderful way to travel, and you shouldn’t deny yourself a fabulous cruise because of a ‘what if?’. With a little information and preparation, you should be able to have a wonderful cruise experience.

Basically, seasickness is caused by an inner ear imbalance. Remember spinning yourself until you were dizzy when you were a little kid? Seasickness is the result of the same kind of sensitivity to motion. Dizziness, headache, nausea and ultimately vomiting are the most common symptoms.

Most people can manage their discomfort with a little help from natural and medical sources. There are a few general rules, though. Prevention is nine tenths of the cure, so here are a few tips to make your time aboard more comfortable.

1. Avoid greasy and spicy foods. Eat and drink lightly for the first few days. Okay, we all know that cruises are known for their ample and delicious meals. From eggs Benedict and artichoke and goat cheese omelets in the morning to the midnight chocolate buffet, the temptation to indulge is always knocking. Some folks even pack their ‘buffet’ pants, you know, the kind with the elasticized waist, anticipating a little bit of a weight gain. But to keep the queasiness in check, take it easy in the dining room in the early part of your cruise. Save the real indulgences for when you get your sea legs.

2. Focus on the horizon. Get lots of fresh air. When your head starts to spin and your stomach follows suit, get on deck. Gaze at the horizon, which is the only thing that isn’t moving. Relax if you can. Leave your anxiety and stress behind on the dock.

3. Stay busy. If you are able to be active, participate in some light activities such as walking and shuffleboard and practicing your golf swing.

4. Natural remedies. Ginger is one of nature’s best anti-nauseatreatments. Drink a cup of ginger tea, eat a piece of candied ginger, or suck on a ginger lozenge. Even some pickled ginger from the sushi buffet will help. Other food items known to be helpful are dry crackers, carbonated colas, and peppermint. Acupressure bands, stretchy cuffs with a ball-type pressure point that you wear on your wrists, help some people avoid seasickness.

5. Medication. Motion sickness has long been treated with over the counter medications like Dramamine, Gravol, and Bonine. If you have a tendency toward motion sickness, consult with your physician before your cruise and take his or her advice as to which particular medication is best for you.

With these tips, you should enjoy a comfortable and seasick-free cruise.
