How can women ensure their breasts are healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Checkups & support: Obviously, doing self exams for lumps monthly can hopefully catch any signs of problems Additionally, a good support bra for exercise and other activities can keep the breasts from prematurely "giving in to gravity". Maintaining a normal BMI will not only decrease your risk for Diabetes but also breast cancer. Be kind to your breasts and "hang in there"
