Questions:
Is it better for women to sleep with or without wearing a bra?
Answer 1:
Without, for sure. Even if you have large breasts. They don't actually "need support" until you've gotten them used to wearing a bra. Like other parts of your body, your breasts actually have ligaments, tendons and muscles. They atrophy if not in use (when they have constant "support") and that's why it can be sore when you take off your bra. Once you get used to sleeping without one, they won't be sore any more.
Wearing a bra 24/7 has actually been noted to increase chances of breast cancer and fibrocystic disease?. It's actually healthy to let your breasts move around a little and be free during part of the day you're awake, too... it really helps with lymphatic circulation, and can keep your breasts healthy.
Originally, bras weren't necessary to people, even with very large mammaries. Then eventually, everyone was told they had to wear one to keep from sagging or whatever. Now, most breasts need a bra, but it's like any other body part. If you put your arm in a sling for 6 months, it would be weak and feel like it needed a sling. Bras don't keep breasts from "sagging" and if your breasts are in a bra all of the time, they may even sag more in the end.
I'm not going to tell you to ditch a bra completely (unless you want to... that's all a personal choice) but I'd definitely recommend not wearing one at night, and even at other times when you feel comfortable taking it off.
Answer 2:
My wife used to sleep with hers on all the time, and she is not big. I could not imagine anything less comfortable than having that thing on for the whole twenty-four hours.
She takes it off most of the time now. I think she finally realized she was missing out on a more comfortable sleep.
Make it five.
Answer 3:
There's speculation that wearing a constrictive bra to sleep can be damaging to lymph nodes, making one more susceptible to cancer. This hasn't been proven.
To prevent sagging? In several studies, women were asked to complete all of there daily activities (including vigorous sports) without a bra on. Overwhelmingly, the results were that the women's breast actually became LESS saggy when they did not wear a bra. This is thought to be because the ligaments that support breast tissue were properly exercised.
If a woman feels more comfortable wearing a bra at night, there isn't a reason not to do so that is scientifically proven. The answer to you question is "neither", because the reason or wearing a bra to sleep differs for each person with breasts.
Questions:
Everybody gets goosebumps, when they are cold or scared, but what really is the cause of goosebumps and I want information on what causes them, and generally about them! I almost get them every morning, so I might as well know whats going on [:
Answer 1:
Goose bumps are created when tiny muscles at the base of each hair, known as arrectores pilorum, contract and pull the hair erect. The reflex is started by the sympathetic nervous system, which is in general responsible for many fight-or-flight responses.
As a response to cold: in animals covered with fur or hair, the erect hairs trap air to create a layer of insulation. Goose bumps can also be a response to anger or fear: the erect hairs make the animal appear larger, in order to intimidate enemies. This can be observed in the intimidation displays of chimpanzees,[1] in stressed mice[2] and rats, and in frightened cats. In humans, it can even extend to piloerection as a reaction to hearing nails scratch on a chalkboard, listening to awe-inspiring music,[3] feeling or remembering strong and positive emotions (e.g., after winning a sports event),[4] or to an intellectual or spiritual epiphany.
Piloerection as a response to cold or emotion is vestigial in humans; as humans retain only very little body hair, the reflex (in humans) now provides no known benefit.
Questions:
How often would I have to work out? For how long? Whats best to eat to achieve this?..
I have to walk my boyfriends' brothers' wedding late Agaust this year and I am freaking out. I have got to flatten my stomach by then or i will look weird in the super tight dress I have to wear. Is this a reasonable goal? How long will it take me? Please help :)
Answer 1:
Well it's already the first week in June and your want to be ready in about 6 or 7 weeks, whew!!! Not much time, lets get started. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 am to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of coffee to get the blood going also. Do all the situps you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don't have alot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning hours lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies, candies, chips, night snacks,etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there. In the evening do another 6 sets of situps maxing out each set. Cardo again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes its hard, thats why it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max. Do this until you wedding, you will be ready, or you can wimp out and the wedding date will be there before you know it and you have wasted all those days. I believe you will make it, best of luck to you, stay tough!!! Get mean!!!
Answer 2:
Change your eating habits (try going with less starch and bread.. or try to avoid brown foods in general. also, eat lots of fruit and vegetables!). eating healthier is the main way to loose stomach fat because the first area that your body burns fat from is your mid section. also, do sit ups AND crunches. it seems redundant, but they work different muscles.
Besides, situps, crunches, cardio workouts, skipping with a rope, swimming.
