The beauty of a woman’s breasts is closely related to her daily diet, a fact confirmed by modern medical research. In general, breast size corresponds roughly to body weight. Overweight women tend to have more fat accumulation in the breasts, making them larger; thin women have less fat in the breasts, so they appear smaller. To promote breast development during puberty or prevent breast atrophy in later life, one can eat foods rich in vitamin E and those that stimulate hormone secretion, such as cabbage, cauliflower, sunflower oil, corn oil, and rapeseed oil. Vitamin B complex also aids hormone synthesis and is found in whole grains, legumes, milk, and beef. Since hormones play a key role in breast development and maintenance, estrogen promotes growth of mammary ducts, while progesterone stimulates branching of ducts to form mammary lobules. For women whose breasts are underdeveloped should eat more high-calorie foods such as eggs, lean meat, peanuts, walnuts, sesame seeds, legumes, and plant oils to help build up a fuller figure, resulting in fuller, more elastic breasts due to increased fat storage. For women with small or unevenly sized breasts besides paying attention to sleeping posture, massage, and exercise, diet therapy offers a practical solution.
