Everyday habits that can cause your boobs to sag

Sagging boobs are sometimes inevitable. Having a baby, breastfeeding, and racking up more birthdays all contribute to a loss of elasticity of collagen, the connective tissue under the skin—leaving your boobs more deflated than firm. Sagging boobs can also be a matter of genetics. If your mother had a droopy pair, you might be predisposed to one, too.

Here’s the thing: Some boob behaviors that seem like they have nothing to do with sagging can actually contribute to it—so if you avoid them, your boobs will be better off. A recent study found that chest tissue ages two to three years faster than the rest of your body, so you might want to quit any habit linked to flaccid boobs—like these:

Crash Dieting
Each time you gain and lose weight, chest tissue becomes more slack, kind of like old tights. Unstable weight loss and gain contributes a massive amount to sagging boobs.

Smoking
Even your boobs can’t escape the damage cigarettes do. Any amount of smoking weakens and ages skin by decreasing the blood supply to the skin surface.

Skipping Sunscreen
Continuous exposure of your skin to UV rays without a protective coating of sunscreen can lead to premature wrinkles, and it has the same effect on your boobs by stretching out collagen which is responsible for skin elasticity.

Wearing an Unsupportive Bra
Whether it’s the boulder holder you wear during the day or the sports bra you change into at the gym, not sporting proper support is a big reason for boobs to go north. The more your boobs bounce around, the more stressed chest skin and collagen become. Stop in a lingerie shop and ask for a fitting just to make sure you’re wearing the right bra for your shape.

High-Impact Workouts
The research is scant right now, but some experts say that the back-and-forth repetitive motions that happen when you run or do a similar workout can lead to a breakdown of chest collagen.

Squeezing
The more the boobs are squeezed continuously, the more stressed they feel, leading to loss in elasticity which then causes sagging boobs.

A woman's boobs are an important part of her body and every woman definitely wants boobs that still point to heaven even in their old age. Take care of yourself properly and you wouldn't have to worry about sagging boobs.
