Growth of breast tissues is part of the normal development of the reproductive system in human female. In primates other than human females, the full breasts develop only during lactation and they shrink when the animal stops breastfeeding. However, in human females the breasts develop fully even before she starts nursing her offspring. Breasts in most civilizations are symbols of fertility. The large breasts are signs of enhanced activities of the female hormone estrogen. High levels of estrogen makes a woman fertile, and hence the association between large bosoms and female fertility.

The breasts start to change during adolescence, after the ovaries increase estrogen secretion. Fat tissues start accumulating in the breasts, and the breast enlarges. The milk secreting glands start developing after the inception of the menstrual periods. The size of the breast is determined by its fatty tissue content. The exact size and shape of the breasts differ from woman to woman.

Hormonal changes occur throughout the menstrual cycle. These changes might trigger mild changes in the breasts, especially before the beginning of the menstrual bleeding. Few days before the menstrual bleeding, your breasts might feel slightly lumpy. It is a normal sign of the mammary glands enlarging to prepare the breasts for a possible pregnancy. If conception does not occur, your breasts will regain their earlier shape.

The female hormone estrogen along with other hormones such as progesterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, human placental lactogen and oxytocin prepare the breast for lactation.

In the late 40s or early 50s, the estrogen level falls dramatically. Menopause triggers certain changes in the breasts. Reduction in estrogen diminishes the glandular tissues in the breasts. In the absence of estrogen, the connective tissues in the breasts lose their moisture contents. Dehydration destroys the elasticity of the connective tissues. When the reproductive system of the body shuts down, the breast tissues shrink and lose their natural shape, and the breasts start sagging.

Pueraria mirifica based products are not recommended for pregnant and nursing women. They might not be suitable for women diagnosed with tumors in the breasts, ovaries or uterus.

Increasing intake of foods rich in phytoestrogenic compounds might aid breast augmentation. Moreover, studies suggest dietary intake of phytoestrogen might reduce the risk of developing breast cancer.

Nuts and oilseeds contain relatively higher levels of phytoestrogen. Among nuts and oilseeds, flaxseeds are believed to be the richest source of phytoestrogen. They contain phytoestrogen-rich compounds known as lignans. Soybeans and soy products, legumes, whole grain, meat products, fruits and vegetables are common sources of dietary phytoestrogen.

Soy is a popular source of the phytoestrigen rich isoflavones. However, the processing mechanism used in preparing soy derivatives might change the phytoestrogen component in the soy product. Raw soybean and soy flour are touted to be the best sources of phytoestrogen among the soy products.

Among fruits, apples, cherries and pomegranates are good sources of this plant compound. Phytoestrogen is also present in carrot, beet and yam.

While the phytoestrogen rich fruits and vegetables aid breast tissue development, to maintain the natural elasticity of the breasts, include protein rich foods in your diet. Amino acids are needed for synthesis of hormones. They help to support the health of the connective tissues. Foods rich in proline and lysine are especially important for aiding collagen synthesis. Animal foods are the richest sources of these amino acids. Egg white, fish, lean meat and low fat dairy are the healthiest sources of proline and lysine. Among plant sources, wheat germ is a good source of proline and legumes are rich in lysine. Enriching your meals with vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables would assist conversion of the amino acids into collagen.

Increasing consumption of healthy fats might help to increase the fat build-up in the breasts. Essential fatty acids are also needed for aiding synthesis of sex hormones. Moreover, the unsaturated fats in your diet would make the breast skin smooth and supple.

To enhance the appearance of the breasts, you can try breast exercises. Since the breast is devoid of muscles, these exercises do not work directly on the breast. Instead, they help to uplift the breasts and make the boobs firmer by strengthening the chest muscles that support the breasts. Yoga postures could improve the appearance of your bust line. Suryanamaskara or the sun salutation is a popular yoga workout the helps to build the chest muscles.

Conventional push-ups are also recommended for improving the appearance of the bust. Strength training is good for your boobs. Your busts could become firm if you raise dumbbells while lying down. While exercising wear a good sports bra. By reducing the affect of gravity on the breasts, it would prevent your breasts from sagging. Always select the right cup size. Your breasts are more likely to sag if you wear the wrong bra. To find the correct cup size, first measure the band size by measuring the circumference of your chest wall by placing the measuring tape, underneath the breasts. Now measure the bust size by placing the measuring tape on the fuller area of the breasts, usually on the nipple, and measuring the circumference of the chest wall. The band size less the bust size will give you the cup size.
