It's not the face that ages faster for women, but this "secret" part

Many women may be aware that their breasts age faster than expected, and now scientists have confirmed this view. According to the British Daily Mail, experts from the University of California, Los Angeles have found that among human organs, breast tissue ages faster than other parts.

Professor Steve Horvath of the David Geffen School of Medicine has discovered a "biological clock" that can accurately measure the degree of aging of body tissues. He pointed out that the speed of the biological clock is not constant. It runs very fast before a person is 20 years old, and only slows down to a relatively constant state after the age of 20.

He found that healthy breast tissue ages 2 to 3 years faster than the rest of the body. For a woman with breast cancer, the healthy breast tissue near the tumor is up to 12 years older than the rest of the body. At the same time, the biological clock also measured the tumor tissue and found that it was an average of 36 years older than healthy tissue.

The findings may explain why breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It also explains why increasing age is a major risk factor for cancer.

What is more worth mentioning is that Professor Horvath also monitored the human body's multipotent stem cells - new stem cells in the adult body that can combine and divide at will. He found that when human cells are converted into pluripotent stem cells, the biological clock is reset to 0.

Therefore, if there is evidence that the biological clock controls the aging process of the human body, it will become an important biological indicator for studying the human body's "youth technique."

How women can care for their breasts

1. Change your eating habits

Eat a low-fat, high-fiber diet, consuming fiber from whole grains (whole grains), vegetables, and legumes.

2. Massage your breasts frequently

Gently massaging the breasts can help return excess body fluid to the lymphatic system. When massaging, first apply soapy liquid to the breast, and rotate your fingers along the surface of the breast in a circle about the size of a coin. Then use your hands to press the breasts in and bounce them up, which is extremely helpful in preventing breast discomfort.

3. Wear a secure bra

In addition to preventing breast sagging, the more important function of a bra is to prevent further compression of the already compressed breast nerves and eliminate discomfort. Careful sisters will find that those jogging athletes wear stable bras for this health reason.

4. Avoid diuretics

Diuretics do help remove fluid from the body and can also reduce breast swelling. But this immediate relief comes at a cost. Excessive use of diuretics can lead to potassium loss, disrupt electrolyte balance, and affect glucose formation.

5. Don’t eat salty and spicy sausages

High-salt foods can easily cause breast enlargement, and such foods should be avoided especially in the 7 to 10 days before menstruation.

6. Try hot compress

Hot compress is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that can relieve breast pain by using a heat bag, hot water bottle, or hot bath. If you use alternating cold and hot compresses, the effect of eliminating breast discomfort will be better.
