The topic of breast enhancement has always attracted much attention from women. Many people believe that eating more papaya can enhance breast enhancement because papaya contains papain, which can stimulate breast growth. In addition, the carotenoids contained in papaya can be converted into vitamin A and can also stimulate estrogen secretion. These two substances have the effect of enhancing breast enhancement.

However, after we eat papaya, the papain contained in it will be broken down in the stomach and cannot stimulate breast growth; as for vitamin A, it cannot stimulate estrogen secretion and is also ineffective for breast enhancement.

If you want your breasts to be firm and round, eating papaya won't work, but for adult women, breast enlargement is not without solutions. Compared with plastic surgery, we recommend exercising to achieve breast enlargement. Because women's breasts also need muscles to support them. By exercising the chest muscles and improving the support of the breasts, the breasts and the surrounding muscle tissues can become stronger. For example, chest expansion exercises and push-ups can effectively exercise the corresponding muscle strength, making the breasts look firmer, fuller, healthier and more beautiful.
