Researchers
at Britain’s Portsmouth University
say that without adequate support,
your breasts may bounce
3Vz
inches with every step you take
during exercise—putting extra
stress on key support structures
called Cooper’s ligaments. The
result: discomfort and sagging.
The remedy? A sports bra, which
reduces bouncing by 78 percent.

If you’re comfortable when you
work out, you’ll exercise more
frequently, and physical activity is
one of the best ways to lower your
cancer risk. One recent analysis of
62 studies found it cuts risk up to
30 percent even after menopause,
when cancer risk rises. “All of the
research on breast cancer and
exercise shows that no matter
what age you start, it will reduce
your risk,” says Dr. Christy Russell,
associate professor of medicine at
the University of Southern
California School of Medicine and
chairman of the American Cancer
Society’s Breast Cancer Advisory
Committee. “We recommend
getting at least 30 minutes of
moderate to vigorous activity five
or more days of the week. For
even more protection, going for 45
to 60 minutes is even better.”
about 30

That's the number
of women who have
dense breasts, making
routine mammograms
difficult to read.
For them, a high-
contrast digital
mammogram is
virtually essential.
