3 Important Healthy Boob Tips

Three Everyday Habits for Healthier Breasts

By Joy McCarthy, Holistic Nutritionist — published October 7, 2025

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I believe the most powerful response is prevention through everyday self-care. My heart goes out to everyone touched by cancer, whether personally or through someone they love. Research matters, but so does caring for our own bodies — including our breasts. Even those of us living a holistic lifestyle can always do a little more.

My Top 3 Tips for Healthier Breasts

Dry skin brushing: This invigorating ritual supports lymphatic flow and helps your body detoxify. Before showering, brush in circular motions toward the armpit (skipping the nipple) — that's where toxins leave when you sweat. 889 Yonge carries a beautiful brush made from 100% natural materials with a long handle for hard-to-reach spots.
Skip or limit antiperspirants: While evidence isn't conclusive, clogging the pores near your breasts keeps toxins from escaping, and parabens — estrogen-like chemicals found in many personal care products — have been detected in breast cancer cells. Save antiperspirant for special occasions and choose chemical-free options instead; 889 stocks deodorants and body sprays I use myself.
Aim for 1–3 quality bowel movements daily: Quality matters more than quantity. Good elimination clears toxins, including harmful estrogens, which is why a high-fibre diet is linked to lower breast cancer risk. Diet and stress both play a huge role — chia seeds have helped many of my clients improve digestion, and two spoonfuls of Chia Goodness at breakfast can work wonders. You can buy Chia Goodness at 889 Yonge.
