"The Best Frequency for Washing Your Sports Bra"

Experts warn that failing to wash sports bras and other gym clothes immediately after use can lead to irritated skin and infections due to the growth of bacteria and fungus. Reusing sweaty gym clothes can trap bacteria, dirt, and oils, leading to skin issues. Drug-resistant bacteria, including MRSA, can live on gym equipment for weeks, posing a risk of severe infections. Despite this, many people do not prioritize washing their gym clothes, with some relying on scent rather than hygiene. If unable to wash immediately, running sweaty clothes under hot water and choosing fabrics with better air circulation can help mitigate bacterial growth.

The Impact of Ill-Fitting Sports Bras on Breathing and Energy Levels

A new study funded by Lululemon and conducted by researchers at the University of British Columbia suggests that wearing a too-tight sports bra can affect breathing and impede running performance. The study tracked the breathing and lung function of elite runners and found that a too-tight bra caused them to take more shallow breaths and consume more oxygen, leading to decreased running economy. Experts recommend wearing a sports bra that offers adequate support without being too tight around the rib cage, emphasizing the importance of proper fit for optimal performance and comfort during exercise.

"Debunking the TikTok Myth: Sports Bras and Breast Cancer Connection"

A TikTok video suggesting that wearing sports bras frequently can cause breast lumps has sparked panic among young women. The video, which has garnered millions of views, claims that compression from sports bras can lead to fluid build-up in the lymph nodes near the breasts. However, breast surgeons have debunked this myth, stating that fluid does not get stuck in the lymph nodes and that the lymphatic system naturally drains excess fluid away. They recommend a firm breast massage instead of flicking or shaking the breasts. While sports bras are important for physical activity, they advise against wearing them all the time to allow the breasts to move naturally. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer, but death rates have significantly decreased due to awareness campaigns, better screening, and new drugs.
