你還在戴文胸睡覺？

It’s one of those old wives tales that, to this day, remains an area of contention. Will wearing your bra to bed help keep your breasts nice and perky?

如今，有個傳統(tǒng)的說法飽受爭議。睡覺時不摘文胸真得能讓乳房更加挺拔傲人嗎?

Marilyn Monroe swore by it, but others find it uncomfortable and really, and who can blame them?

瑪麗蓮·夢露就穿著文胸入睡，其他女人卻覺得這很不舒服，可誰又能怪她們呢?

But, painful straps and wires aside, Dr Seth Rankin says sleeping in your bra could actually be bad for your health.

醫(yī)生賽斯·蘭金說，事實上，難受的背帶和鋼圈會使穿著文胸睡覺對身體有害。

Not only does he insist that it will have little-to-no impact on your breasts heading south, but he also suggests that the garment could restrict the lymph glands.

他不僅強調(diào)這樣做對防止乳房下垂毫無作用，還指出內(nèi)衣會壓迫淋巴腺。

“When you're lying down flat, the effect of gravity pushes the breast tissue back towards your chest, instead of down towards your toes,” he told Cosmopolitan.

“當(dāng)你平躺時，重力作用會把乳房組織往胸部方向推，而不是朝腳趾方向垂。”他告訴《時尚COSMO》雜志。

“So wearing a bra (the purpose of which is ultimately to support breasts from below) is essentially redundant in bed, as breasts naturally compress back down onto the chest.”

“所以戴著文胸(最終目的是支撐乳房以防下垂)上床睡覺實際是多余的，因為乳房自身能垂直地朝胸部壓。”

It might not have any impact on sustaining youthful, gravity defying breasts but it’s not doing any harm, right?

所以睡覺不摘文胸可能無法讓胸部保持年輕、不下垂，但也沒有什么壞處，是嗎?

Wrong. Dr Rankin goes on to explain that, wearing a bra to bed can affect the lymph glands.

錯。蘭金醫(yī)生接著解釋說，穿文胸睡覺會對淋巴腺有害。

“A tight bra may restrict the flow of lymph to the many important lymph nodes around the breast and armpit, hindering the system's vital function of flushing toxic waste-products from the body,” he adds.

“過緊的文胸會使淋巴循環(huán)不通暢，對大量位于乳房和腋下的重要淋巴腺體不利，阻礙了淋巴系統(tǒng)的排毒功能正常運轉(zhuǎn)。”他補充說。

Other experts have confirmed this too. Speaking to the Mail, Professor Mokbel warned women about the dangers of wearing ill-fitting bras.

其他專家也肯定了這點。穆克比勒教授在接受《郵報》的采訪時，警告了女人穿著不合身文胸的危害。

“Wearing a constrictive bra to sleep affects the physiology of the breast,” he said.

“穿束緊的文胸睡覺會破壞胸部的生理機能，”他說。

“It can impair the blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which, at worst, can lead to chronic inflammation, oedema (fluid retention) and discomfort.”

“它會阻礙血液循環(huán)和淋液流動，最壞的情況甚至?xí)?dǎo)致慢性炎癥，水腫(液體淤留)和疼痛。”
