For some members, No Bra Day is an effort to raise awareness of the importance of early detection of breast cancer, as well as to provide support to those who suffer from it. By the way, this warning is connected to the health promotion of the body
The story of no bra date
No Bra Day, which is now held every October 13, has a long history and is marked by many controversies. The commemoration was originally intended to reiterate the importance of promoting breast health, including highlighting the importance of breast self-examination to detect cancer at an early stage.
In addition, this day aims to support breast cancer survivors and their families, as well as raise funds for research and organizations that help patients. The movement started on social media as a symbol of freedom and concern for breast health, encouraging people not to wear bras as a sign of solidarity.
What is clear is that every anniversary is not associated with any current organization. The creator of the day no bra
No day Bra is Dr. Mitchell Brown, a plastic surgeon from Canada, who started the program called “BRA Day” (Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day) in 2011. The Sun said, celebrating this anniversary every July 9, but it was done . eventually moved to October 13 to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. BRA Day was organized at Women’s College Hospital and Toronto General Hospital with the goal of increasing awareness of breast reconstruction options for cancer survivors. In 2012, the event spread to the United States and became celebrated as No Bra Day. That year, around 400,000 people participated in No Bra Day, and 250,000 posts linked to it on social media.
Braless Day Controversy
However, No Day Bra is also causing controversy. Some critics say that these warnings are often misused to emphasize sexuality and make the body stand out, which is far from its original purpose, which is to to let people know about early breast cancer detection and breast cancer prevention.
As cited by CNET, several advertisements were considered inappropriate, such as the posting of Selena Gomez wearing a see-through dress with the message “Happy Braless Day.” On the other hand, Louise Ridley, the deputy editor of the Huffington Post UK, said in an article that “This is a ‘Day of Awareness’ that does not exist, does not make people aware, and which does not bring any money.
The relationship between days of depression and breast cancer
As awareness about breast health increases thanks to Bra Free Day, various questions arise about the relationship between wearing a bra and the risk of breast cancer. Does wearing or not wearing a bra affect breast health? However, as cited by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that wearing bras, including underwired bras, causes breast cancer. Research has not found any link between bra use and increased risk of breast cancer. However, it is important to choose a good bra to avoid discomfort or other health problems, such as swelling.
According to the National Institutes of Health Research, breast cancer is more likely to be explained by other factors such as diet, lifestyle and access to health services, rather than using a bra. Where there is limited access to health care, breast cancer is often underdiagnosed. In addition, the risk of breast cancer increases with age, so areas with higher mortality rates may have lower rates of breast cancer. Another study published in 2014 examined more than 1,000 women with breast cancer and nearly 500 women without cancer. The study did not find a link between the duration of bra use or the type of bra and the risk of breast cancer.
