Title: I Think I Found Studies Indicating that Excersices Helps Estrogen Absorb...
Post by: Tanya1 on February 15, 2008, 04:57:30 PM
does anyone smart or intelligent like Keira think that these studies possible suggest that estrogen absorption increase?

Here are the studies

I'm sure in a way it could, really you have to think about it, where does estrogen go when you take it? Why in the blood stream of course! And excercise is a great way to get the blood pumping which in turn would effect the absorbtion rate of the estrogen as it'd be getting in your system faster.

Anyway, ya, I can see how that'd be true. ;)

I seem to remember Keira mentioning in another post that this would be as a result of growth hormone associated with exercise being present in your bloodstream...

Ive got a friend who avidly works out and HRT performed wonders on her <cept in the breast growth area cuz she kept her weight and body fat percentage too low> and even despite that she looks every inch a girl  :)

her doctor contributed her excersize regimin to how well HRT worked...  she just had genetics against her in the cupsize department... but you can be athletic looking and still be stunning<sp?>

Are you sure that the soreness of your nipples is not related to rubbing on clothing during excercise?

Renate

Yes, I'm sure it's not. it's not like a rash- more like the inside is sore.

sports bra? my breasts are only still in budding phase!- it's going slow but I "heard" that there's nothing to worry about because they have growth spurts and they can still grow big even if it's growing slowly..

That would be interesting if it did.  I have been on HRT for about a year and my breasts are small A's.   :(  Lately I have been working out at the gym as I can get a membership with no fees and a discount price through work.  I am mainly trying to concentrate on cardio and strengthening my core.  I did also notice that my breasts were more tender than usual the other day after working out.  I took off my sports bra and was undressing and was like OUCH as gravity gave them a pull.  And its not like my sports bra is tight either so maybe it does help, or it could be the excertion from working out.  Time will tell.

It makes sense, doesn't it? When you exercise, your blood circulates much better. Exercising increases your own natural growth hormone. These are facts. There are people out there that are in their 50s and have bodys of a 30 year old. A good exercise routine and good nutriction certainly would help your body use the estrogen more efficiently.
When I work out or I've had an active day at work, It feels like or seems like my boobs are swelling and tender. :)
When working out, one just has to be careful doing certain chest exercises, you can work off some of what you gained.  :(
