You can't argue with proven research, so if science recommends that if we drink more milk it will make our boobs grow naturally - then we will do it. There is plenty of potassium and vitamin B in milk, which are the necessary nutrients needed for building tissue and producing red blood cells.

A mixture of papaya juice and milk is the winning formula, especially if made into a smoothie because then it's delicious.

Listen up, ladies - protein is your new best friend. The quickest and easiest way to naturally boost breast enhancement is to pack your body full of the stuff. Protein helps to restore the tissue around the mammary glands and releases natural growth hormones into your system.

Your hormones begin to slow down throughout your twenties and then really decline in your thirties. Plenty of exercise, seven hours of uninterrupted sleep each night and a healthy protein-heavy diet will soon see your shape snap into good form. High protein foods include tuna, salmon, pork loin, eggs and pumpkin seeds.

9 Mix Marshmallow Root Into Your Meals

Surprisingly, marshmallow has a whole list of good benefits for your body. It can sooth burns or irritations, clear up skin problems and even combat disease. Great Home Remedies recommends the following recipe for rapid breast growth:

"Take 3 table spoons of dry marshmallow root, add 3 cups (1cup = 8 oz or 240 ml) of cold water, put it on heat and boil it for 15 minutes. Filter the extract. Drink 1/3 cup 3 times a day 30 minutes before meals. At the same time apply compresses to your breasts using the same extract (just wet a towel in the extract and apply it as a compress for 20-30 minutes at night)"

In 2008, we got some very bad news from British newspaper The Daily Mail. After researchers questioned over 300 women on their daily caffeine in-take, they reported that "three cups was enough to make the breasts shrink". They also confirmed that there is "a clear link between drinking coffee and smaller breasts."

The study took place at Lund University in Sweden. But don't throw away your Starbucks just yet because they also discovered that caffeine was linked to a deduction in risk of breast cancer too.

[caption id="attachment_9860" align="alignnone" width="2000"] huffingtonpost.com[/caption]

A great body trick which will leave you feeling curvy in all the right places is to invest in the right bra. Many women wear a bra which isn't right for their shape because they haven't been fitted properly. Many department stores offer this service for free and it will change you for the better when you feel fuller and more confident.

Another great trick is to improve your posture. Stand in front of a mirror sideways, you should be able to draw an imaginary straight line from your earlobe through your shoulder, hip, knee, to the middle of your ankle. This will make you appear instantly perkier and it costs nothing.

4 Work On Your Waist

Over time work your way up to twenty abdominal crunches a day. This will take you less than one minute a day and will leave you feeling and looking great.

We all have moments in our monthly cycle where are breasts appear fuller than usual. This is due to our ever fluctuating hormone levels and sometimes our body just doesn't know what shape or size we are supposed to be.

There is an old urban myth where if you massage your breasts for 30 minutes each day then they will go up one cup size - and it works! The benefit of the massage is that is helps with blood flow and circulation.

This old ritual dates back centuries. So next time you're sat at home watching a Netflix marathon don't forget to put idle hands to good use and get working.

[caption id="attachment_10342" align="alignnone" width="1039"] via:www.n-gal.com[/caption]

There are many angles to this tip because women have found many ways to increase their chest sizes by buying padded bras. You can either buy a padded bra to your bra to give that full looking chest or you can get the stick on strapless bras (picture above). Stick on bras can be closed at the front, allowing for a cleavage affect, and trust us this really does work. Make sure to stick the bra on in a way that gives you plenty of cleavage.
