Western culture associates large breasts with fertility, sexuality and femininity. No methods besides weight gain and cosmetic surgery have been conclusively proven to effectively increase bust size, but many natural foods may alter hormone levels to mimic the conditions associated with lactation. This may, in turn, help to improve the volume of breast tissue. Consult your health care provider before making radical alterations to your diet, especially if you have a medical condition, take medication or have a family history of hormone-sensitive cancer.
Fennel
The bulb and seeds of the fennel plant contain a high concentration of anethole, dianethole and photoanethole—medicinal compounds that are chemically and structurally similar to estrogen. According to the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, fennel has been used to manufacture synthetic estrogen, and it was used traditionally to promote lactation and treat menopausal discomforts. Mediterranean chefs use fennel bulb as a fried or grilled vegetable in everyday dishes, and the seeds may be used to season salad dressing or sauce.
Licorice
Licorice root is similar in fragrance to fennel; both owe their sweet odors to flavorful estrogen-like compounds. Artificial licorice candy will not enhance bust size, but candies made with natural licorice extract may do so. According to Medline Plus, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, licorice can significantly elevate levels of the hormone prolactin, which is involved in breast milk production. Licorice, which has been used traditionally to improve breast milk production in lactating mothers, may improve breast size by stimulating the flow of blood and fat to the breasts. Additionally, the NIH notes that this popular candy can alter levels of estrogen, another reproductive hormone associated with enhanced breast size.
Soy
Minimally processed soy foods, such as tofu, contain potently medicinal compounds known as isoflavones. These estrogen-like chemicals occur naturally in the soybean and may improve breast size when they are eaten in significant quantities. Although the NIH acknowledges soy's potential as a breast enhancer, there is not enough conclusive evidence to demonstrate its efficacy. In theory, soy can improve the fullness of breast tissue by stimulating an elevation in estrogen levels. Note that highly processed soy foods contain little or no isoflavones and are unlikely to influence breast size.
