Stew Milne-USA TODAY Sports

You know what we don't have enough of around here?  DeflateGate Articles!

I, for one, just can't get enough of them.  So I decided to spend a little time with an internet search engine of choice (your mileage may vary) and scoop up as many DeflateGate articles as I can, since Marima's links have been a little scant in that area of late....

Now I'm not knocking Marima at all here.  Her links are THE GOLD STANDARD, and in fact I'll even try to emulate her formatting as much as I can.  Nothing of course, can compare to the original.

Now this could have taken a REALLY long time, but thankfully, the Wells Report assured me that Deflate only has one meaning, so it was a quick matter of sticking that little word in and simply reaping the harvest.  Where I could, I also included the date of usage.

So for those people that can't get enough, here's everything you ever wanted to know about deflating.

Add cardiovascular exercise to your weekly routine. Aim to get at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderately-intense or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week to promote fat loss.

Wear a supportive bra to prevent the ligaments that support your breasts from stretching as your breasts move. This helps keep them looking lifted and firm.
