The golden period of weight loss after childbirth allows you to lose weight quickly

The golden period for weight loss after childbirth is six months after childbirth. If you do not seize the time to lose weight after childbirth, your weight will gradually increase afterwards. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers do appropriate exercise and maintain a reasonable diet within six months after childbirth.

1. Confinement period: physiological recovery period

The first month after delivery is an important period of physical recovery for postpartum mothers. For the sake of health, you should not consider too many methods of firming and shaping the body. However, if you take good care of yourself during the confinement period, your body functions will recover quickly, your endocrine system will return to normal, and your metabolism will be smooth, which will also help you restore your body shape.

2. Moderate abdominal massage:

After delivery, the enlarged uterus and abdominal tissues will recover naturally. In order to avoid discomfort during the rapid recovery process, it is recommended that mothers do moderate circular massage on the abdomen to promote the smooth return of the uterus. Using a firming cream while massaging can increase the elasticity and firmness of the relaxed abdominal muscles.

3. Use a belly band:

A belly belt can apply appropriate pressure to the abdomen and buttocks, help the internal organs return to their original positions, and restore the abdominal wall and pelvis to their pre-pregnancy state. At the same time, it can tighten the loose abdominal muscles. It is recommended to use a belly belt 5 days after delivery, and a slim figure will not be a dream.

4. Get enough rest:

Harvard Medical School in the United States once conducted a survey on postpartum mothers: mothers who slept less than 5 hours a day weighed an average of 10 kilograms more than mothers who slept 7 hours a day. This is a scary number. Lack of sleep leads to an imbalance in hormone secretion and abnormal metabolism, which can easily cause "metabolic obesity". The study also found that mothers who lack sleep find it more than twice as difficult to lose weight as the average person. Therefore, sleeping two more hours a day can help your body recover.

5. 48 days to 3 months after delivery: Skin tightening and slimming period

After the confinement period, the next critical period for postpartum mothers is to tighten their skin and shape their bodies. During this period, they should work hard on their diet and exercise.

6. Eat small, frequent meals and a high-fiber diet:

After the high-calorie, high-protein intake period during the confinement period, the concept of gradually introducing more fruits and vegetables and high-fiber into the diet in the form of small meals frequently can help normal gastrointestinal metabolism, effectively improve the constipation problem of many postpartum mothers, reduce fat accumulation, and tighten waist and hip circumference.

7. Postpartum body shaping exercises:

The wound needs to heal right after giving birth, so it is not recommended to exercise immediately. However, one month after delivery, all body conditions have almost recovered. At this time, you can do some exercises to tighten the abdominal muscles and psoas muscles. You can also burn excess calories and reduce abdominal and buttocks fat. Abdominal breathing is a good way to do it.

8. Abdominal breathing:

Lie flat on the bed, bend your knees, place your hands on your abdomen, inhale deeply to make your abdomen expand and protrude, then exhale slowly to make your abdomen concave, and repeat 10 to 15 times.
