How to do a new mother lose weight after childbirth

According to Lu Liya, general manager of Jinhua Store of Shanghai Beautiful Mom Postpartum Recovery Center, which will open on May 8, postpartum women will experience body fluids, bones, hormone levels, qi and blood, internal environment, physical appearance, and reproductive system, breasts, and psychology after a long pregnancy and childbirth period. Huge changes will occur. Such as backache, postpartum weakness, loss of qi and blood energy, vaginal relaxation, pigmentation, loose breasts, sagging, dilated, obesity, loose and rough skin, etc. At this time, postpartum mothers have to take care of newborn babies on the one hand. On the other hand, they have to readjust the new multi-faceted family relationship they have formed with their husbands and babies. They will also face the pressure to return to the workplace to start socializing and rebuild the image of a professional woman, often in the most insecure period.

Postpartum recovery mainly includes body shape recovery and physical fitness recovery. Body shape recovery should pay more attention to weight changes: if the body weight exceeds 10% of the pre-pregnancy weight 6 months after delivery, it is considered postpartum obesity, more than 20% is moderate obesity, and more than 30% is severe obesity. Postpartum body shape recovery is also closely related to fat percentage. Correlation, fat percentage between 17% and 24% is normal. Postpartum physical recovery: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the most important problem after childbirth is physical decline. Postpartum sweating is prone to fatigue, liver and kidney deficiency causes sore back, soft legs, anemia and metabolic disorders. The improvement of the above symptoms is closely related to the progress of postpartum recovery due to Qi stagnation and blood stasis.

Is postpartum recovery weight-loss equivalent to ordinary weight loss? Lu Liya said that ordinary weight loss is the concept of reducing human body weight by burning human body fat, increasing drainage, and reducing food intake. It is mandatory weight loss. It is difficult for women's fragile bodies to adapt to this process in a short period of time. Once it stops, it will rebound immediately, and it will easily cause damage to the postpartum mother's physique. Postpartum recovery slimming is through meridian conditioning, which first excrete toxic substances from the body, reduce the metabolic burden on the organs, and restore the organs after childbirth to their original state. Then, a series of fine conditioning is used to achieve the purpose of self-balancing of the body's metabolism, so that the possibility of rebound is greatly reduced.

So, what issues should I pay attention to when choosing a postpartum recovery center? Lu Liya believes that in China, postpartum recovery is still an emerging industry. How to choose a professional and trustworthy postpartum recovery institution is a confusion for many new mothers. It is recommended to judge from the following aspects: the history of the institution, the number of stores, the scale of funds, and the level of professionalism.

In the opinion of maternal and child health experts and beauty experts, as long as the method is right, expectant mothers can dress up with confidence. Take melasma for example, pregnant women do not need to worry too much. Because generally within half a year to a year after childbirth, the butterfly spots of most young women can completely or partially disappear by themselves, and the remaining parts will disappear completely within two years. It is not advisable to use heavy makeup to cover up spots. Skin is sensitive during pregnancy. If you use too much cosmetics, it will irritate the skin and cause allergic symptoms.

Many women find it particularly easy to tan during pregnancy. Beauty experts believe that pregnant women should try to avoid long-term exposure to the sun and use parasols with anti-ultraviolet effects, sun hats, long-sleeved tops, etc. during outdoor activities. Pregnant women should not use sunscreen cosmetics, especially products formulated with chemical sunscreens, to avoid irritation to the skin by chemical ingredients.

During pregnancy, many women's facial oil secretion will increase, and their skin will become extremely greasy, especially in the T-shaped area. Beauty experts recommend that pregnant women use some skin care products that can remove oil and shine to make their skin feel fresh and natural. In short, the skin is very sensitive after pregnancy, so gentle, pure high-quality cosmetics should be used. (Editor in charge: Yang Miao
