Experts recommend three exercises for women to lose weight after childbirth

Mastering methods to lose weight after childbirth is not an extravagant hope

"Everyone said I was a beautiful woman, but everything changed completely after giving birth to the child." The physical changes after childbirth made citizen Ms. Wang very distressed. When her baby was 4 months old, Ms. Wang still weighed as high as 140 kilograms. How to lose weight after childbirth has always troubled her. What made Ms. Wang even more depressed was that she could not wear old clothes and even buy new clothes. Over the past few months, her mood became increasingly depressed.

Like Ms. Wang, many women suffer from postpartum obesity. What are the causes of postpartum obesity, how to lose weight, and what are the misunderstandings about losing weight? In response to these questions, yesterday, the reporter consulted Liu Lilan, an obstetrician and gynecologist.

Reason: Physical and life changes

Liu Lilan believes that the cause of postpartum obesity is mainly attributed to changes in the physiological structure and living habits of pregnant women.

"Weight gain is an important and obvious physiological change during pregnancy. In addition to the weight of the fetus, placenta and amniotic fluid, the mother itself is caused by the weight of the fetus, placenta and amniotic fluid.

There have also been some changes due to endocrine changes." Liu Lilan said that with the increase in estrogen, women's fat will also increase; there is also an increase in lutein and preparation for breastfeeding, resulting in more prolactin.

In addition, Liu Lilan said that many pregnant women, in order to allow their baby to absorb sufficient nutrients,

Follow the principle of "one person eats, two people make up", put aside the previous diet concept of avoiding eating because of fear of obesity, and try to eat as much "tonic" food as possible. However, some expectant mothers "supplement" the wrong food, but instead eat too much calories and become fat to the mother itself, but the fetus may not be able to absorb nutrients.

Method: Maintain the location of the

for an exercise

"Women who exercise regularly or maintain a sports hobby for a long time can recover faster after childbirth by at least a month." Liu Lilan introduced that if you don't want to work too hard during postpartum self-cultivation, starting an exercise before pregnancy and implementing it throughout will not only avoid being overwhelmed during pregnancy, but also accelerate the recovery of various organs after childbirth.

Considering that it can be performed before pregnancy and is easy to adhere to during pregnancy, experts recommend 3 suitable exercises:

Walking: Walk at least 5000 steps a day. This is an aerobic exercise that is very beneficial for heart and lung function. Walking can accelerate blood circulation in the body and maintain a strong metabolism. This is very helpful for weight management during pregnancy and weight loss as soon as possible after childbirth. If there are no complications after childbirth, mothers who have a natural labor can get out of bed and move around on the day of childbirth. Therefore, walking is also the earliest exercise that can start after childbirth.

Swimming: In water, the buoyancy effect of water can reduce the impact of gravity on the human body. In particular, it can help reduce the pressure of the growing fetus on the pelvic floor tissue, and can restore the pelvis and its surrounding ligaments and uterus as soon as possible. In addition, swimming is a very relaxing exercise. Moreover, swimming can increase body coordination and reduce exercise injuries, so it is also a very suitable exercise during pregnancy, and can

It is enough to reduce possible accidents caused by mothers-to-be's weight gain, body becomes clumsy, coordination decreases, and balance deteriorates.

Yoga: The breathing method of yoga and the exercise of flexibility and flexibility of body muscle tissue can keep a woman's body young and energetic. Especially for women who are often under work pressure, if they practice yoga training at least 3 to 5 times a week, they will recover quickly from their body, skin and body flexibility after childbirth, and the effect will be obvious.
