Pregnant women should learn to lose weight healthily after childbirth

Pregnant women experience certain deformations after giving birth, and many postpartum mothers will try to lose weight through various methods. However, many people find that although they have tried hard to shed a lot of pounds of meat, their figure is still not ideal. In fact, losing weight is not simply about losing weight. Building your body shape is more important. Before losing weight, you must first understand what body shape you belong to in order to better "prescribe the right medicine."

Is the

fat? Waist-to-hip ratio is the gold standard

We all know that by calculating the BMI index, you can determine whether you are obese by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. But in fact, for most people with big bellies, calculating the waist-to-hip ratio is more scientific.

Waist-to-hip ratio is a ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference. After measuring the waist circumference, measure the hip circumference around the widest part of the hip. Dividing the two is the waist-to-hip ratio. If a woman is greater than 0.8, it is characterized as obese, which can reflect excess abdominal fat and is called visceral fat obesity.

It is generally believed that our waist circumference must be less than 15% of our hip circumference, otherwise it may easily lead to the occurrence of certain cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

This is because our lower abdomen has a hepatic portal vein, and abdominal fat can easily enter the blood through the hepatic portal vein, causing fat accumulation in the blood vessels and even blood clots. The human blood vessel is a transportation system. If one place is blocked, the entire system will be paralyzed. Therefore, in addition to exercising more, people with too large waist-to-hip ratios should also pay attention to having less refined and coarse diet, and eating less fat meat and fried products.

Diabetes size needs to be cautious

The upper body is fat, the stomach is big, and the legs are very thin. This is apple-type obesity and a typical diabetic body shape. Compared with weight, which we are more concerned about, body shape is actually more critical.

Studies have found that people with an apple-shaped figure with an obese upper body and subcutaneous fatty obesity have a higher risk of developing diabetes than people with an obese pear shaped figure with a lower body. The main reason for developing diabetes is obesity, but this group of people can easily develop diabetes even if they are not heavy.

Phlegm-dampness physique is difficult to lose weight

There is also a group of people who eat light food every day and exercise a lot, but no matter how much they exercise and diet, they cannot lose weight. Such obese patients are likely to have a typical phlegm-dampness physique.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, people have nine physiques, among which people with phlegm dampness constitution are easy to get fat and difficult to lose weight. This type of person generally has obesity, more fat on the belly, and more oil on the facial skin. The conditioning of phlegm dampness requires a process. If this constitution does not change, obesity will be difficult to go with it.

What to remind everyone here is that when you see your deformed figure after giving birth, many postpartum mothers can't wait to start losing weight. In order to lose weight successfully, some mothers even adopt radical weight loss methods such as dieting.

Some mothers exercise a lot of intensity every day and eat very low. This may lead to weight loss, but it will be very harmful to the body. Blindly dieting will cause the body to send a strong crisis signal, and new mothers will become very weak due to lack of adequate nutritional supplies. In the end, not only will they not be able to lose weight, but they will also be exposed to various diseases. Invasion, seriously threatening your health. So you must lose weight scientifically.
