How to get fat after childbirth?

Many people will gain weight after giving birth, which is very harmful to health. It is necessary to do a good job in nursing and aftercare in time. So what is the problem of postpartum obesity? What should I do to gain weight after delivery? There are many reasons for this symptom, and improper nursing will bring very funny adverse effects to health. Let's take a closer look at the specific content.

1, the causes of postpartum obesity

(1) The body's blood gas energy is insufficient.

Postpartum obesity does not rule out this reason, that is, it is likely that the body's qi and blood energy is not enough, and there is not enough energy to excrete the waste in the body. These wastes that can't be discharged accumulate in the gaps of the internal tissues of the body, and with the gradual increase of accumulated garbage, people gradually get fat.

This is contrary to the situation caused by tonic inactivity, which will be mentioned below. One is lack of energy, and the other is excess energy. But there is no conflict. Postpartum obesity in insufficient blood gas does have its roots.

The correct way: postpartum mother, the body is often in a state of qi and blood deficiency. In this case, it is recommended to supplement the body's energy before losing weight in order to metabolize the garbage toxins in the body.

(2) Overnutrition of postpartum tonic.

Traditionally, pregnant women pay great attention to nutrition during pregnancy and after delivery. Nowadays, with the improvement of living standards, almost all pregnant women consume more nutrients than they do, which means that "income" far exceeds "expenditure", so people naturally become fat.

The correct way: although it is necessary to make up after childbirth, it is not appropriate to make up too much. In addition, in order to prevent postpartum obesity, some people deliberately reduce their food intake, which is harmful to their health and undesirable.

(3) lack of exercise after delivery

Many women become motionless and inactive after knowing that they are happy. I am afraid of abortion in the early pregnancy and premature delivery in the later pregnancy. One month after delivery, I was "never leaving the bed and not going out." Coupled with the extra care of the husband and the elderly, the rice comes from mouth to mouth, the tea comes from mouth to mouth, and the bed stays for a long time, almost insulated from exercise, and fat accumulates in the body. How can this not be fat?

The correct way: Whether before or after pregnancy, it is definitely not advisable to completely eliminate exercise. Just pay attention to the degree of exercise. Some minor exercises with small exercise range can be done by pregnant women or parturients, such as walking and yoga for pregnant women.

(4) Postpartum abdominal muscle relaxation

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the biggest cause of postpartum obesity is abdominal muscle relaxation. During pregnancy in October, the bearing capacity of abdominal cavity is increasing. Liver deficiency, fascia weakening. Therefore, after giving birth to a child, the stomach will be like an elastic rubber band, which is difficult to recover. Not only does it cause abdominal swelling, but the uterus and female private parts will also lose their original toughness and elasticity.

The correct way: Although postpartum abdominal muscle relaxation is inevitable, you can still restore muscle elasticity, eliminate abdominal fat and lose weight successfully through active exercise.

(5) Postpartum constipation

Postpartum constipation is almost a situation that many women will encounter. Because women lose blood after childbirth, the intestines are not moist, or women themselves are qi-deficient, the body can't transport the stool, so that the stool accumulates in the intestines and is difficult to discharge for a long time. Long-term postpartum constipation makes the stomach lose its own function, and the accumulation of residue can easily become a small "belly" woman over time.

The correct way: at this time, the small belly is generally swollen and needs to be solved from the inside. In addition to daily exercise, we should also increase intestinal peristalsis. We can eat more vegetables, fruits and bananas in our daily diet to relieve postpartum constipation.

(6) Excessive postpartum sleep

Mothers all know to keep enough sleep after delivery, so as to recover quickly and have the perseverance to lose weight. However, mothers often don't notice that degree. If you sleep too much, your metabolism will decrease, and nutrients such as sugar will accumulate in the body in the form of fat, causing obesity.

The correct way: sleep for 8 hours at night after delivery, take a nap 1 hour, and sleep for one day can be guaranteed. Do not sleep too much.

2. What about postpartum weight gain?

(1) insist on breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding is not only beneficial to the baby's growth and development, but also the best way to lose weight after childbirth. Babies sucking nipples for a long time can help the uterus contract, and at the same time, the process of lactation can promote milk secretion, strengthen the metabolism of the mother, consume the fat in the mother's body, transport excess nutrients in the body, and help slim down and lose weight.

(2) Use postpartum tummy belt

Postpartum slimming can use postpartum abdomen belt, pelvic correction belt and other tools for physical weight loss. Physical weight loss can prevent the heart, stomach and other organs from falling and bind your fat. This is also a natural way to lose weight.

However, it is not recommended to use postpartum abdomen belt too early after delivery, especially for women who have caesarean section. It will take at least a week, because the body has not fully recovered at this time, and the oppression of the abdominal belt is easy to hurt.

(3) More postpartum activities

Generally speaking, if there is no major discomfort after delivery, you can get out of bed and do some small activities after half a month. You can do some housework properly after the full moon. Then, doing some aerobic exercise and postpartum yoga every day can reduce the fat accumulation in the waist and abdomen. At the same time, moderate exercise can also regulate human metabolism, consume too much fat in the body, which is conducive to postpartum weight loss.

(4) Maintain a reasonable diet

First of all, we must ensure adequate water, such as drinking a cup of warm water after brushing your teeth in the morning, because adequate water can promote metabolism in the body and achieve the effect of detoxification; Secondly, three meals a day should be regularly quantified to prevent the intake of excess calories.

In order to ensure nutrition, the diet needs to be rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Eat more fresh dairy products, fruits and vegetables and eat less greasy, seasoned and sugary foods.

(5) Grasp the golden period of postpartum slimming.

Studies show that the golden period of postpartum weight loss is within 6 months, and 1 week is the key. If a balanced diet and proper exercise are adopted during this period to improve the metabolic rate, it will not cause edema and persistent obesity in the future.

(6) A cheerful mood is the key.

Science has proved that anxiety, irritability, anger, sadness, anger and other negative emotions. It will make women's endocrine system dysfunctional, affect the metabolism in the body, and cause obesity and other problems. Therefore, it is best for women to remain optimistic after childbirth and avoid the stimulation of bad emotions.

(7) Keep a good sleep

Mothers who have just given birth to babies should try their best to ensure the quality of sleep, because when we don't get enough sleep, our metabolism will decrease, which is not conducive to our recovery. Generally speaking, postpartum mothers should sleep for an hour or two more than other normal hours, about 8 or 9 hours, of which taking a nap accounts for one hour.

Don't sleep too much after delivery, otherwise it will easily affect your sleep at night. In addition, soaking feet before going to bed or drinking a cup of hot milk can effectively improve the quality of sleep.

(8) Take a bath every day.

Bathing can not only regulate body temperature, accelerate blood circulation, but also promote the metabolism of the body, accelerate the discharge of sweat and consume excess calories of the body, thus achieving the effect of losing weight. This simple and easy way is almost the first choice for mothers who want to lose weight after childbirth.

However, it should be noted that bathing should be done two or three months after delivery, because the uterus has not been repaired before bathing, which is easy to be infected and not good for wound healing.

4, satiety will affect digestive function: maternal gastrointestinal function is weak, satiety will hinder its digestive function. Eat less and more meals after delivery, and you can eat 5~6 times a day.

5, sour astringent food is not conducive to lochia discharge: pregnant women postpartum, blood stasis, it is not appropriate to eat sour astringent food, such as ebony, lotus seeds, persimmons, pumpkins and so on. , so as not to block blood circulation, which is not conducive to lochia discharge.
