Scientific weight loss methods for postpartum obesity

Many women tend to become obese after giving birth, because we are prone to overnutrition during pregnancy and less exercise, so it is normal for some fat to accumulate in the body. So how should we lose weight after giving birth? We recommend that mothers must choose scientific methods to lose weight after childbirth and never take weight-loss drugs indiscriminately. Below we introduce scientific weight-loss methods for postpartum obesity.

Postpartum weight loss is the same as any other weight loss activity. Before starting regular physical exercise, you need to get a doctor's approval and proceed regularly and step by step. Postpartum weight loss requires consideration of more nutritious diets, etc. You cannot blindly take diet pills. You should lose weight scientifically and healthily. In this way, new mothers can lose weight more healthily after childbirth.

1. Exercise:

Start walking and body training as early as possible. The sooner you start postpartum exercise, the better. You can start it on the second day after a normal birth, or within five days after a caesarean section. During the confinement period, you can take a slow walk like you did during pregnancy. Walking is the most reasonable form of exercise for pregnant women. Nurses in large hospitals will urge mothers to walk as soon as possible. You can start losing weight 6 weeks after delivery by doing simple micro-exercises such as sit-ups, push-ups, squats, etc., and develop an exercise habit. Four months after delivery, you should intensify your efforts to lose weight. You can practice yoga, swimming and other slimming exercises at this time.

After giving birth, as long as women can use healthy weight loss methods such as exercise to lose weight within the "first time" (that is, within 12 months after giving birth), they can gradually restore their healthy body shape before pregnancy.

2. Diet:

Postpartum diet plays a vital role in the smooth progress of weight loss. To ensure that babies and new mothers get adequate nutrition, their diet must contain rich protein, vitamins, and minerals, such as fish, lean meat, eggs, milk, fruits, and vegetables.

During the confinement period, nutrition should be increased to help the recovery of reproductive organs, replenish the consumption during pregnancy and childbirth, and create conditions for the secretion of sufficient milk. Food choices should be reasonable, nutritionally balanced, and not picky eaters; in order to ensure adequate milk secretion, breastfeeding mothers should eat more stews with soups, such as stewed hen soup, pork rib soup, beef soup, pig's trotter soup, etc.

In the above article, we introduced a symptom that is easy to occur after childbirth, that is obesity. Postpartum obesity has brought many troubles to many mothers, but we can use the scientific postpartum weight loss methods introduced above to achieve the goal of weight loss.
