Can I wear a corset to sleep at night?

In order to reduce belly fat, many people choose to wear a corset, and some people even wear a corset when they sleep at night. So is a sleeping belt a good one? What harm does a waist belt do?

Is the sleeping belt good?

Waistband sleeping belts are not very good. Waist belts will cause external pressure on the waist. Wearing a waist belt when sleeping will not only make it difficult for people to relieve pressure, but may also cause discomfort, which is detrimental to health and sleep quality.

Disadvantages of sleeping belts

The main disadvantages of wearing a girdle to sleep at night are:

Causes back pain

Wearing a waist belt to sleep at night can easily cause back pain. On the one hand, the waist cannot be effectively relieved during sleep, causing muscle pain. On the other hand, the waist belt causes compression on the kidneys, affecting kidney function and affecting waist blood circulation. The waist muscles are prone to feeling powerless and painful.

Affects breathing

Wearing a corset to sleep at night can easily affect normal breathing. The waist belt will affect the contraction and relaxation of the waist muscles, restrict the left and right movements of the diaphragm, and prevent the breathing movement from being carried out normally, affecting the supply of CO2.

Blood circulation system obstruction

Wearing a corset when sleeping at night can easily divide the blood in the body, increase the load on the heart, and easily squeeze the abdomen and affect the blood circulation system.

What are the harms of waist belts?

(1) Affects the blood circulation system

Wrapping the waist tightly with a belt can make the waistline curve, but it also divides the body's blood circulation in half. On the one hand, it increases the afterload of the heart when it contracts, which will cause hypertension and coronary heart disease in the elderly over time; on the other hand, it squeezes the abdomen, restricts the activities of abdominal organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, and kidneys, and causes poor blood circulation, which affects their functions.

(2) Hindering breathing

The waist muscles are the left and right arms of breathing movement. When a person inhales, the contraction and relaxation of the waist muscles can help the diaphragm to move left and right, which is beneficial to the development of breathing movements. If the binding is too tight, this kind of exercise will be hindered, which will affect the function of the entire lungs, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the whole body, which can easily cause dizziness and respiratory infections.
