How to lose weight after postpartum edema and obesity?
1. Drink more water. Many people think that edematous obesity is caused by excessive water in the body. On the contrary, most edematous obesity is caused by too little water in the body. Because of the lack of water in the body, cells will absorb water in the body and become obese. Edema obesity may seriously cause kidney problems, so the most important thing to treat edema obesity is to drink plenty of water.
2. Maintain a low-salt diet. Many cases of edematous obesity are caused by too much salt, so it is necessary to maintain a light diet, reduce the burden on the kidneys, reduce excessive water retention in the body, and at the same time reduce the pressure of blood on the blood vessel wall and reduce the swelling of hands and feet.
3. Eat more potassium-rich things, such as bananas, oranges and potatoes.
4. Eating more yam and kelp can eliminate edema. Yam contains a lot of mucin, which can reduce and prevent the accumulation of fat on cardiovascular system, not only reduce the accumulation of subcutaneous fat, but also eliminate edema; Kelp can make people thin and help to lose weight.
5. Moderate and low intensity exercise can effectively accelerate blood circulation, thus taking away excess fat, promoting fat metabolism and relieving edema. Suitable exercise methods include brisk walking and yoga.
6. Strengthen the exercise of the lower body. Because edema obesity is mainly the obesity of the lower body, weight loss should start from the lower body and you can massage your legs. You can also go for a brisk walk after dinner every day. When walking, straighten your back, touch your heels first, and then touch your feet. Don't walk idly, you need a hundred times of energy to walk. It is very useful to lose weight for 20 minutes every day. You can also lie in bed at night and stick your legs upside down on the wall. You can feel your legs cold in about 20 minutes.
What are the weight loss methods of edema obesity? The above are some small methods that Bian Xiao summarized for edema obesity. I hope I can help you.
How to eliminate postpartum calf edema
1. Stretching activities
Postpartum stretching can help the uterus quickly return to its normal position, and can also relieve the joints and muscles of the whole body, promote blood circulation, and naturally reduce edema when qi and blood are smooth. Especially after getting up in the morning, doing some simple stretching exercises in bed will make you feel much better all day.
sweat
2-3 days after delivery, some mothers will find that even if they do nothing, they will sweat profusely. This is the best time to eliminate edema, and the body can also metabolize excess water in the body through sweating. During this period, pregnant women can properly cover their sweat, wear thicker clothes, thinner coats but long sleeves. You can cover the quilt when it is cold. It is best to choose 10 from morning to noon when physical exertion is low. After 2 months, the body will help sweat through auxiliary exercise after the time of self-perspiration. At this time, the physical condition of the parturient has almost recovered, and you can sweat through jogging, walking after meals and other exercises.
Pay attention to sleep
Especially lactating mothers, pay attention to rest after delivery. Only with adequate rest can the hormones destroyed by childbirth in the body recover their functions. You can ask your family to help relieve stress and take care of your children. When you sleep during the day, you should pay attention to choosing a quiet environment. You can close the curtains to reduce the light stimulation, and your family should try not to disturb you.
4. Hot water foot massage before going to bed
The soles of the feet are the most acupoints in the human body. Under normal circumstances, the edema of the lower body of the parturient is also the most serious. You can soak your feet with warm water before going to bed. The water temperature is suitable to stimulate sweating, and the water depth is best from ankle to calf. After soaking feet, press and tap evenly from ankle to coccyx. Massage can open blocked meridians, dredge qi and blood, and relieve body lumps. Excessive use of wrist after delivery can lead to joint pain, and massage can ask family members for help.
5. Diet therapy
(1) Dietary taboos
Eat less salty and high-sodium food during confinement. Because eating too much salt will increase the concentration of body fluids, making it difficult to excrete water. Also eat less or no indigestible and flatulent foods, such as fried glutinous rice cakes, sweet potatoes, onions and potatoes. , will cause abdominal distension, make the blood back flow, aggravate edema. At the same time, pregnant women with severe edema should control the amount of drinking water and reduce the burden on the kidneys.
