What are the causes of postpartum obesity?
First, age, weight gain during pregnancy, depression, anxiety, nervousness, healthy diet, postpartum physical activity intensity, breastfeeding duration, sleep time, pre-pregnancy body mass index, social and economic status and other factors.
The second is physiological reasons, mainly because of pregnancy and childbirth. The pregnancy process causes dysfunction of hypothalamus and gonad, especially imbalance of fat metabolism, excessive hormones in the body, and common postpartum allergies, leading to postpartum obesity. This phenomenon is called reproductive obesity in medicine.
Third, postpartum diet, in the postpartum period, the old concept that you need to eat too much food, especially eggs, chicken soup, trotters soup and other soups containing a lot of oil, because too much fat is stored in the body, which leads to obesity. Excessive diet after meeting breastfeeding needs can not continue to improve the nutritional level of breast milk, but will hinder postpartum weight recovery and increase the risk of weight maintenance.
