What about postpartum obesity?
1: scientific movement
Do some proper physical exercise after delivery. It can accelerate the whole body blood circulation, promote uterus shortening and lochia discharge, prevent heat accumulation in the body, and then prevent postpartum obesity. Generally speaking, you can get out of bed three days after delivery. Exercise should be carried out in the early postpartum period. Generally, women can do aerobic exercise about two weeks after delivery to help their bodies recover. After half a month, you can do fine housework. After the full moon, you can do sit-ups to practice abdominal muscles, but you should pay attention to prevent heavy physical labor.
2. Breastfeeding
Many new mothers refuse breastfeeding because they are afraid that breastfeeding will make their breasts droop. In fact, the cause of breast ptosis is not breastfeeding, but the change of hormones in the body. During pregnancy, the level of estrogen and progesterone in the mother's body is high, which stimulates the development of mammary ducts and acinus and prepares for postpartum breastfeeding. After delivery, the maternal estrogen and progesterone levels dropped sharply, and the mammary glands gradually declined.
Modern medical research shows that. Breastfeeding can promote the recovery of mother's body shape. When a baby sucks its mother's nipple, it can reflexively cause the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin. The more breast-feeding, the more frequent the baby sucks and the more prolactin is secreted. Prolactin can not only promote the growth and development of breast, make breast fuller, but also promote the shortening and recovery of uterus.
What can the body eat after delivery? You can eat some big fish and meat to nourish. However, we do not recommend tonic. Postpartum women are suitable for flat compensation. The so-called flat tonic is to nourish with some commonly eaten foods, such as millet, pork liver, bean sprouts, lotus roots, brown sugar water, eggs and so on. These foods are nutritious, easy to digest and absorb, and very suitable for pregnant women.
Just after delivery, it is not advisable to use some over-nourishing medicinal supplements, including ginseng, donkey-hide gelatin, bird's nest and shark's fin. These foods can also easily lead to the phenomenon that the parturient is not supplemented after delivery, and also easily lead to diarrhea and indigestion in the stomach, which leads to more weakness.
If obese women eat too much of these nourishing foods, postpartum obesity may also occur. Women who nourish the body after childbirth must arrange according to the specific recovery of the body. Generally speaking, it is not until the third week that we really need to make up for it.
Because the body is in the period of detoxification metabolism in the first week, the second week is mainly the recovery of uterus and the contraction of pelvic cavity. In the first two weeks, when the body is tired and the function of zang-fu organs is not fully recovered, excessive intake of some nourishing nutrients will lead to internal heat and dryness in women. Usually, you must eat more nutritious and digestible foods, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, seafood and fish. And pay attention to rest, don't overwork. Postpartum physical weakness and hyperhidrosis should also be properly conditioned. Therefore, early treatment is good. There are many treatments for physical weakness. It is recommended to eat more animal livers, such as mutton, dog meat and donkey meat. Remember to smoke less and drink less, pay attention to go to bed on time at night, and don't stay up late. In addition, taking part in outdoor sports, exercising more every morning and keeping a good mood also play a key role. But avoid doing less strenuous exercise. If it really doesn't work, you can follow the doctor's advice and take some weak medicine. Due to energy consumption, trauma, bleeding and other reasons in the process of delivery, women's vitality is greatly exhausted and their qi and blood are insufficient, which will form postpartum physical weakness. Symptoms include: fear of cold, fear of wind, sweating, low back and leg pain, etc. Therefore, during confinement, women must strengthen nutrition, tonify qi and blood, eat more red dates, angelica, brown sugar and other foods, and can cook chicken soup with angelica and jujube. In addition to food supplement, proper exercise is also conducive to physical recovery. You can do some small exercises properly, not too much, rest more, don't be overworked because of taking care of the children, and recover slowly.
