Li Dongye (Vice President of Jiangnan Branch of Qingxihan Hospital) How to Control Postpartum Obesity Watching the female artists on TV recover their slim figure in less than a few months after giving birth, the mothers in front of the TV are not only envious, but also sad. "If I spent money to find someone to maintain my body like those women, I wouldn't be like this now!" Some people even express their jealousy in this way. Is that really the case? Of course, spending money on health care can really bring a lot of help. However, what is more important is how much determination and practical motivation women have for postpartum slimming. The results of a study show that pregnant women gain an average of 3 ~ 4 kilograms in half a year after delivery. Then again, why can't women lose weight? Because I have children, I have no mind to exercise and manage my body, which is also a reason. However, after in-depth understanding, we will find that most of the original reasons come from the wrong idea of eating well and sleeping well in postpartum conditioning culture. In fact, many pregnant women do eat too much nutrition and seldom exercise. The first step of postpartum weight loss is similar to general weight loss. Eating less and exercising more is the most basic. Eating three meals at a fixed time every day is more important than limiting food intake and calories. It would be better if we could add enough sleep and proper exercise. In addition, breastfeeding is very helpful for postpartum slimming. If possible, I strongly recommend breastfeeding within 6 months after delivery. Mothers are busy taking care of their children, so they have to take time to eat casually, and sometimes they skip lunch, resulting in too much dinner. This is the biggest factor that women can't avoid postpartum obesity. Therefore, even if it is very hard and troublesome, please try to develop the habit of eating three meals a day and eating regularly. Diet is the same as general weight loss. Balanced intake of brown rice, miscellaneous grains, beans, vegetables, seaweed and other foods, increase the proportion of fiber intake, because of the maternal relationship, protein must also fully intake. Eat less meat and eat more tofu or seafood instead of meat. It is best to eat less carbohydrates, especially flour and sugar. Although the method of conditioning is important, a light diet is also important. Put less seasoning, and use steaming, baking and boiling instead of frying and quick frying. In addition to three meals, you can eat one or two meals of fruit, vegetables, milk or yogurt as simple snacks. In addition, please drink more water. Drink plenty of water, herbal tea and moderate caffeinated drinks. Good sleep is also important. You may want to know what is the relationship between sleep and postpartum obesity, but the parturient is in a state of weakness and severe edema because of childbirth. Deep sleep is very important in order to return to the original state. Deep sleep can replenish physical strength, activate metabolism, make edema disappear as soon as possible, and also improve the success rate of postpartum slimming. In addition, if the state of the body becomes better, the basal metabolic rate will also increase, making daily life full of vitality, and the overall calorie consumption will naturally increase.

In addition, if the state of the body becomes better, the basal metabolic rate will also increase, making daily life full of vitality, and the overall calorie consumption will naturally increase. Finally, the emphasis is on proper exercise. Starting from 3 months after delivery, in addition to stretching, yoga and unarmed gymnastics, you can also improve your strength, such as brisk walking and easy jogging. When exercising to lose weight, you can do muscle strength exercise first, and then do aerobic exercise. When doing muscle strength exercise, you will consume calories from parts other than fat, and then if you do aerobic exercise, you can immediately consume calories from fat parts, which is very effective in reducing body fat. In addition, you can also take prescription drugs to lose weight. Before that, please understand that the ingredients in both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine are not necessarily conducive to breastfeeding. Prescription drugs that are not directly diagnosed in hospitals or Chinese medicine hospitals may be dangerous to mothers and babies. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women to determine that prescription drugs can breastfeed at the same time after the judgment of doctors or Chinese medicine practitioners. Postpartum edema is actually a normal phenomenon. Everyone's views on postpartum edema are negative. That's because people think that if edema is not solved, it will cause a burden to the body, and it may also make the mother suffer from postpartum obesity for life. As a result, women drink the juice boiled by old pumpkins, deliberately make themselves sweat and try to eliminate edema. But there is no correlation between postpartum edema and postpartum obesity. Postpartum edema As long as you take proper nutrition and exercise, and excrete more urine and sweat than usual, postpartum edema will naturally disappear with water, and postpartum edema will naturally disappear within two weeks. Traditional Chinese medicine divides postpartum edema into edema caused by blood stasis, edema caused by physical weakness and edema caused by occasional blood deficiency. Basically, the correct treatment for postpartum edema is to remove blood stasis and replenish physical strength. If only herbs with diuretic effect are used to treat other types of edema, pregnant women with insufficient water in their bodies will dry up, causing symptoms such as hair loss and insufficient breast milk. In addition, intravenous injection after caesarean section is also considered to be one of the causes of edema. Postpartum intravenous injection often contains oxytocin which can inhibit postpartum hemorrhage. On the one hand, it can help uterine contraction, on the other hand, it can inhibit urine excretion, and then make the body edema. But this is only a temporary symptom, so don't worry too much. Is it really effective for women to drink pumpkin juice to eliminate postpartum edema? Pumpkin does have a strong diuretic effect, but drinking pumpkin juice continuously will not bring much effect. Postpartum edema is not caused by renal or bladder dysfunction. The biggest reason is the accumulation of water in the skin, which makes the body warm, and it is more effective to expel water through sweating. Therefore, if you still think that pumpkins are good for your health and there is no edema, it is not good to drink several bags a day. Especially, adding honey to pumpkin juice will not only increase calories, but also increase blood sugar, which needs to be controlled. So, how should women try to eliminate postpartum edema? First, the diet must be light. Especially soup foods with high salt content, it is best to eat less. If your feet are swollen badly, you can raise your feet a little when you lie down to help eliminate edema. Leg edema is mostly caused by pelvic skew, which leads to blocked lymphatic circulation from the foot to the pelvis. It is best to receive moderate pelvic correction treatment.
