1, the golden period of postpartum slimming
The so-called golden period of postpartum slimming refers to that it is easier and faster to lose weight in a specific period after childbirth, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort. So what is the golden period of postpartum slimming? Generally speaking, four months after delivery belongs to the golden age and is divided into two stages. The first stage is confinement period, which we call postpartum physiological recovery period. The first month after delivery is an important period for postpartum mothers to recover. During this period, the uterus will discharge lochia, gradually restore its original size, and endocrine will return to normal. At this stage, the body recovers well and the metabolism is smooth, so it will be much easier to recover later. During confinement, the lying-in woman can lie on the bed and massage the abdomen in a circular way to promote uterine reset. At the same time, massage with firming cream can increase the elasticity and tightness of the relaxed abdominal muscles. Reasonable use of abdominal girdle after 5 days after delivery can help the internal organs return to their original positions, and at the same time make the relaxed abdominal muscles contract, so as to prepare for body shaping in the future. At the same time, we should pay attention to keep enough sleep to avoid imbalance of secretion and regulation in the body and "metabolic disorder obesity". The second stage is 48 days to three or four months after delivery. During this period, the maternal body has recovered almost. Next is the critical period of skin tightening and body shaping. We should work hard on diet and exercise. Eating more high-fiber food and less meals can reduce fat accumulation and tighten waist and hip circumference. At the same time, you can do some postpartum calisthenics, tighten abdominal muscles and waist muscles, and cooperate with abdominal breathing to enhance the slimming effect.
