How to regain your figure after giving birth? How to take care of yourself after giving birth?

How to regain your figure after childbirth is a concern for many postpartum mothers. Today, I will teach you how to take care of yourself during the confinement period to gain health and a good figure~

"Confinement" is a unique "treatment" for women in my country. A good confinement can help women get a better rest and recovery after giving birth, which is very beneficial to their physical and mental health in the future. Therefore, new mothers should not act capriciously after giving birth, otherwise it will be detrimental to their health. For postpartum care, the first thing to pay attention to is physical care. Do not let yourself be too tired during the confinement period, and ensure sufficient sleep time every day. If conditions permit, you can ask your family to help take care of the children, which is conducive to physical recovery. In addition, you should also pay attention to psychological adjustment, and you should adjust your mentality in time to stabilize your emotions. Of course, it is also very important to have the company and care of your family.

How to get back in shape after giving birth

Do more jumping exercises

In order to restore your body to its pre-pregnancy state as soon as possible after childbirth, you can do more jumping exercises. This kind of exercise does not necessarily need to be done outdoors, it can be done simply at home, such as skipping rope, doing exercises, playing with fitness balls, etc.

Do more abdominal exercises

To avoid having a pot belly, you can do some abdominal exercises anytime and anywhere to tighten your buttocks muscles.

Walk and run more

After giving birth, you might as well use your free time to take more walks and runs. This can consume excess calories in the body, reduce fat accumulation, and is also very helpful in strengthening your physical fitness and relaxing your mood.

Do not lie down or sit for long periods of time

If you lie down or sit like this for a long time all day, your body will consume less calories and absorb more nutrients and calories, which will naturally make you fat. Only proper exercise is good for restoring your body shape.

Do not sleep or sit immediately after eating

Many people have the bad habit of sleeping immediately after eating or sitting and watching TV, which is not only not good for personal health and food digestion, but also makes the body fatter and fatter.

How to take care of the baby

1. Three stages of confinement: one is to arrange, two is to adjust, and three is to supplement

Specifically, divide the month after delivery into weeks, and eat different foods according to your needs each week:

In the first week, the main thing is to expel excess water, toxins and lochia from the body. Drink Shenghua Tang and eat fried pork liver with sesame oil every day.

Be careful not to drink water (otherwise the drainage effect will be lost). If you are thirsty, drink thirst-quenching beverages, such as lychee seeds or boiled rice wine. Note that water cannot be added to any dish, boil rice wine instead. Do not add salt (salt will keep water in the body), vinegar (vinegar will soften bones), or soy sauce (same reason as salt).

If conditions permit, you can eat Grade A Moromi, which is a Japanese product that improves metabolism. Whether it is body repair or wounds, it is actually completed through cell metabolism. Metabolism can be understood as the "vitality" of traditional Chinese medicine. Only when the metabolism is good can the waste water and lochia in the body be discharged thoroughly, and the body shape can be repaired quickly after childbirth. Many people are very weak after childbirth, will suffer from constipation, and lack of milk, and drinking this will help. Japanese people usually drink Grade A Moromi as a beauty product. It can balance acid and alkali, improve fat and calorie metabolism, remove moisture, and make the face firmer. It has many functions. During the critical period of postpartum repair, you will drink double. (If you are still preparing for pregnancy, start eating it at least 3 months before pregnancy to prepare a good physique in advance. It is useful for edema and constipation that are prone to occur during pregnancy. The baby's growth is also through cell metabolism, so it is also very important for the baby.)

In the second week, the focus is on strengthening bones and the functions of the waist and kidneys, and restoring the pelvis.

Eating fried kidney and Eucommia powder every day can help relieve the pain in the coccyx and other bones; (In addition: if it is a caesarean section, you need to drink Shenghua Tang for another week). Taboos are the same as above, and you should not eat pickles, kimchi, or miso soup.

From the third week to one month, at this time, what needs to be discharged has been completed, and the main food to eat is sesame oil chicken to nourish the body.

Remember, you must eat sesame oil chicken after excreting toxins so that it can be absorbed by the body, otherwise it will accumulate in the body and become excess fat. Because the body is weak in the early stage, Chinese medicine says that the body cannot be supplemented, so if you eat it, it will not be absorbed and will only increase the burden on the body.

All of the above foods require a large amount of rice wine (cooking wine and yellow wine cannot be used as they contain salt and have different processing techniques), ginger, sesame oil, and brown sugar.

2. At the same time, during the confinement period, you should avoid being exposed to wind or catching a cold.

Wear shoes with backs (don't wear slippers, otherwise you will have heel pain). Wash your face with boiled rice wine after it is warmed up, don't take a bath, and wipe your body with boiled rice wine. Wear a belly band, and it is best to breastfeed yourself, which will be better for your body's recovery. Start exercising after the confinement period, and so on.

How should pregnant women prevent winter dryness?

Winter is not only cold but also very dry, so many people feel uncomfortable. As a mother who has just given birth, because her body is in the recovery period and her constitution is relatively weak, the discomfort of the mother will be more obvious. So, how should the mother prevent winter dryness? What should the mother pay attention to in winter dryness?

1. Reduce the number of showers

Some women insist on taking a bath every day, but in the dry and cold winter, the mother is weak and taking a bath frequently will increase the chance of catching a cold. It is recommended that if the body is not very dirty, you can take a bath every two or three days, so as not to reduce the secretion of sebaceous glands on the skin, thus making the skin too dry.

2. The bath water temperature should not be too hot

In winter, many people like to take hot baths, but overheated bath water is not good, especially for pregnant women. In addition, pregnant women should try not to use bath products when bathing, because women's skin is more sensitive at this time. If bath products are not selected properly and contain chemical substances, it will irritate the skin and make the skin drier. Therefore, it is recommended to use less bath products or choose special products.

3. Increase indoor air humidity

Indoor humidity should be controlled at about 40%, and human skin feels most comfortable in such an environment. Mothers can use a humidifier in the room to increase the indoor humidity, or put a few basins of water in the room with heating on, which can also help increase the air humidity. If the indoor air humidity is too low, human skin is more likely to feel uncomfortable, and it is also easy for mothers to have symptoms such as fatigue, irritability and headaches, affecting their mood and physical recovery.

4. Rehydrate and supplement vitamins

It is necessary to replenish water and vitamins properly in the dry season. Therefore, mothers must drink water in moderation and eat more vegetables and fruits containing vitamin D to help relieve dry skin.
