Can confinement help you lose weight?

Confinement is very important for women, because it concerns their future health, so women should pay special attention to it. Of course, many women gain weight because they eat too much during pregnancy. These women want to lose weight during the confinement period and regain their slim figure. So, how to lose weight during confinement? The following is a detailed introduction.

1. Establish correct concepts

Postpartum diet plays a vital role in the smooth progress of waist slimming. To ensure that babies and new mothers get adequate nutrition, their diet must contain rich protein, vitamins, and minerals, such as fish, lean meat, eggs, milk, fruits, and vegetables.

2. Appropriate aerobic exercise

On the second day after giving birth, new mothers can get out of bed and walk. For new mothers who have lost a lot of blood, have low blood pressure, or have undergone a caesarean section, it is better to get out of bed and walk on the third day.

Six months after giving birth is the golden period for new mothers to lose weight. But new mothers who have just given birth should not blindly go on a diet to lose weight. Because the body has not yet fully recovered to its pre-pregnancy level after giving birth, and some new mothers still have the heavy task of breastfeeding, this is the time when nutrition is needed.
