How to control the abdomen during confinement

Many women experience significant physical changes after giving birth, and this period is also a critical period for body conditioning. Most women are more concerned about the problem of body shape changes after giving birth. Every woman will have a confinement period after giving birth and can also do some abdominal care during the confinement period, which will be of great help in restoring their body shape. So how much can women be charged when they are in confinement?

1. Use a shrinking belt promptly after childbirth

This method is also recommended by many obstetricians and gynecologists. Doctors recommend that the belly belt can be used on the day of normal delivery, and should be used after the wound is healed for caesarean section. Note: the belly belt should be removed before sleeping at night. Also take it off before eating and put it back on 2 hours after eating. You can stop using it after half a year.

2. Make adjustments to your diet

Minimize your intake of calories and fat. You must have strict control over your diet. You can remove the oil from the meat and eat on time every day. It is best to have dinner later and not eat too much. Another thing to note is to drink less carbonated drinks and chew less gum: when drinking carbonated drinks or chewing gum, you will swallow a lot of air, especially the polyols contained in chewing gum, which will not be digested by the small intestine. Food must be cooked: In today's world, food is half-cooked, which results in the starch not being destroyed. The starch sugar in most vegetables and grains accumulates in the large intestine, producing carbon dioxide, causing the abdomen to bulge. Eat healthy foods: Yogurt and fermented milk can activate substances necessary for digestion, help improve the intestinal microbial system, and thus prevent abdominal bulge.

3. Abdominal exercise

Sit shallowly on a chair with your legs spread to shoulder width and your knees bent, with your thighs and calves at 90 degrees. Keep your upper body straight, tighten your abdomen, bend your elbows downward, and raise your lower arms with your palms facing forward. Then twist your waist to the right and back, move slowly and with as much amplitude as possible, and be careful not to sprain your waist and abdomen! At the same time, hold the top of the chair back with both hands, maintain the posture for 4 seconds, turn back again, and after 4 seconds, twist your waist to the left in the same way for 4 seconds. This is a set of movements, do 5-10 times.
