Can using a belly belt after childbirth really help you lose belly fat?

Many mothers who have just given birth feel lonely when they see the loose belly fat they have after giving birth, and they hope that there is a magical bandage that can tighten the belly fat and immediately restore the slender and soft figure before giving birth. But can a simple strap really help you restore your body shape? In fact, not only will it not make you lose weight, it will also cause a lot of harm.

The band does not shrink the abdomen. Wearing a band only pushes the fat to an inconspicuous position, making the figure look slimmer and thinner, but "the fat will be there with or without the band." It's like tying a band to a balloon. The balloon just becomes a little more oval, but the volume remains unchanged.

The harm caused by restraint to the mother:

1. Aggravate visceral prolapse and uterine prolapse. Not only can the binding belt fail to prevent the prolapse of internal organs and uterus, but it will also aggravate the prolapse of internal organs and uterus. During pregnancy, the changes in growth hormone and the growing uterus will cause the abdominal and pelvic muscles to continue to be stressed and gradually relax. If you put on a belt after giving birth, it will undoubtedly make the abdomen, which has just been unloading and relieved of stress, put on a golden hoop again. At this time, the increased pressure in the abdomen will force the uterus to move downward, aggravating uterine prolapse and failing to stabilize the internal organs.

2. The restraint belt increases the pressure on the abdomen and pelvis, obstructing venous return, which can easily cause varicose veins in the lower limbs and aggravate hemorrhoids. Similarly, increased abdominal pressure can aggravate uterine prolapse and vaginal prolapse.

3. If the abdominal band is too tight, it will affect the blood circulation system and compress the kidneys, spleen, liver, stomach, intestines and other organs in the abdomen, making the internal organs and central nervous system in a state of excessive tension for a long time, resulting in reduced gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, leading to constipation. 4. The restraint belt puts stress on the muscles around the abdomen and spine, hindering the normal activity of the muscles and blood circulation, resulting in reduced muscle contractility.
