Easy Ways to Get Your Body Back after PREGNANCY and BIRTH

   


       A recent  study by researchers from the St. Louis School of Medicine in America shows that women need a full year to regain their weight and fitness from their last birth. 
Research conducted on a group of women who have given birth at varying periods has found that a woman loses a large amount of minerals (calcium, iron and zinc) during childbirth, resulting in poor energy, chronic fatigue and inability to perform sports activities. She concluded that frequent births may change the body shape of the woman and reduce her fitness in the long term, as the area of ​​skin loose around the abdomen and waist, and spread cellulite in the hips, thighs and arms due to weight gain during and after pregnancy. Experts stress that repeated pregnancy more than three times at close intervals negatively affects the level of calcium element in the body, which weakens bones and teeth.

    There are health factors that are exposed to women who have given birth more than once and at close intervals, especially with age, most notably:

    Weight gain: Doctors show that the weight of women increases by an average of 10 kilograms during pregnancy. This increase in weight is divided into:
-The weight of the fetus averaged from 2.5 to 3.5 kg.
-The weight of the fluid surrounding the fetus.
-The increase in breast and uterine weight which may reach about one kilogram of uterine weight itself, during pregnancy.

-Increased fluid, water and salt retention in the body due to disorders of certain hormones during pregnancy.
-Increased body weight due to excessive fat intake due to dysfunction in certain hormones.


   The doctors noted that the natural increase in weight during pregnancy is in four stages :

   * Increase half a kilogram until the 10th week of pregnancy.

   * Increase of 3 kg until the twentieth week.

  * Increase by 3.8 kg until the 30th week.

  * Increase from 4. 10 to 11 kg until the fortieth week.



   - In general, doctors recommend that pregnant women should not weigh more than 2 kg every 4 weeks during the last months of pregnancy, for reasons related to their postpartum complexion and affect their body mass index in the future, such as:

    The difficulty you face when trying to lose weight after the end of pregnancy, so that it is difficult to diet during the breastfeeding period or when there is a new child at home.

The increase in weight, especially in the last period of pregnancy, attributable to the retention of fluids within the body more than an indication of the accumulation of fat in the body.

  Obesity during pregnancy exposes most women to cesarean delivery, which negatively affects the level of physical activity thereafter. 
   According to a medical report issued by the Harvard Medical School and published in the Journal of Obesity Journal, 78.4 percent of obese pregnant women undergo cesarean section, and that the size of the layers of fat in the abdomen complicates surgery and makes recovery difficult.




   - Deterioration of metabolism: Doctors at the World Health Organization (WHO) say that women aged 40 suffer from a slow rate of metabolism, with their ability to burn calories to about 300 calories per day, compared with the metabolic rate at the age of 20 or 30, This is compounded by those who have experienced recurrent episodes of childbearing and neglect of any sports activity, which weakens their ability to metabolize calories from food and increases the accumulation of central fat from age 30. The researchers attributed this weakness in burning calories to an increase in weight, which may range from 5 to 12 kilograms per year. In order to avoid gaining more kilograms at this stage, health experts at the American Institute of Sports Medicine recommend the following:


    Eat whole grains, such as brown rice, buckwheat noodles, gadawar or brown bread and barley, which will fill your stomach and take longer to digest, delaying the feeling of hunger compared to digesting simple carbohydrates such as sweets, cakes and pastries. A recent study by the Harvard School of Medicine found that women who ate 200 grams of whole grains a day were much less likely to be overweight than those with a lower full-grain intake. The year included analysis of the food components of 74,000 women.



    The study of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that protein is one of the most nutrients that need time and energy to digest, boosting satiety for long periods and consuming more of it. Calories compared to other nutrients. On the other hand, protein helps to build muscle tissue in the body, which increases the body's ability to burn fat and accelerate disposal.


* The variety of meals and their diversity throughout the day, the rate of a meal of 300 calories every 3 to 4 hours, which consumes more energy in the process of digestion, absorption and metabolism compared to eating one large meal a day. Experts confirm the ability of the brain to send out nerve signals to reduce metabolic rate to conserve energy when deprived of food for long periods. The body, when deprived of food, divides the meal into two parts: the first part consumes part of the calories to do the vital functions, while keeping the second part of the calories in the form of fat in anticipation of a state of "famine."


6 commandments to restore the fitness of pre - procreation


1- Eat at least 3 cups of low-fat yoghurt daily (170 grams per cup). A recent Washington University study found that yogurt can change the body's ability to metabolize fat so that it loses up to 50 percent of its fat, In calcium, which increases the enzymes that break fat in the body, and that those who ate skimmed yogurt have lost kilograms more than others who followed a diet at a few calories.

2- Replace soft drinks with natural sugar-free juices, providing at least 49 calories per day and help lose 6 kg of weight throughout the year.

3- Researchers agree that women who have recurrent births maintain greater fat capacity in the abdomen and hips, areas that have been overweight during pregnancy, necessitating a diet high in protein and low in fat and carbohydrates to avoid any unwanted increase in weight.

4- Eat some herbs and nutrients that have proven effective in burning fat and detoxifying the body, most notably: ginger with honey and lemon, which is recommended to eat in the early morning, or apple vinegar diluted with water before each main meal, or green tea because it contains flavonoids Oxidation Resistance.

5 -Eat hot vegetable soup, especially cabbage soup, which lowers the efficiency of the body's fat receptors, quickly removes the fat from the food and expels it out of the body.

6- Keep your physical activity, walking, jogging or swimming training exercises to tighten the slack skin and prevent any excess weight.
