Unable to fit into your old jeans which you purchased before pregnancy? Are you a new mom who has got a huge postpartum belly along with moments of joy? Being a mother is a stressful full-time job and so it is common for women to ignore themselves while taking on the responsibilities of newly – acquired motherhood. Relax! You got this huge tummy in 9 months, you can’t lose it in a matter of a few days. So, be patient and follow a few easy tips to get rid of your postpartum belly:
Yoga
Practice some easy yoga poses, only after 6 months of delivery in order to avoid injuries. Try yoga asanas like pranayama that help in tightening abdominal muscles.
Exercises
Perfect posture and proper workout are essential for new moms as they help to get back in shape after the delivery. They not only strengthen abs but also improve circulation.
Massage
Go for some ayurvedic massages to strengthen muscles and lose weight.
Healthy diet
If you want to get rid of a postpartum belly, it doesn’t mean that you have to skip your meals. It’s harmful to your health as well as the baby’s, especially if you are a breastfeeding mother. Go for fresh fruits and vegetables but stay away from oily foods and sweets.
Drink plenty of water
It is one of the best and natural ways to rejuvenate yourself. It helps to flush out all the toxins and excess fat from your body and keep you hydrated.
Brisk walks
Walking is the best exercise. After the delivery, your body isn’t fit for heavy exercises or a run on the treadmill. So, it’s better to go for brisk walks.
Abdominal belt
To gain something, you have to lose something. Wearing an abdominal belt is very irritating and painful too. You can remove it only while eating, sleeping or while freshening up. But consult your doctor before you wear it, especially if you have undergone a C-section.
Breastfeeding
It is claimed that breastfeeding leads to weight loss. It helps to melt excess fat from your body. Even if you don’t lose weight, your baby is getting all the nutrition she/he needs.
Start your post-pregnancy fitness plan and achieve your goal of a flat belly in a healthier way.
