As nice as it was, after long months it feels good to have your stomach to yourself again. But what is it? Those folds next to the navel weren't there before. Now is the time to do something good for our body again so that it can regenerate itself after all the exertions. Be courageous, even unsightly belly folds can be dealt with quickly with the right program.
What you need:
- Olives or sunflower oil
- Volatile oil
- Lemon and lavender
Normalization of metabolism after pregnancy
- After pregnancy, you should recalculate your calorie expenditure. As a woman, you have a daily metabolic rate of approx. 1200 calories.
- If you are breastfeeding after your pregnancy, you can add another 200-300 calories.
- Drink at least two liters of water a day and avoid short-chain carbohydrates such as sugar and white flour, pasta or rice. Whenever possible, you should eat potatoes cooked.
- The quickest way to regain a toned figure is to eat as much raw vegetables as possible. But even if that's not your thing, eat at least five handfuls of vegetables and three handfuls of fruit a day, this gets your digestion going and increases your metabolism. In addition, it ensures your vitamin needs, which are very important for a good one skin.
- Next, you need protein to help tighten your connective tissue. To do this, choose fat-free meat, sausage or dairy products - provided you can tolerate them. Soy is also great for rebuilding connective tissue. Choose the sugar-free, low-fat products here. Increase your protein consumption daily to one to one and a half grams per kilogram of body weight. With a body weight of 60 kilograms that would be 60 - 90 grams of protein per day. That increases your metabolism and makes sure of that body has enough building blocks available for cell renewal.
- Allow at least three to five hours between meals to fully digest the food. Otherwise, the body quickly converts what is superfluous into fat.
Especially after pregnancy it is important to do specific exercises for the stomach ...
Reduction of belly wrinkles through exercise
The second most important step is now an athletic training. You should do endurance sports for at least 30 minutes at least twice a week. This increases the metabolism and blood flow to the whole body. In addition, you do a short 10-minute ab workout every day. The training is more short and regular than long and irregular.
- For the exercise, lie on your back on a mat or thin rug.
- Bend your legs, press your lumbar spine firmly against the floor, and raise your head with your chin on your chest.
- Now stretch your arms straight next to your thighs and use them to make Fechel movements up and down. These should be short and quick. Breathe for approx. five fechel movements on and off again on five. The stomach is constantly tense, the back is flat and firmly pressed against the floor. You shouldn't be able to stick a finger between the lumbar spine and the floor, the pressure should be that tight. This way, your stomach is tightly tensed and your back is straightened.
- Breathe in and out 25 times, fanning one full breath at a time.
- Then take a short break and take another 25 breaths in this position.
In total you should take a hundred breaths, so four times 25 or five times 20 pieces. If it feels too difficult for you in a row, then split the exercise into two parts a day.
It doesn't take you more than ten minutes to do it, and if you use it every day, you'll see in a week already the first successes, after two weeks a clear improvement and after four weeks your stomach looks like one another.
Massage away the belly folds
- Regular plucking massages ensure that the skin is well supplied with blood and nutrients that enable cell regeneration. An olive or sunflower oil with essential lemon and lavender oil is particularly suitable for this.
- Lemon has a detoxifying and purifying effect and dissolves fat cells. Lavender ensures rapid skin regeneration and cell renewal.
- To do this, add 10 drops of lemon oil and 8 drops of lavender to 50 ml of oil. Shake the oil well so it mixes with the essential oil. Now rub your stomach with the oil and massage in circular movements clockwise around the navel. Then carefully pluck the skin of the affected areas until it turns slightly red and feels warm.
- You shouldn't be in pain, do this massage slowly and regularly once a day. This will visibly improve the elasticity of your skin within 10 days.
Remember, regularity is the surefire way to be successful. You can achieve a lot with little effort.
