Getting Back in Shape after Pregnancy is Not Just a Hollywood Tale

 

The past year has been an iconic one with an overwhelming number of celebrities, to our delight- becoming pregnant and delivering. We were all astounded to hear worldwide, household names such as Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik get pregnant and have their beautiful babies. Further this year, British girl group, Little Mix took the world by storm when two of their members, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock both announced that they were pregnant at the same time- and that their babies would grow up being best friends just like them! The babies, who have now arrived, are just what the public imagined- little angels! Not just them, Hollywood sweetheart and star of The Hunger Games franchise, Jennifer Lawrence also confirmed her pregnancy. Then, perhaps, the most intriguing pregnancy announcement of all would have been Kylie Jenner’s announcement that she is expecting her second baby wit Travis Scott after Stormi who stole all our hearts! Speaking of second pregnancies, award winning and outspoken star, Cardi B is also expecting her second child after cute little Kulture.

There is one thing all these celebrities have in common- not just these ones who has babies very recently but also those that have had many children before such as the beloved Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian and so on and so forth – they all look fantastic and absolutely beautiful, all ready to look glamorous on various Red Carpets, be it at the Met Gala, the VMA’s or the Oscars and Grammys! We have seen their figures go back to just the way it was almost instantly and they look happier than ever. Many women who are not Hollywood stars or runway models for the world’s most exquisite fashion brands have often looked at these A- list celebrities and have thought to themselves how on earth could they have possibly begun to look just like they did the day before they got pregnant.

Are you a brand-new mother looking for a way to get back your beautiful figure too? Well, it is not quite a secret that many celebrities go through tons of procedures and surgeries to back their bodies – and even manipulate them in ever way they wish to. However, in a practical sense, not every day-to-day woman is able to get a surgery done after every single pregnancy. There might be a different solution however, and while it may sound unbelievable it is one that is nothing but healthy and can only possibly help your body.

This solution is none other than MummyMagic Weight loss Tea by Secrets of Tea. A cup of tea can transform you back to who you were, in your slim, healthy and comfortable body. But before witnessing the solution, you must first understand the problem.

Why do you put on weight after a pregnancy?

·       The main answer for this, is of course, hormones. Through out your pregnancy, your body has been producing hormones which can help it regulate a larger body mass than before and after you give birth, your body still struggles to go back to the way it was after this massive change.

• ·       Another reason would be stress. Being a new mother puts your body under a lot of stress which can also trigger various hormones and muscles in your body to work towards increasing your weight.
• ·       Lack of sleep is another reason which is closely connected to weight gain. Having a new-born means your sleep schedule is non-existent. Even if you don’t have a baby to take care of, losing sleep has often been directly linked with gaining weight and this can be a reason for many mothers to put on weight even after they have given birth.

·       While breastfeeding causes you to actually lose weight, it is also possible that in order to facilitate breastfeeding or simply in general you may be consuming unhealthy food which won’t digest but remain in your body as fat.

Is weight gain after a pregnancy bad?

You may also wonder, is it completely necessary to have to worry about losing weight when you have other obligations you need to fulfil and a brand-new baby to take care of. Well, a little weight gain here and there is completely normal and healthy and at the same time, it is extremely risky to lose weight fast just after giving birth. However, if your weight gain is more than a just one or two kilograms and worse, if it is simply accelerating with no hope of reducing, it is risky for many reasons.

• ·       Firstly, there is the factor of your confidence and self-esteem, your body being one that has made a child, deserves to be beautiful and you deserve to feel beautiful. This is difficult when you have some uncomfortable weight to carry around unnecessarily.
• ·       Then there are the more serious factors. Weight gain, especially in women who have just given birth has often led to other illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, heart problems, cholesterol and so on. This is certainly not a future you would envision for yourself.

Therefore, it is important that after you have given birth to your precious little one, you must also take good care ofyourself and not forget yourself while involved in motherly duties.

What you can do for yourself

1.       Exercise

We have all heard that exercise is good for us, that is because it usually is. Being a new mother, there is no doubt that you are getting plenty of physical exercise. However, what might shock you is that such movement won’t always help you lose weight such as belly fat and fat in other areas which can truly contribute to you putting on unhealthy weight.

Therefore it would be quite beneficial to you to take a few minutes out of your busy day with the baby to focus on yourself and get some proper exercise. You must be cautious however, that you do not over do your workout. Since your body is under so much stress already, it would be too overwhelming to your body to undergo strenuous exercise. It is advised that you do some light cardio for no more than 30 minutes, perhaps engage in some cycling, jogging, swimming would be especially relaxing or else just some light yoga or Pilates.

2.       Maintain a healthy diet

 It is extremely important to eat the sufficient amount of food everyday. Three balanced meals and a few healthy snacks here and there would help you be the healthiest you can be. It is especially important that you eat a good healthy breakfast, foods like eggs, avocado toast, baked beans, oatmeal, yogurt, salmon with some carbohydrates such as bread would be a great breakfast for you and would also give you the energy you need to work through the day with your infant. Snacking on fruits such as blueberries, raspberries and bananas are a great way to keep that momentum going. Be mindful that you lunch contains plenty of proteins, which you might not have been able to catch up on at breakfast, chicken or tuna with rice or bread would be a great option. Then, for dinner, you can always have a good old steak or if you prefer something lighter a Greek salad or such would be advised.
