Fitness After Pregnancy By Exercise: What to Expect

By Aradhana Pandey.
When people tell you that things won't be the same after you become a mother, they aren't referring just to your life decisions and choices. They also mean to highlight the physical changes that are a part and parcel of motherhood. You enter this beautiful phase with the hope of making many lasting memories and bringing many positive changes in your life, but things may not be as rosy as you wish they'd be.

Sure being a mother will do a lot to enrich you as a person, but it may also pull down your spirits when you realize that your body's nothing like it used to be before. It may seem like a herculean task to get back your old body, but it's not entirely impossible, either. Here are a few body changes that you can expect immediately after pregnancy and ways to deal with them:

1. The Wait Before Exercising After Delivery - With the arrival of your little one, you may be so consumed in your motherly endeavors that getting back in shape may seem like a far fetched dream. As per many Ayurvedic doctors, it is best to start exercising 2-3 months after natural delivery and 4 months after cesarean section.
Hurrying up with exercise and other weight reducing activities may lead to –
a. Reduction of breast milk production
b. weak ligaments, less immunity and probability of uterine prolapse due to weak ligaments, after 40+ years of age.

How to Deal - 3 – 4 months after delivery, you can begin with low-intensity exercises like walking andkegel's exercise earlier, based on your doctor's recommendation. These exercises will expedite your recovery as well as the time taken for you to lose your pregnancy weight. The important thing before you begin a full fledged exercise routine is to listen to your body; wait until you think you've healed completely before you get on with a heavy-duty workout plan. While it is important for you to get back in shape, it is also important that you take care of your body..

2. Loosened Joints, Ligaments and Weakened Core -There's a reason doctors tell women to be careful with their movements during and after pregnancy. The activity of the hormone relaxin increases during pregnancy and continues even a few weeks after delivery. This hormone is responsible for widening of pelvis muscles and loosening of ligaments to help aid childbirth.

How to Deal - Practicing excessive stretching, or intense cardio workouts can worsen this problem. The best solution to ease it is by practicing strengthening exercises throughout your pregnancy and postpartum period. You can also take the help of stabilization belts to steady your hips and pelvis joints. If you experience separated stomach muscles (diastasis recti), practicing regular pelvic floor exercises, gentle stretches, and deep stomach muscle exercises will help reduce the size of the separation. You must also make sure to maintain a good posture after pregnancy.
Ad-

3. Incontinence And Prolapse - Don't be surprised if for a few weeks even after delivery you experience a little leakage while coughing, laughing, exercising or sneezing. The activity of the hormones relaxin and progesterone along with the weight of the baby on the pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy are the primary causes of incontinence and prolapse. It usually takes between a few weeks to a year for your body to recuperate.

How to Deal – Practicing pelvic floor muscle exercises will help strengthen the muscles around your bladder, vagina and back. These exercises help reduce the incidence of leakage (incontinence) and sagging of the uterus (prolapse).

4. Belly Pooch - Your belly is that part of your body which is most impacted by pregnancy. Your once flat and taut belly turns wiggly and flabby during pregnancy and may remain that way for a couple of months even after pregnancy. It takes up to six weeks for the uterus to contract to its original size that may help decrease the size of your belly.

How to Deal - Practice deep breathing stomach exercises that will help you tone your stomach muscles. Opt for abdominal crunches after 3 – 4 months after delivery. Avoid it within first 3 months, as they can further increase the gap between stomach muscles if you have diastasis recti.

Sagging Breasts - Another common body change that you may experience while nursing owing to hormonal fluctuations is expansion and sagging of breasts.

How to Deal - Exercises like push-ups, chest presses, and chest flies help tone the muscles around the breasts and lift them. Make sure to check with your doctor before your try these exercises.

In an attempt to get rid of your pregnancy flab quickly, don't opt for extreme measures like crash diets. This will only deprive you and your baby of essential nutrients and can turn out to be hazardous for both of you. Give yourself enough time to recoup from the pregnancy before you turn on the weight loss mode, full throttle. Breastfeeding can also help you lose some weight and burn up to 300 calories per day. Avoid starting any exercise plan without consulting your doctor. If you experience symptoms of postnatal bleeding, vaginal discharge (lochia) and infections, rush to your doctor without any delay. Remember, you need to stay healthy not just for yourself.

Action points – step by step guidance:
Listen to your body, consult your doctor and decide when exactly to start your fitness routine.
Start with walking and very minor exercise for first 2 weeks.
Pelvic floor muscle exercises along with walking and stretching for next 2 weeks.
Chest and upper arm exercises, Pelvic floor exercises, walking / jogging stretching for next 2 weeks.
Abdominal crunches, chest exercises, pelvic exercise, walking / jogging
Full fledged exercise routine of minimum 30 minutes per day, 6 months after childbirth.

[www.keralites.net] : What Makes Guggulu An Amazing Remedy For High Cholesterol

What Makes Guggulu An Amazing Remedy For High Cholesterol

Found your cholesterol levels too high?

Sworn to switch onto a diet rich in soy proteins, fiber, almonds and other cholesterol lowering foods? Well, along with the above steps here comes another rescue medicine from Ayurveda that you must know.

A yellowish gummy resin is produced from the Mukul Myrhh tree called Guggulu (Guggul) that has a remarkable cholesterol controlling action. Guggulu is an extensively used Ayurvedic herb.

Guggulu is an amazing herb used in Ayurveda to scrape off toxic deposits from the joints and tissues.

What are Triglycerides?

Fatty compounds that circulate in the bloodstream and get stored in the fat tissue are called as Triglycerides (TG). Individuals with a condition called hypertriglyceridemia (who have elevated blood levels of TG) appear to be at an increased risk of developing heart disease. Standardized guggul extracts are available for lowering elevated serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

How Guggulu works

Guggulu in Sanskrit means "one that protects against diseases" and it has been considered a very important herb for many disease conditions. It contains resin, volatile oils and gum. It has ketonic steroid compounds which are known as guggulsterones. The compounds E- and Z-guggulsterones are responsible for lowering LDL and VLDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, by approx 25%. It also simultaneously works to raise the HDL levels. Through both these activities it helps prevent atherosclerosis (clogging and hardening of blood vessels). An additional benefit of Guggul is that it reduces the stickiness of the blood platelets. This benefits by lowering the risk of Coronay Artery Disease.

The Use of Guggulu

Traditionally, guggulu is used in a combination with different herbs to enhance its effects. It detoxifies the body while removing excess Kapha from the body. It is hot in nature and is excellent for vata conditions. It is contradicted or unsuitable in pitta conditions. Therefore, people with high pitta must use guggul mixed with some other herbs and not take it alone as a medicine.

How to Take Guggulu Safely

Daily recommended dosage of guggulu is based on the amount of guggulsterones present in the extract. Common intake of guggulsterones is 25 mg three times per day. Most extracts contain 2.5–5% guggulsterones. It can be taken for 12-24 weeks daily in order to reduce high cholesterol and/or triglycerides.

Purified guggulu can be taken for a long time without any ill effect. Guggulu if not purified has side effects like diarrhea, upset digestion, burning sensation in the stomach and skin irritation.

There are possible drug interactions and side effects with the use of guggulu. Hence it is advised to speak to your doctor before starting to take this supplement. If you plan to take guggulu anew, mention it to the doctor specially if you are on a prescription medication for high cholesterol.
