If the psychological pressure of pregnant women is not relieved at this time, then the combined effect of psychological pressure and physical pressure will bring them a greater burden. Pregnant mothers should release stress in time and keep their mood happy in order to make their babies healthier.

01 The Importance of Stress Relief

The negative impact of stress on the body of a pregnant woman is very obvious, as she has to face a lot of changes, and various kinds of stress that are not relieved in a timely manner can bring serious consequences to her health. Increasing stress affects the absorption of nutrients by the pregnant woman and reduces the amount of blood to the placenta and the fetus, which in turn affects the development of the fetus. On the other hand, in the face of stress, pregnant women will easily give up their efforts to get rid of all kinds of bad habits, such as quitting smoking and regulating their dietary habits.

02 Ways to Relieve Stress

There are many forms of stress relief, and relaxation is a great option. There are also many ways to relax, and the main forms of relaxation include mental relaxation, exercise relaxation, and distraction.

The biggest effect of mental relaxation is to eliminate distractions and focus all your attention on the most important things. Counseling is the easiest way to relieve stress.

Exercise for Relaxation

Exercise is the best option for stress relief. Not only because of the obvious role of exercise in promoting physical health, it is also good for releasing mental stress. Simple exercises can help relieve physical stress. Exercise promotes the body’s production of endorphins and other feel-good hormones. You can consciously utilize some exercises to release stress. These exercises are not restricted by conditions and can be performed equally well even when there are uncomfortable symptoms occurring during pregnancy.

Distraction

This method is particularly good for eliminating fear or nervousness about a process, or for avoiding things in life that bore you. For example, if you listen to music, watch TV or movies, over time, you will subconsciously use distraction when you feel tense or stressed.

A few months or even six months from the birth of the baby, some mothers feel that one of the joints of the body will often be in pain, which is the common postpartum joint pain that many mothers experience after giving birth.

01Why are you prone to joint pain after giving birth?

1、 Nerve compression

During pregnancy, the pregnant mother’s body circulating water overall increase, the ligaments in the wrist and other places will appear edema, which makes the nerves innervating the fingers are compressed, so the hand will produce numbness, pain symptoms.

 

2, too early to do heavy physical activity, cold

If a mother who has just given birth engages in some housework too early or too much, or carries a child for a long time, or touches too cold water, it will lead to overburdening of joints, tendons and ligaments.

3, less activity during the month

Many mothers in the period of menstruation seldom activities, some even have been lying in bed not move, which will make the original heel of the fat pad becomes weak, greatly weakened its support for the weight and sports shock absorption effect.

02What to do for joint pain relief

I. Minimize the activity of the painful area and pay more attention to rest.

 

When mothers feel the pain in the painful area is obvious, they should stop or slow down the activity immediately.

 

Second, the painful parts of the hot compresses, or warm baths

The temperature of the hot compresses should be 40～50℃, or you can soak the painful part in warm water;

It is recommended that each hot compress be applied for 20-30 minutes. The temperature should not be too high, and the time should not be too long, so as not to cause burns, the specific temperature and time maternal can be adjusted according to their own acceptance;

I happened to review the classic Staxol commercial back in the day, and I was very impressed with the description of the bloated stomach segment in the commercial. A small person is seen constantly inflating a balloon in the stomach, so much so that the whole stomach keeps expanding, making people feel very uncomfortable. And this is also a common adverse symptom for many pregnant women during the process of conceiving life. When there is a new life in the stomach, the enlarged uterus will press on the stomach and intestines, affecting the digestive activities, which in turn will lead to symptoms such as flatulence.

01Manifestations of flatulence and its effects

A feeling of fullness and bloating in the abdomen before or after meals, as well as burping accompanied by a large amount of gas discharge, are specific manifestations of flatulence. In the early stage, it will lead to indigestion and loss of appetite. If not relieved in time, it will easily cause symptoms such as acid reflux, and in serious cases, it may lead to esophageal cancer and other malignant diseases.

02What can be done to improve

Due to the special body structure of pregnant mothers, the slow speed of gastrointestinal peristalsis can easily lead to indigestion, thus making them more susceptible to being targeted by this undesirable symptom. To get relief, it is best to do the following:

 

(1) Improve diet and drink more water

The root cause of flatulence formation is slow intestinal peristalsis and indigestion. Therefore, we can improve this symptom by changing our diet. Consume more fiber and avoid foods that tend to cause flatulence such as beans. Drink more warm boiled water after exercise or when resting. All of these can bring some relief to this symptom. Remember, never overeat. This will add to the already poor digestion of the stomach. If you are afraid that your infant is lacking in nutrients, you can supplement with a little more fruits and vegetables by eating smaller meals.

(2) Turn on the air conditioning to do a good job of abdominal warmth

If you choose to turn on the air conditioner in the summer to keep cool, make sure you do a good job of protecting your stomach. The stomach is a fairly sensitive part of the cool, don’t forget to cover it with a layer of protection, do a good job of keeping warm.

 

(3) appropriate exercise

If you want to effectively relieve the symptoms of flatulence, apart from drinking more water and improving your diet, you should also pair it with the right exercises to expel the flatulence from your stomach faster. Here are two simple exercises that you can do at any time when you are at home.

Pregnancy Yoga

Sit in a kneeling position so that your hips can sit between your legs and hold your hands toward the floor at the back of your body. To keep your body balanced. Slowly lay your body down. Lean back on a pillow. Adjust your body and choose a comfortable position to hold for 1 to 3 minutes.

 

Raise your arms above your head and hold your elbows together. Keep adjusting your breathing here. Hold for about three minutes. Slowly inhale and exhale. Relax both hands. Brace your hands on the floor and rise slowly. Straighten your feet, move your ankles and stretch your joints.

 

If you want to effectively improve this undesirable symptom, you can do the above measures!

Many people spend a lot of time daily to walk for fitness but not effective, but the body is getting worse and worse, this is why? Walking fitness to achieve results is based on the correct walking action, the so-called “sharpening the knife is not wrong”, many people just do not have the correct walking posture when walking. Below, let’s take a look at the most common types of wrong walking posture.

01kick and walk

In life, there are many people like to kick the road small stones, debris, etc., over time into a habit. When walking, they are used to kicking around with their toes, and their eyes tend to focus on their feet. This habit will not only make the shape of the thighs become unsightly, but also produce a great danger. Because the line of sight is focused on the feet, often do not notice the changes in the road, very easy to traffic hazards.

02stand on tiptoe

Some people will put all their body weight on their toes when walking and tiptoe with every step, making their toes too hard. This is too much exercise for the calf flounder muscle and lung muscle, which will lead to rotary leg and ankle bone wear.

03drag one’s feet on the ground

Some people experience feet dragging on the ground due to fatigue, excessive weight bearing, shin or knee injuries, and low thigh and calf muscle strength, where the feet are unable to make the transition movement occur in a timely manner. This can cause great wear and tear on the joints, muscles, and arches.

04Upper Body Swing

Some people like to walk when the upper body swaying, many people think that this is not only beautiful posture and also more relaxed. In fact, this posture on the lumbar bones have great wear and tear damage, not only that, but also increase the pressure on the knee joints. In the long run, the knee and lumbosacral joints will have different degrees of wear and tear, causing pain.

05bow

A few people can’t walk with a straight back, and keeping a sick walking posture for a long time will easily lead to hunching, decreased body balance, and sagging arm muscles. Containing the chest when the lung space is reduced, lung expansion is limited, oxygen exchange is reduced, breathing becomes short, cardiopulmonary function decline. Over time, breathing becomes shallow, and the breath is hastily exhaled before it enters the alveoli, which is not conducive to blood-oxygen exchange, and is prone to cause dizziness and a feeling of fatigue.

06without swinging one’s arm

Swinging your arms allows you to better balance the movement of your legs, keeping your body in balance as you walk, and also makes walking easier and less strenuous. If you don’t swing your arms, you will be easily unbalanced and use up more energy. The correct posture of swinging arms: arms hanging naturally on both sides, with walking, natural swing, swinging arms range between 30 ° ~ 45 ° is appropriate.

Correct and good walking posture is conducive to human health, can promote blood circulation in the limbs and brain, thus relieving brain fatigue. Walking, head up, chest, brain blood through the cervical vertebrae can be circulated and evacuation, so that the clear gas rise, turbid gas sinking, at the same time, the whole body of the meridians will also be with the bones and muscles together with the stretching and relaxation.

Many girls are infertile for a long time, there are menstrual disorders, shortened menstrual cycle, heavy and dripping menstruation, thin lining, dry and yellow skin, lack of passion, weakness, abdominal pain and even habitual miscarriage, we should consider whether it is not luteal insufficiency. We are all relatively unfamiliar with the “corpus luteum”, what is it, and how we should regulate it, we will talk about it in detail.

01What is the corpus luteum?

Normally, after ovulation, a hematoma is formed, which after a few days turns yellow and is therefore called corpus luteum. It is actually a “cell mass” formed by the remaining follicles and other cellular tissues after ovulation. It secretes the natural hormone progesterone. The corpus luteum is responsible for the endocrine function of the ovaries and is the main source of estrogen and progesterone after ovulation.

02What causes luteal insufficiency

After ovulation, the luteum is underdeveloped, does not produce enough progesterone, or degenerates prematurely, resulting in a decreased secretory response from the endometrium. The incidence of luteal insufficiency in women of childbearing age is about 3-10%. Insufficient or incomplete corpus luteum function is detrimental to embryo implantation, and even if the embryo does implant, biochemistry may occur.

03How to regulate luteal insufficiency

(i) Prompt medical attention:

Hospitals will usually provide direct luteal support, HCG injections; progesterone supplementation; and promotion of follicular development, depending on the circumstances. Inflammation is dealt with before pregnancy, with anti-inflammatory treatment, suppression of inflammatory factors, and vigilance during preparation for and pregnancy as well.

(ii) Food regulation:

① Intake of black beans as well as other soy products is recommended. Usually can drink some black beans made of soy milk, tofu and other foods, rich in progesterone and plant hormones, and easy to absorb and digest.

② recommended intake of peanuts, hazelnuts and other nuts, containing a large number of phospholipids, can effectively improve the quality of the body, but also can play a role in maintaining the skin.

③ can often eat some kiwi, figs, hawthorn, strawberries and other foods, can promote the secretion of estrogen in the body, regulate the endocrine, so that the body is more healthy, maintenance of the ovaries.

(c) Moderate exercise:

Girls with luteal insufficiency still need to do some exercise to improve their physical fitness and promote the function of the corpus luteum. But when exercising, you must pay attention to the difficulty and time of the exercise, and prohibit too intense exercise.

Appropriately reduce the amount of exercise. You can choose exercises that are performed daily and are easy to adhere to. For example, fast walking, jogging, yoga exercise, simple aerobics and so on. Be careful to reduce the amount of exercise and exercise time, relax, slow down, appropriately reduce the amount of exercise, play a role in relaxing the muscles, stretch the body, and appropriate sweating can be.

Choose low to medium intensity exercise. In the process of exercise, you can speak, but can not sing, is belong to the medium intensity of exercise. Especially belonging to the menstrual period is not recommended for jumping type of exercise, but also to avoid the inverted position in yoga, do not overdo strength training, so as not to increase abdominal pressure.

Finally, a small reminder, women should pay more attention to care for themselves. To pay attention to develop a good living environment, avoid overwork, while strengthening nutrition, maintain a good state of mind, do not eat hot and sour and stimulating food, drink more water and eat less fried food, maintain a good mood.

Sweets are loved by everyone, and the satisfaction it brings is not only on the tongue, but also activates a good mood, so sweets are also known as “sugar-coated bombs”. For gastric patients, not only hot pot, pickled these stimulating food can not eat more, sweets should not eat more.

01Why you should eat less sweets if you have stomach problems

It has been experimentally confirmed that 60% of the experimental rats with gastrointestinal diseases that were fed a large amount of sweets for up to 6 months had worsened gastroenteritis, increased the concentration of bile-loving bacteria in the intestines, and even evolved into ulcerative colitis. This also proves that excessive intake of sweets will make the gastrointestinal inflammation increase and worsen the condition. Therefore, the reason why you should not consume sweets when you are suffering from gastric problems is that sweets have the effect of inducing inflammation, and consuming too much of them will aggravate the disease.

 

Not only that, eating too much sweets will inhibit the production of stomach acid, which can cause some obstacles to the treatment of patients with indigestion, bloating and other symptoms.

 

Today we are targeting sweets that contain a lot of fructose, and fructose is divided into two kinds: one is a single-cell fructose; the other is a multi-cell fructose, such as candy, milk tea, chocolate we usually love to eat usually have sucrose, glucose and so on.

 

1. Pickled sweets

Many people think that pickled foods are pickled with salt, in fact, there are some foods in the production of the pickling process added a lot of sugar, so that the food tastes salty and sweet and delicious. This type of food contains a lot of salt, sugar and fat, if you take too much, in addition to cause obesity, but also may lead to indigestion, gastritis, thus affecting gastrointestinal health, so this type of food should not be eaten.

 

2. Cake

For people with gastrointestinal disorders, some cakes can’t be eaten as well, because many cakes have high trans fatty acid content. In addition to cause obesity, it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, preventing normal digestion and absorption, and even increase the burden on blood vessels, promote blood sugar rise induced cardiovascular disease, so cakes should also try to eat less.

3. Candy

Candy is extremely high in sugar content, even just one candy may affect the blood sugar steady, and every 100g of candy in the trans fatty acid content can be up to 0.8 grams or more, people with gastrointestinal diseases must pay attention.

02How much is the right amount to eat in a day for people with stomach problems

Although many patients recognize that they should reduce their intake of sweets, there should be a standard maximum daily intake of sugar in order to control it. For different gastric patients, there is a difference in the control of sweets.

 

Normally, an average adult can consume up to 50g of sugar a day. According to the reference standard suggested by the School of Medicine of Central South University, most gastric patients should consume less than 25g of sugar per day, which can be adjusted according to their daily diets.

Gastric patients are also accompanied by obesity and hyperglycemia and other complications, it is necessary to further limit the amount of sugar intake per day also need to be further reduced, can be controlled at about 15g. Of course, excessive intake of sugar is not conducive to health, just in the case of gastric disease, more attention should be paid to eat as little as possible.

 

In order to get well soon, a reasonable dietary arrangement is very important, in addition to sugar to limit, some heavy oil and salt will stimulate the stomach of other foods should also reduce the intake, to avoid worsening of the condition.
