Your body after pregnancy
By Akanett Web Publishing

If you’ve ever had a baby before you probably know that your body after pregnancy is not going to be the same as it was before you became pregnant. Everything is not necessarily downhill from here on out, but it does admittedly become harder to look your pre-pregnancy best.

There’s a good chance that you won’t fit into your jeans anymore, just as there’s a good chance that it will take a miracle for you to fit into size ten jeans even again! Alright, so that was just defeatist but sometimes facts have to be faced, and one of these is that your body after pregnancy will not be the same.

Until and unless you do something about it you will more than likely retain some of the weight that you gained during pregnancy, not to mention a slightly pouchy stomach, which, it can sometimes seem, you can’t get rid of. This can be slightly disheartening of course, but only if you let it.

The best thing for you to do is to ditch the negative attitude and get a positive one instead. The first step to losing your post pregnancy weight, and to changing your body after pregnancy to be the one you want it to be, is to have a positive attitude. The second thing that you need, is a little realism.

Unless you have loads of money to throw around, you are not going to be able to achieve the body you want within a few months of giving birth. It will more than likely take you about the same amount of time to lose the weight, that it took for you to put on the weight. Or in other words, you can look to go by the rule of “nine months on, nine months off”, simple yet effective, not to mention realistic.

Once you have gotten this down firmly in your head, your next step to reshaping your body after pregnancy is to pinpoint a healthy plan that you can realistically carry out. There is no use in formulating a plan that is fantastic if you are not going to be able to carry it out on a daily basis.

The next thing you want to do to reclaim your body after pregnancy is to get a good exercise routine going. It doesn’t have to be anything too strenuous, just something that makes you move around a little so that your muscles don’t atrophy from staying in the same place all the time! Before you begin on this course of action, you should ideally consult with your doctor as to when you should start to exercise.

And when you finally have all of these down pat, when you have your healthy plan, when you have your gentle exercise regime, and when you have found the determination to follow through with it, you can take a small nap from the exhaustion of planning how to reclaim your body after pregnancy.

The fat in the abdominal area functions differently than fat elsewhere in the body. It has a greater blood supply as well as more receptors for cortisol, a stress hormone. Cortisol levels rise and fall throughout the day, but when you're under constant stress, the amount of the hormone you produce remains elevated. With high stress and, consequently, high cortisol levels, more fat is deposited in the abdominal area. This week's focus is on Yoga Asanas for Reducing Abdominal Fat. In fitness, Namita
Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
If you are have an hourglass figure, then you should be focusing on both cardio and resistance exercises. Cardio will assist in keeping your weight in check, while resistance exercises will help to maintain balance between your upper and lower body. Vary your repetitions and keep your resistance weights light so as not to build too much muscle mass. The best way to burn off excess calories or fat is through cardio-focused exercises, such as running, cycling and swimming for 30-40 minutes three to four times a week. Remember, adopting an exercise that you enjoy and eating healthy will help you feel good whatever your size.
Words of Inspiration
Believe in yourself: If I would leave any thought with someone I would say never doubt yourself. No matter what people say, no matter what you may think sometimes, never doubt yourself. If you believe in yourself you will succeed far more than you will fail. He who possesses a quiet kind of faith in his ability to perform a task already has the task half completed. Believe in yourself despite setbacks, despite the seemingly immovable obstacles, despite the cold and dark, despite the woe and pain, and eventually your faith will come to fruition, and you will find all those troubles behind you. The simplest thing in the world is to deride ourselves because we made a mistake, to give up and say, ""I'm no good"", but the more difficult thing is to believe in ourselves and constructively continue our life. The greatest error in life is to downgrade ourselves. There seems to be a self uncertainty that builds up in the mind every time one makes a mistake or fails to accomplish a task, and with every successive blunder the uncertainty grows stronger until one doubts one's ability to do anything right. Being human we are host to a number of frailties, each one of which disturbs and depresses us, and makes us doubt our worth. We are not a mechanically precise machine, we are a bundle of nerves which often tangle and get jangled, but are capable of amazing performance. We have more strength than we believe, there is more fight within us than we know, and far more potential than we could ever call forth or even dream of being possible.

Article of the Week: Yoga Asanas for Reducing Abdominal Fat
Yoga Asanas for Reducing Abdominal Fat: The most dangerous fat lies around the organs, deep within the belly. The fat in the abdominal area functions differently than fat elsewhere in the body. It has a greater blood supply as well as more receptors for cortisol, a stress hormone. Cortisol levels rise and fall throughout the day, but when you're under constant stress, the amount of the hormone you produce remains elevated. With high stress and, consequently, high cortisol levels, more fat is deposited in the abdominal area since there are more cortisol receptors there. If stress levels are high, Abdominal fat will increase. These exercises can help postmenopausal women to get rid of that intra-abdominal fat and in the process reduce their risk for some chronic illnesses. Pavan-Muktasan: Time: 1/2 minutes each leg. Method: Lie down on your back. Breath in. Then fold the left leg from the knees. Hold the fingers together and bring the folded leg to touch the stomach. Lift the head and touch the nose to the knee. The other leg remains straight. Hold the breath. Come to original position and leave the breath. Follow the same for the other leg. Note: This asana can also be done with both the knees folded. Benefits: Removes gas from the abdomen and reduces abdominal fat. Increases the flexibility of the knees and hips. Bhujangasan: Time: 1/2 minutes. Method: Lie on your stomach, forehead on the ground, hands under shoulders. Raise your upper body by the strength of the back muscles, head up. Don't take help of the hands, they may remain on the ground or held on the back over the hips. Benefits: Helps in keeping the dorsal spine elastic and strong.

Water Is The Most Important Nutrient

Water makes up about 60-70% of your body weight. Water helps to control the temprature of the body and serves a vehicles for moving nutrients to the different parts of the body. Fluid imbalance can lead to several problems in the body including weight gain.

Water Tips

Drink plenty of water. You body needs a lot of water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all.

Start your day with a glass of water. Drink a glass of cool water first thing in the morning. It is a wonderful way to start your day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast after that.

Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster.
