A large waistline is actually related to a crooked pelvis! Chinese medicine doctor Zhang Ruowei: 3 tips to slim waist easily

Many women are keen on body shaping and weight loss. They not only want slender limbs, but also dream of having a small waist. However, many girls have the same problem. No matter how hard they try to lose weight, it seems that it is still difficult to get rid of the fat around their waists, and their waist circumference even increases as they get older. Chinese medicine doctor Zhang Ruowei proposed 3 "thin waist" secrets, teaching you to train your waist and abdominal muscles in daily life, improve pelvic blood circulation, and develop a beautiful slim waist.

Pelvic tilt affects waist circumference, poor blood circulation leads to muscle atrophy

Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Ruowei pointed out that clinically, more than 70% of women have pelvic deviation problems, and the health of the pelvis directly affects the size of the waist circumference. This must start with the role and importance of the pelvis. The pelvis is located in the middle part of the human body. On the one hand, it bears the weight of the upper body, and on the other hand, it absorbs the force of walking of the lower limbs. At the same time, the pelvis supports the abdominal viscera and is responsible for protecting the blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves of the lower body.

For girls, the pelvis has one more important function than for men, which is to protect the uterus. When the menstrual period comes every month, the uterus discharges menstrual blood. If the menstrual blood is not discharged smoothly, it will cause the pressure in the entire pelvic cavity to increase, the surrounding blood circulation will deteriorate, and the muscles near the pelvis will gradually weaken.

If you don't train your waist and abdominal muscles, your pelvis will be crooked and it will be difficult to lose weight.

There are psoas major and iliacus muscles (collectively called iliopsoas muscles) around the waist and pelvis, which are part of the core muscle group and are related to maintaining body posture and pelvic blood circulation. If you do not exercise more on a daily basis, the pelvis will lose the ability to stabilize bones and joints, causing pelvic relaxation or expansion, and pelvic deviation is formed.

Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Ruowei said that the waist is located above the pelvis, so the size and shape of the pelvis will directly affect the size of the waist circumference. If you don’t strengthen the muscles around the pelvis and improve the blood circulation in the pelvis, it will be difficult to have a “thin waist” figure.

Train your muscles to improve waistline, 3 simple tips for slimming your waist

There are many ways to exercise your core muscles. Considering that modern women are busy with work and have limited time, Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Ruowei has proposed three relatively simple exercise methods that can be done on the way home from get off work or at home.

Tip 1: Walk 5,000 steps a day

Exercising more is the only way to promote blood circulation. You should exercise for at least 30 minutes every day, preferably gentle exercise such as walking, brisk walking, and jogging. If you really don’t have time to exercise, you can walk 5,000 steps a day instead. Office workers who take the bus or subway can get off one or two stops earlier to increase the chances of walking. During menstruation, you should rest more and stop exercising.

Tip 2: Use an electric blanket to warm your belly

In addition to exercise, it is recommended to use an electric blanket to heat the lower abdomen during work hours and when sitting at home for a long time to promote blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, keep qi and blood flowing, and make up for the lack of exercise. You can use an electric blanket that is about 30 cm wide and 60 cm long, and cover the lower belly below the navel. Apply hot compress for at least 30 minutes a day. There is no limit to the number of times, the more the better. It should be noted that hot compresses should not be applied after intercourse or during pregnancy.

Tip 3: Do pelvic floor exercises or rinse the perineum with warm water

The levator ani exercise involves contracting the muscles at the bottom of the pelvis, similar to the way you hold your urine when you are halfway through. When you contract the muscles, the pelvic floor muscles pull up against the inner wall of the vagina, causing the vagina to tighten. In addition, you can also rinse the anus or perineum with warm water while taking a bath to enhance blood circulation in the pelvic floor.

Sitting or standing for a long time can easily cause the pelvis to tilt. Moderate exercise can help you get a slim waist.

Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Ruowei reminds that women who sit or stand for long periods of time during work may easily suffer from pelvic distortion due to long-term fatigue and degeneration of their core muscles. Since both ends of the muscles of many core muscle groups pass through the pelvic cavity, if you can do more exercises such as anal lifting, walking, jogging, etc., the venous return will become better through the muscle contraction, the blood circulation in the pelvic cavity can be kept unobstructed, and the waist and abdominal muscles can also play a role, which can help reduce waist circumference and become a veritable "waist" beauty!
