Reducing belly fat after childbirth requires a comprehensive approach. It's important to maintain a balanced diet with adequate nutrition, avoid excessive intake of high-calorie and high-fat foods, and increase consumption of vegetables, fruits, and protein. Engaging in moderate aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, or yoga can help burn fat, strengthen muscles, and boost metabolism. Combining these with targeted abdominal exercises like sit-ups and planks can more effectively reduce belly fat. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits—such as getting sufficient sleep, keeping a regular daily routine, and avoiding prolonged sitting—is also key to losing abdominal fat. Most importantly, patience and persistence are essential; only through consistent effort can ideal results be achieved.
