Can long-term waist binding really reduce belly fat? The consequences of long-term waist binding

Waist corsets are a very popular online celebrity product in recent years, and are highly praised by many bloggers. Many female friends also buy and wear them. Can long-term waist corsets really make your belly smaller? How much do you know about waist corsets?

It depends on the situation. A corset is an auxiliary body shaping tool. Wearing a corset for a long time will tighten the waist and abdomen, which will reduce appetite and reduce food intake, which will have a certain effect on slimming the abdomen. But it is not necessarily the case. If you do not control your diet while wearing a corset and eat a lot in a day, there will be no obvious effect even if you wear it for a long time. Since wearing a corset for a long time has many hazards, if you want to lose belly fat, it is recommended to find other healthy ways, such as doing plank support, sit-ups, crunches, etc.

1. Continuous damage to internal organs. It hinders the normal physiological functions of internal organs. For example, it hinders abdominal breathing and gastrointestinal function, and affects the discharge of food from the stomach to the intestines. If you wear a belt to tighten your waist for a long time, it will not only affect the natural opening and closing of the lungs, but also cause the abdomen to be hindered by the waist for a long time, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to various organs throughout the body, affecting the growth of height, and causing various problems, such as headaches, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. Waist corsets can also affect the digestive function of the human body, because waist corsets cannot make the intestines move normally. When they are hindered to a certain extent, the food eaten cannot be completely digested, resulting in indigestion, which seriously affects the health of our body and also affects our body's absorption of various nutrients.

2. Rib deformation. In the 19th century, there were many deaths caused by corsets in Europe. The ribs were over-compressed, which punctured the liver. The most typical scene reflected in the movie is the heroine Scarlett in Gone with the Wind, who grabbed the bedpost tightly and asked the maid to help her corset her waist to be thinner.

3. Cause uterine displacement. An article pointed out that for people who squat to do things or cough frequently, wearing a waist binder will increase abdominal pressure and loosen the tissues around the uterus, which can sometimes lead to symptoms of uterine displacement and prolapse, so try not to wear a waist binder.

4. It will block the blood circulation of the waist, thus affecting the insufficient blood supply to the human body and even affecting the growth of height. Over time, it will lead to a decline in human memory and dizziness. Especially for women who often work standing up, such as salespersons, barbers, textile workers, etc., excessive waist binding will squeeze the abdominal blood vessels and block the return of venous blood in the lower limbs, thus causing varicose veins in the lower limbs, which will not only affect the appearance, but also cause swelling and numbness in the lower limbs. In addition, once the lower limbs with varicose veins are injured, the wound heals much slower than normal people.

No. Although wearing a corset all the time can achieve a good waist-slimming effect, it will severely compress the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys and other abdominal organs, affecting their functions. In severe cases, it may cause low back pain, kidney atrophy, gastroptosis, infertility and other diseases. At the same time, wearing a corset all day and night will affect diet, breathing and gastrointestinal digestion, which may easily cause dizziness, constipation and malnutrition. Therefore, the wearing time of the corset must be controlled.

1. It is advisable not to wear it for more than 6 hours a day.

2. Wear it mainly during the day and be sure to take it off at night to avoid affecting your sleep.

3. Take it off before meals and tie it again half an hour after meals.

4. Wear the belt consistently for 3 weeks after delivery. If it feels loose, adjust it in time to make it tight enough to cover the excess fat as soon as possible. After 3 weeks, you can slightly reduce the wearing time of the belt.
