A new study conducted at the Aga Khan University revealed that 86 percent of pregnant women in Pakistan spend most of their time watching TV instead of walking or exercising.
According to the information provided by the organization to the Voice of America, the lifestyle of 450 women was observed for this study. More than one woman was physically active during pregnancy, while only three percent of them were.
Those who exercised during pregnancy or allocated at least half an hour during the day for various sports. In total, the number of these women is 36 percent. While 86 percent of women said that most of their time is spent either in watching TV or in constant rest.
Pregnant women use stimulants with relaxation. Excessive use of drugs keeps them disturbed. Research has shown that a large number of women are completely unaware of the benefits of exercise during pregnancy. There is a very wrong idea about exercise in their minds that exercise can harm pregnancy.
According to the findings of the research, very few pregnant women are aware of how physical activity can play a role in the health and well-being of both mother and child.
According to the researchers, the main physical activities of pregnant women in general include housework and caring for the elderly in the household. All these physical activities are important, but pregnant women should be aware of the importance of exercise and should make time for exercise. Some women develop severe gas problems.
A stiff body also feels difficulty in breathing. The reason is that after breakfast they do not even walk for a while and women go to bed. Therefore, one should try not to lie in bed for two hours after breakfast and dinner, but one should keep doing something or the other, even if it is to make the bed. Pregnant women should do cleaning work after breakfast so that the body parts can move and their body remains fit.
According to the research of international institutions, it is necessary for pregnant women to exercise thirty minutes a day. Some women may be thinking about what kind of exercise should be beneficial for them and the baby. Walking is the best exercise for women. Women should definitely go for a walk in the nearby park.
Breathe in the fresh air which will not only keep them alert but will be very beneficial for the health of the child. Consult your physician before running or doing any yoga exercise activity as caution is required during the trimester of pregnancy.
Lifting heavy weights in the trimester can be dangerous, especially if you are not used to lifting weights. In this sense squats, wall push-ups are the best exercises. The University of Oslo study involved 814 children.
The study explored the relationship between mothers’ physical activity during pregnancy and children’s lung function. The study found that children born to physically inactive mothers were more likely to have lower lung function than children born to physically active mothers.
Weight gain during pregnancy is inevitable, but excess weight gain can harm your health and your unborn baby. Being overweight during pregnancy increases the risk of complications such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and the need for a C-section.
Daily exercise will help you stay active and fight fatigue during pregnancy. Since exercise strengthens the cardiovascular system, you won’t tire as quickly. One of the causes of fatigue during pregnancy is restlessness and lack of sleep at night. However, regular exercise will lead to deeper sleep and more rest.
