Weeks Later, and You Still Look Pregnant!
Your new baby has brought joy to your life. Now, if you could just get rid of those excess pounds! An article from Science Daily says:
By studying data from six different trials that involved a total of 245 women, a group of Cochrane Researchers found that women who did exercise did not lose significantly more than women who have a standard post-natal lifestyle. However, women who combined exercise and dieting did lose more weight than those with normal care.

"As well as helping reduce body weight, exercise has the added advantage of improving the women's cardiovascular fitness and preserves fat-free mass - dieting alone reduces fat-free mass,"
says Amanda Amorim, an epidemiologist working in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, writing in SpiritIndia.com.
