The Importance of Proper Waist Belt Usage: Avoiding Health Risks and Achieving a Slim Figure

January 20, 2024

Many women like to tightly tie their waist and abdomen with a waist belt in order to achieve a slender figure. However, this temporary body shape achieved by external force does not actually reduce the excess fat in the waist. It only temporarily hides it. This approach does not truly make you lose weight and can actually harm women's health, putting them in a very uncomfortable condition. Extreme discomfort can lead to various diseases. Therefore, it is very important to use a waist belt correctly.
 


 

The correct position to wear a waist belt is near the navel, and it should not be too tight. If the waist belt is too tight, it can cause symptoms such as poor blood circulation, mental tension, rapid breathing, chest tightness, and back pain. It can also affect the development of young people's bodies and worsen the condition of middle-aged and elderly people. It can also lead to hormonal imbalances and painful menstruation in women. Especially after a full meal, it is not advisable to tighten the waist belt, and when resting at home, the waist belt should be slightly loosened.

In today's fashion world, waist belts are mostly used as accessories. Many people now wear waist belts just for the sake of "wearing" them, which has become a symbol of trend. Therefore, we can notice that there are many clothes that do not need a waist belt, but exaggerated or eye-catching waist belts are still seen on those clothes, even giving a feeling of overshadowing the outfit.

Aside from the decorative role of a waist belt, when considering it as a waist belt in its original sense, there are many things to pay attention to when wearing it. If not done properly, it can cause functional disorders in the entire abdominal cavity. When we tighten the waist belt, organs such as the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, and uterus are squeezed by the intestines, resulting in a series of reactions after tightening the waist belt. The blood circulation of these organs will also be hindered, affecting the overall function of the abdominal cavity.

Many organs in our abdominal cavity are almost always "moving", and keeping them in a squeezed state for a long time will inevitably affect their function, leading to indigestion, loss of appetite, constipation, and other issues.

At the same time, there are many hidden dangers in tightly tying the waist belt, and hemorrhoids are one of the disadvantages of tightly tying the waist belt. Medically known as hemorrhoidal veins, these veins are distributed around the anus. When the abdominal pressure increases due to compression, the blood flow in the hemorrhoidal veins is obstructed and twists, forming hemorrhoids.

Therefore, the waist belt should not be too tight. There are many ways to achieve a slim figure without harming ourselves. For example: avoid sitting, lying, or lying down for long periods of time, especially after a meal. Remind yourself frequently: stand instead of sitting, and sit instead of lying down; pay attention to your sitting posture, standing posture, and walking posture, and always maintain an upright and contracted abdomen posture; do not relax the abdominal muscles; when standing for a long time (such as taking public transportation), consciously contract the abdominal muscles to move the abdominal fat, and persistently doing so will flatten the abdomen; in addition, regularly engage in full-body exercises, such as long-distance walks or jogging; in daily life, try to exercise more, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and develop good exercise habits to make your life full of vitality. "Life lies in movement", and exercise will benefit you for a lifetime; finally, develop good eating habits and avoid overeating.

Editor's reminder:

We can dress ourselves in a trendy and fashionable way, but this is based on good health. Comfortable fabrics and cuts are our top priorities when choosing clothes; secondly, when choosing clothes, pay attention to the height and tightness of the collar, there should be a certain distance between the upper edge of the clothes and the jaw angle, and the collar should not be too tight; the straps of bags should avoid the carotid artery; do not let the collar compress the neck. If you feel uncomfortable when wearing it, take it off in a timely manner.
