Postpartum moms are finding that their skin is sagging, they are starting to lose hair, fat tends to hoard, and even fine lines are starting to appear around the eyes from all the hard work of bringing up a baby. Are these short-term phenomena caused by babywearing? Or are we just aging after giving birth. Is it possible to have a better body after giving birth than before? Is there a way to stay young forever? Today we will discuss this in detail.

01Is it true that you age after giving birth?

American postpartum aging scientific research shows that postpartum mom’s body chromosome telomeres will be shortened by 4.2%, which is equivalent to the body cells to accelerate the “aging” of 11 years. Chromosome telomeres will follow the increase in age, as well as cell division will become shorter and shorter, that is, the human body in the gradual “aging” of a body signal. The more children you have, the shorter your telomeres will be. As the telomeres shorten to a certain point, the body’s chromosomes can no longer replicate and the cells begin to age. But we have to understand that this kind of aging is not an aging of life expectancy, but an aging of the body’s state. So it’s true, you really do age after giving birth. Many postpartum moms feel the changes in their bodies.
