After childbirth, many women have trouble getting back the body they had before, and it's especially the belly that's a problem area.

Drinking warm water will help a lot with losing belly fat, and you can add lemon to it. We therefore recommend drinking two cups of warm water before each meal to get results.

Ginger herbal teas will also be beneficial, as will soups to which you add ginger.

In addition, drinks like lemon juice with honey, with chili pepper as well, or celery juice will help with fat reduction.

Furthermore, vinegar could help with losing belly fat, however be careful if you are breastfeeding.

Pregnancy

Ginger is the go-to natural remedy for pregnancy nausea (J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med, 2022) (J Am Board Fam Med, 2014); dates in late pregnancy help facilitate labor (Explore, 2021); iron and folic acid levels are monitored (Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 2023). Precaution: many plants are not recommended during pregnancy (essential oils, hormonal plants, purgative plants, fenugreek) — do not take any supplement without the advice of your midwife or doctor.
