André Martinelli reveals how he recovered after umbilical hernia surgery and surprises with a new healthy lifestyle

On the 12th, André Martinelli underwent umbilical hernia surgery, the only treatment indicated for the bulging that appears in the navel region. Used to having a high-performance exercise routine, such as running and weight training, he now needs to spend some time without doing heavy training. It's clear that the former No Limite participant missed him a lot and decided to talk about what he did during the period.

“For me, who uses sport as a tool for well-being in my daily life, it was greatly missed. I meditated in the sun every day on my balcony in the morning. I read books, studied, and took the opportunity to replan my next steps. Now I can do some light exercises that help me a lot”, he comments.

He details: “For now, just walk, light bike, exercise on the elastic band. The good thing is that it's been almost 3 weeks off so far, it won't be difficult to get your conditioning back.”

The model did not undergo treatment to speed up the post-operative period, but changed her diet. “At first, I took pain medication, but I got better quickly. What I did was change my diet to real food, natural foods, supplements, and I avoided processed and multi-processed foods.”

He says he no longer feels pain. “Sometimes, I feel discomfort when I walk faster or make a sudden movement. I have to avoid lifting weights, moving quickly or straining my body too much.”
