Appropriate postnatal nutrition is vital in building optimum health and vitality after giving birth. As new mothers following a manic timetable, often breast feeding and on limited sleep it’s easy to grab what ever is available and 9 times out of 10 it’s the wrong thing. You need to make the right choices to keep the body fuelled and energised for the demands of motherhood.
Eat small frequent meals to get your metabolism burning at full capacity, become familiar with the gylcemic index (GI) consuming low GI based oods, clean fresh mostly organic or free range produce.
Consume your daily essential fatty acids, such as fish oils, nuts and seeds and become familiar with the super foods, rich in antioxidants, multivitamins and goodness and try and include a variety every day.
Our bodies are very smart machines and will tell us how it feels after each meal and responds to certain foods. Learn the signs that your body tells you and remember, you are what you eat.
