After having a baby, maintaining a nutritious diet that includes lean protein, whole grains, fresh produce & of course water, is vital for healing and recovery because:-
đThe food we eat is literally the building blocks the body uses to repair muscles and tissues
đWhat you eat can affect your energy levels and mood.
đIf youâre breastfeeding, youâll need adequate nutrition so your body wonât deplete your own nutrient stores in order to make breastmilk
It can be tricky trying to eat nutritious meals especially in the first few weeks postpartum when energy levels are low.
Some ways to make it easier are:-
đ„ŠBatch cook meals and freeze them
đ„ŠBuy prepared foods or ingredients that are pre-chopped ready to cook
đ„ŠDo an online food shop
đ„ŠTake up friendâs and family memberâs offers to help and ask them to batch cook some healthy meals
