Personalised Nutrition for Every Stage of Motherhood

Postpartum recovery involves mental and emotional healing too. Food can be your medicine. I recommend Omega-3 rich foods like walnuts, magnesium from spinach and pumpkin seeds, and fermented foods like dahi to support a healthy mind.

Beyond physical healing, there's soul healing. Motherhood can shake your sense of self, but small acts of self-care like sleeping without guilt, sipping tea slowly, or eating mindfully are powerful ways to tell yourself that you matter.

If you are planning a pregnancy, it's important to focus on prenatal vitamins. I recommend including sources of folic acid like broccoli and eggs, iron from dates and pumpkin seeds, and omega-3s from flax seeds in your diet at least a month prior.

Anjeer, or figs, is a superfood I recommend for pregnant mothers. It's rich in iron to prevent anemia, high in fiber to ease constipation, and full of calcium for your baby's bone and teeth development. Just one soaked anjeer a day can be very beneficial.

For all the mothers out there, it's important to prioritize your own health. I always advise focusing on whole foods, getting enough iron for energy production, and never skipping meals to avoid nutrient deficiencies.

Many girls are experiencing periods at a younger age, which can be linked to lifestyle factors. I advise ensuring enough Vitamin D, avoiding packaged foods and hormone-fed dairy, staying active, and managing weight to support a healthy hormonal balance.

On International Women's Day, we want to emphasize the importance of women's nutrition. Women often juggle many responsibilities and neglect their own health, but eating well is crucial for energy, reproductive health, and overall well-being.
