Tips to help a mother feel better

Begin each day with a hearty, breakfast. The benefits of a healthy breakfast are well known, especially one that is low in fat, high in fibre, and has a low glycemic index. When you eat, slow down, enjoy your food and chew it well. Eat a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and to not overcook them, as you will loose all the nutrients. Try to also include fish at least twice a week especially as the are high in Omega-3, which is also good for your skin. Limit your saturated fats intake by reducing the amount of sauces, gravies and margarine you use and trim excess fat from meats. Increase the amount of water you drink by aiming to have at least 2 litres a day. |

Maintain a daily exercise routine
Exercise when you can, even if you walk to buy some milk rather than take the car. You and your baby will enjoy it. Even 5 minutes at a time is better than nothing and you both get a change in scenery and fresh air.
Enjoy some relaxation
Take some time out to do what you like, gardening, meditation, tai chi, listening to music or reading a good book. It's important to take time out.
Relaxation of body and mind is needed to restore your energies and bring balance into your life.
