Postpartum mothers should eat nutrient-rich foods to help postpartum healing and breastfeeding. These healthy foods can help you lose weight and improve your health:
Lean Protein: Eat chicken breast, turkey, fish, tofu, eggs, beans, and lentils. Protein repairs tissues, recovers muscles, and fills you up.
Consume a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables for vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. For satiety and health, fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables at each meal.
Brown rice, quinoa, oats, barley, whole wheat bread, and pasta are whole grains. Whole grains have more fiber and nutrients than processed grains, keeping you full longer.
Avocados, almonds, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish like salmon and trout are good fats. Essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals in healthy fats aid hormone homeostasis.
Choose low-fat or non-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese, or almond milk, soy milk, or coconut yogurt. Calcium and protein in dairy products help bones and muscles recuperate.
Herbal Teas: Chamomile, peppermint, and ginger teas improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and relax.
Instead of reducing calories or adopting fad diets, focus on eating a balanced and varied diet, especially postpartum. You should also listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues, get enough rest, and do modest physical exercise as your doctor advises.
