Dear Komal,
It has been two years since my daughter was born.
I still feel a lot of weakness.
The doctor has given supplements and I am eating normal food but I don’t feel strong.
What kind of diet should I follow to regain my health?
I eat both veg and non veg food.
Thank you
Shardha
Ans: A post-partum diet needs to be healthy to help you recover from childbirth.
Most women try to lose weight by following unhealthy diets that are lacking in essential nutrients. This leads to muscle loss and tremendous body weakness due to nutritional deficiencies.
Your diet must have good macro nutrients to support the growth of lean mass.
Opt for a high protein diet with protein-rich foods in every meal.
Avoid high carb and high fat foods as a quick source of energy.
Eat healthy vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grain cereals to increase immunity.
Follow a fitness regimen that includes strength-training exercises along with cardio for muscle growth.
This will increase your endurance and build your lean mass.
