Postnatal exercises
Once the baby is born, the woman wants to regain its previous rate ASAP. Therefore, we have included a section of exercises for the postnatal period.

But the nutritional status of mothers who cannot eat well is much worse than that of the mothers made a balanced diet. In short, what your body does not get through balanced nutrition to feed your baby, you will get.
Being well nourished will give you more energy, stamina and overall good just when you need it most: during his recovery from childbirth and in the following months. Caring for a baby requires a lot of energy and stay healthy will help you stay in shape.
A balanced diet: Eating well means eating proper portions for weight and height of the main food groups and avoid others, or at least eat them in moderation.
If you followed a nutritionally balanced diet during pregnancy, it is easy to continue eating this way. Because if you are breastfeeding need to add some calories to your diet, the recommended diet during pregnancy is very well adjusted to their needs because it gives those extra calories and contains sufficient calcium levels to remain stable while nursing her baby.
There are some traditional beliefs in our culture who believe that there are certain foods that should not be eaten during the quarantine because damage to the state of the matrix. According to tradition the postpartum period is a "hot" in which we must avoid things that are considered "cold." Although it is an ancient tradition, excluding fruits and vegetables from your diet is not a good idea during the postpartum period.
Your diet during the postpartum period should include: Vegetables, grains and cereals: lentils, beans, peas, rice, breakfast cereals, breads etc.
Vegetables (leafy greens, reds and yellows): spinach, broccoli, peas, carrots, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers etc.
Fruits (including citrus fruits because they are high in vitamin C): orange, strawberry, banana, apple, peach and so on.
Dairy: milk, yogurt, cheese etc.
Protein: Meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, nuts and so on.
Healthy fats (in very small portions): vegetable oils, margarine, mayonnaise, dressings etc.
Sweets and unhealthy fats such as lard or trans fats should be avoided or eaten only occasionally.
Eat healthier: An effective way to eating healthy is to insert small Amerindians or healthy snacks between meals. Three meals a day, three snacks, mid-morning, a snack and at bedtime will help you avoid hunger and keep your glucose levels more stable. Some examples of healthy snacks are a fruit with a yogurt, a slice of bread with some cheese or a handful of nuts with a natural fruit juice.
Moreover, a hearty breakfast and balanced is one of the best things you can do to start the day. It will give you energy when you need to arrive hungry and avoid the lunch hour. Include in your breakfast fruit, cereals, and dairy proteins.
And above all, watch your portions. Always close to a cup that is your standard measurement of food. A vegetable serving is one cup raw, cooked vegetables a half as a serving of rice or beans. In bookstores you can find food books to calculate how to measure portions of foods you like.
