A. Since you are a mother and likely breastfeeding or managing your postpartum recovery, your diet should be nutrient-rich to support your energy, immunity, and milk supply (if breastfeeding). Here's a suggested food plan for you: 1. Protein-Rich Foods (For Strength & Recovery) ✔ Dals, legumes, sprouts (moong dal, chana, rajma) ✔ Eggs, fish, chicken (if non-vegetarian) ✔ Paneer, tofu, curd, cheese ✔ Nuts & seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia, flaxseeds) 2. Iron & Calcium-Rich Foods (For Bone & Blood Health) ✔ Leafy greens (spinach, methi, amaranth) ✔ Dry fruits (dates, figs, raisins) ✔ Sesame seeds, ragi, makhana ✔ Milk & dairy products 3. Healthy Carbs (For Energy & Digestion) ✔ Whole grains (millets, oats, brown rice, whole wheat) ✔ Sweet potatoes, bananas, pumpkin ✔ Homemade multigrain chapati/paratha 4. Fruits & Vegetables (For Immunity & Digestion) ✔ Seasonal fruits (papaya, guava, oranges, pomegranate) ✔ Vegetables (carrots, beets, cucumber, lauki, tori) ✔ Coconut water, buttermilk, fresh fruit juices 5. Good Fats (For Hormonal Balance & Baby’s Brain Development) ✔ Ghee, coconut, avocado ✔ Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds ✔ Olive oil/mustard oil for cooking 6. Hydration & Detox ✔ 8–10 glasses of water ✔ Herbal teas (jeera, ajwain, fennel tea for digestion & milk supply) ✔ Soups, homemade fresh fruit juices Avoid: ❌ Excess sugar & processed foods ❌ Too much tea/coffee (reduces calcium absorption) ❌ Junk & deep-fried foods
