After 9 months of being pregnant, you may have gained some additional ‘baby weight’ caused by cravings and less exercise (and eating for two). Certain muscles may have also been weakened by the process of childbirth (i.e. pelvic floor muscles).

Exercising can help you to lose the baby weight and strengthen weakened muscles, while also being good for your mental health.

That said, you need to be careful of which exercises you do - especially straight after giving birth.

However, we all lead busy lives, and it’s easy for good food to end up at the bottom of our priority list. Maybe you dislike cooking, or perhaps it’s time, money or energy that stops you from eating as you should.

While takeout can be delicious, it’s expensive and often unhealthy.

But, if you know you don’t cook as often as you should and would like to put more energy into cooking as healthfully as possible for your family, then be sure to read this week’s blog for some ideas to help make things quicker, easier and better on the packet-book.
