Post-natal nutrition plays a vital role in rebalancing your vitamin, mineral and
essential fat levels which will have been fully drawn upon during the pregnancy and
birth. For example zinc levels, which are greatly lowered by the demands of labour,
are heavily implicated in post-natal depression. You also lose iron through blood
loss; B vitamins are lost with all the energy expended and calcium and magnesium
stores are depleted by hours of contractions. These, plus many more nutrients must
be put back in to balance for you to regain optimum health and feel fantastic.
