Diet and Nutrition
Does the word “diet” immediately make you think of an unpleasant weight-loss regimen? If it did, you are probably not alone. For example, consider the use of the term “diet” in marketing food products—it usually describes foods low in calories.
But there is another meaning of this word. Diet can also refer to the food and drink a person consumes daily and the mental and physical circumstances connected to eating. Nutrition involves more than simply eating a “good” diet—it is about nourishment on every level. It involves relationships with family, friends, nature (the environment), our bodies, our community, and the world.
Diabetes Diet
A diabetes diet simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes.
A diabetes diet is a healthy-eating plan that’s naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables and whole grains. In fact, a diabetes diet is the best eating plan for most everyone.

Post Pregnancy Diet
Motherhood is a beautiful journey but it brings along its own set of challenges, especially for a new mother. As a new mother is coping with a lot of physical and emotional changes while taking care of your Newburn, you need adequate rest and a healthy diet to recover.
Losing those pregnancy pounds might be at the front of your mind. But there’s something that’s even more important for your body after your baby arrives: eating foods that give you the energy to be the best mom you can be.
Routinely eating healthy foods throughout the day will maximize the little energy you probably have as a new mom. If you’re nursing, the quality of your breast milk stays pretty much the same no matter what you choose to eat. But there’s a catch: When you aren’t getting the needed nutrients from your diet, your body will provide them from your own stores. So, make sure you get all the nutrients you and your baby need. It will benefit both of you. To know more about post pregnancy nutrition plan, talk to us today.
