EAT HEALTHY

LOUII Engelbrecht, a health coach and dietitian, says when it comes to diets, mothers should own their health at all times.

Although motherhood demands lots of energy, he suggests that mothers should, however, cut down on caffeine, especially for breakfast, as it can leave one with anxiety.

Eating small portions of the right foods and giving the body natural sugars and enzymes from fruit and vegetables, is also good for your body.

Feast on healthy foods such as veggies, chicken, Mediterranean stir-fry, omelets and grilled fish.

This will allow you to lose weight naturally, he says. a mix of fun activities not only leaves mothers happy and fulfilled, but can ensure that their lives have balance, too.

Tyrone Edgar, clinical psychologist at Premier Health Centre in Joburg, says its vital moms prioritise their well-being by keeping active, eating healthily and getting enough sleep.
