Introduction
Motherhood is a special journey—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Even during pregnancy, the body undergoes profound changes that require a great deal of energy. For the well-being of mother and child, a balanced diet, sufficient rest, gentle exercise, and conscious self-care are particularly valuable.
The basis for maternal well-being
Before and after birth, the body needs special attention. Hormonal changes, new sleep patterns, and a changed daily routine place high demands. These elements can help create a stable foundation:
-
Balanced diet: Colorful fruits and vegetables, protein-rich foods, and healthy fats provide important building blocks.
-
Gentle exercise: Walking, yoga for pregnant women, or light swimming can promote well-being.
-
Hydration & Rest: Drinking regularly and taking short rest breaks are simple but important steps.
-
Supportive environment: Partners, friends, or communities—whether online or in person—can provide mental relief and support.
Collagen as part of a varied diet
Some mothers incorporate collagen – for example from sea fish – as a supplementary component of their diet.
Hydrolyzed fish collagen is valued for its fine structure and can be easily mixed into drinks or meals.
Important instructions:
-
Collagen is a protein that naturally contains certain amino acids.
-
In the EU, no specific health-related effects are approved for food supplements containing collagen.
-
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should always consult a doctor before taking any dietary supplement.
Self-care for mother and child
Taking time for your own health isn't a luxury, but a form of care for the whole family. A healthy diet, small wellness rituals, and a stable environment help you experience this special phase of life with more serenity.
