Want to be bionic? Eat organic!

An Australian company, Million Dollar Woman, has just released some interesting information: the average stay-at-home mum lifts over a tonne per day – and that’s just the baby!

The maths is simple: you have a 10kg baby and estimates show you lift her 90 times per day, that’s 900kg. Add in the normal daily routine and you’re well over a tonne!

That may not be surprising, but what’s clear is that since stay-at-home mums look like they’re auditioning for the roll of The Bionic Woman, then they’d better eat well to keep up their nutritional levels. What better way to be bionic that to eat organic?

Organic foods are shown to have a higher compliment of valuable vitamins and minerals than alternatives and they taste good too.

So it’s not just your baby that needs a pure start to life with organic baby formula and cereals, but you do, too, with good organic produce.

Since your baby is part of your enforced weight training, you’d better make sure you do it right! If you’re picking her up off the floor, bend your knees and then use your legs to lift as you stand up, not your back. You also need to be careful how you carry your baby. We’ve all walked around with a baby on the hip, but if you’re out and about and you don’t want to take the stroller, get one of those back or front packs that hold your baby safely and give your back and shoulders correct support.

So this is just another reminder of how tough you have to be to be a mum. And how mindful eating can give you the nutrition you both need to get through a tonne and work – and play.
