A mother’s day rarely slows down. Between work calls, school schedules, household chores, emotional caregiving, and the endless mental checklist that comes with running a family, many women push their own health to the side. Meals are skipped. Water intake drops. Sleep gets compromised. Over time, the body starts responding with fatigue, mood swings, poor immunity, low iron levels, and constant exhaustion that no amount of tea or coffee seems to fix.This Mother’s Day, the conversation around mothers deserves to move beyond gifts and flowers. It is also a reminder that women need nourishment that supports their bodies through every stage of life. And that nourishment does not always come from expensive powders or trendy diets. Sometimes, it begins with the simple foods already sitting in Indian kitchens.Celebrity dietician and nutrition consultant Dt Simrat Kathuria says, “Women experience fatigue and develop weakened immune systems and practice unhealthy eating habits because they need to balance their professional responsibilities with their household tasks, their stress relief practices, and their caretaking duties. Proper nutrition enables people to maintain their energy levels, regulate their hormonal systems, build their immune system, and reach optimal health.”A balanced plate cannot remove stress completely, but it can help the body handle it better.
