Grape molasses: A plant-based source of iron and B vitamins that helps reduce the risk of postpartum anaemia. Almonds: Their magnesium and healthy fats help support muscle and nerve relaxation. Strawberries: Vitamin C boosts iron absorption, and as a fresh spring fruit they give your immune system a helping hand.
