Postpartum Nourishment

This orange braised beef roast was chosen with postpartum recovery in mind. After birth, the body is repairing tissue, rebuilding blood supply, and restoring strength. Warm, slow-cooked meals like this one provide the nutrients needed that work without overtaxing digestion.

The long-braised beef offers highly bioavailable protein, iron, and zinc, which support wound healing, collagen repair, and energy replenishment. Slow cooking breaks down connective tissue into gelatin and collagen, making the meal easier to digest while supporting joints, ligaments, and pelvic floor recovery. Fresh orange juice and slices provide vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption and plays a key role in tissue repair and immune support. The gentle aromatics and herbs support circulation and digestion without being stimulating or inflammatory. Served warm, this meal is especially supportive in the first days postpartum when the body benefits from grounding, mineral-rich foods that promote healing and rest.
