Wood: Being active keeps me sane

Leah Wood says she'd go crazy if she didn't keep active.

The model - daughter of Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood and his soon-to-be ex-wife Jo Wood - recently gave birth to daughter Maggie and knows regular exercise has helped her get back to her pre-baby shape.

She said: "I'm lucky there - touch wood! But I've had to keep active for my own peace of mind. I've been swimming, walking in the park and just having time for myself and keeping my mind sane."

While she was pregnant with Maggie, Leah says she mainly snacked on healthy treats as they helped combat her morning sickness.

She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I suffered form morning sickness for the first couple of months. It wasn't too bad, though. I nibbled on oatcakes to help the nauseous feeling. I had cravings for natural, healthy things like mangos, peaches and healthy stuff. But the odd pancake also came into the occasion!"
