Birth defects are abnormalities in the structure or function of the baby at the time of its birth. These abnormalities may lead to physical and mental disability, and may even lead to the death of infants before their first birthday. If you understand the nutritional needs of pregnant women during pregnancy or necessary dietary supplements, these known tens of thousands of birth defects can actually be prevented.
Pregnant women are more common in the lack of vitamin B9, the more common folic acid. Jennifer, director of clinical nutrition at the Mayo School of Health Sciences in Rochester, Minnesota, USA, believes that lack of these vitamins in the mother’s diet can lead to neural tube defects in infants, such as spina bifida and anencephaly, because the fetus’s brain and spinal cord are usually pregnant. The first three months began to develop. In infants with spina bifida, the spine is not fully closed and can cause nerve damage and paralysis of both legs. Brainless infants and young children cannot survive because most of the brain fails to develop.
Therefore, sufficient folic acid should be obtained before and during pregnancy, especially in the first three months to prevent the baby from having neural tube defects. The recommended daily intake of folic acid for adults is 400 micrograms, and folic acid is found in many foods. High folic acid foods include green leafy vegetables, fortified cereals, orange juice, dried beans, peas, and fruits.
Another essential vitamin that can prevent neural tube defects is B12. For women, the recommended daily intake of vitamin B12 is 2.4 micrograms per day and 2.6 micrograms per day during pregnancy. Dairy products, meat, poultry and eggs are good sources of vitamin B12. Like folic acid, women need to add enough vitamin B12 before conception and during pregnancy to reduce their risk of neural tube defects. If your intestinal function is disturbed, it may hinder the absorption of vitamin B12. Similarly, those women who seldom eat or do not eat meat, eggs, and dairy products at all, can easily cause vitamin B12 deficiency.
Jennifer believes that women with single or dietary diets may also develop neural tube defects in babies because the baby's various nutrient requirements are so high that the mother's caloric intake is very important.
