Folate, Pre-Conception Wellness, and Baby’s Health
Listen to Dr. Adame talk about #FOLATE, #PreConceptionHealth, Pregnancy, and Baby Health. Click video below.
Folate is an important micronutrient, that helps development of the baby's "neural tube" in early pregnancy .
Inadequate levels of folate in the first 6-12 weeks of pregnancy increase risk of "neural tube defects" such as spina bifida to the developing fetus
Most women do not know they are pregnant in the first 6-12 weeks
I recommend nourishment with whole, minimally processed, plant-foods to prevent micronutrient deficiencies including folate before conception and during pregnancy
Spinach, black-eyed peas, whole-grain rice, asparagus, avocado, broccoli, and mushrooms are good sources of folate
Most women, even those who consume WFPB nourishment primarily, will not achieve neuro-protective folate levels without a supplement
I do recommend a prenatal vitamin with at least 400 mcg folic acid for any person who plans to conceive within the next two years
