Folic Acid - It's
not just for babies anymore!
How you treat your body is an
expression of love for yourself. Experts agree that taking
a multivitamin with the B-vitamin folic
acid keeps more than the doctor away.
It may help keep heart disease, strokes and some cancers
away too! And if you are at an age when you could have children,
folic acid can prevent a pregnancy from developing serious
birth defects of the spine and brain called neural
tube defects (NTDs). In fact, taking
a multivitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid everyday
can prevent up to 70% of neural tube defects. But to reduce
your pregnancy's risk of developing NTDs, you need to take
folic acid daily before you get pregnant and during the
earliest stages of pregnancy. Since over 50% of pregnancies
aren't planned, women should take a multivitamin every day--
just in case. Getting enough folic acid may take a little
effort, but it makes a big difference! Don't go a day without
it.
