Folate is widely found in fruits, vegetables and meat foods and plays an important role in the health of pregnant women and newborns.
1. Prevention of anemia:
The most common anemia in pregnant women and newborns is megaloblastic anemia.
Fetal development requires the consumption of a large amount of maternal folate reserves. folate deficiency will lead to megaloblastic anemia, but it can be recovered after supplementing sufficient folate;
2. Prevention of neonatal malformations
Folate is one of the essential vitamins to promote cell growth and reproduction.
Lack of folate can cause neural tube malformations such as anencephaly, spina bifida, encephalocele, and congenital birth defects such as cleft lip and palate.
Scientific studies have shown that adequate folate supplementation before and after pregnancy can greatly reduce the incidence of the above diseases;
3. Prevention of chronic diseases and inflammation
Folate supplementation is helpful to reduce the content of homocysteine.
Folate has certain significance for the prevention of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
