I read it in numerous articles that taking 400 micrograms of Folic Acid before one gets pregnant is important in preventing defects of the brain and spinal cord. I guess it is also important to have them while you are pregnant to prevent preterm delivery, low birth weight and poor fetal growth.

I know this can be easily achieved by taking prenatal vitamins, but if you want to also try a more natural approach, here are some foods that will help you intake folic acid.

Basic food that we probably have on somewhat of a daily basis..

- Fortified breakfast cereal

- Orange juice

- Tomato juice

- Whole wheat bread

- Eggs

- Bananas

- Pasta

Here are some others that you might want to try on occasion:

- Broccoli

- Asparagus

- Spinach

- Avocado

- Turnip greens

- Papaya

- Blackeyed peas

- Cantaloupe

Okay, i know, you gotta eat healthy before the baby comes. Hell, you gotta eat healthy all the time. Lets reason this out though, we are only on this earth at most 47450 days, and that is if you live to an unnatural and never accomplished 130. Yeah, here is your shock of mortality. I bet you never thought of that particular number before it is a bit scary of how low it is, isn’t it? So being the bearer of bad news here’s how you are going to make those days the best ever…

West Side restaurants that you must!!!!!! visit.
