TAKE A FOLATE SUPPLEMENT DAILY

Folate has been shown to reduce the risk of severe birth defects such as spina bifida. Check your supplement label, if it says “folic acid” change to a brand that uses folate, L 5 methyl-tetrahydrofolate or 5 formyl tetrahydrofolate. These forms are more bio available in our bodies, and reduce the load on our liver. Recommended amounts for pre-pregnancy and pregnancy are 400-800 mcg of folate supplementation. Furthermore, you can get folate from eating plenty of high folate foods, like dark leafy greens, broccoli, brussel sprouts, asparagus, avocado, certain legumes, mangos, and oranges.

GET MOVING

Find whatever physical activity you enjoy and do it; you’re more likely to stick to it if you enjoy it! Moderate exercise is best. Follow our Instagram page to get workout tips on Fitness Friday.
