A Healthy Diet During Pregnancy Can Help Prevent Birth Defects And Clefts. Diet is an important pad of pregnancy. Eat a healthy diet that contains lots of fruits and vegetables and foods
lortified with lotie acid. According to the U.S. Government, women who plan to tiave a child should be sure to take sufficient levels of folic acid (400 micrograms per day) during pregnancy to
help prevent neural tube defects and reduce the risk for deft lip and palate. When folic acid is taken one month before conception and throughout the first trimester, it has been proven to
reduce the risk for neural tube defects by 50 to 70 per cent. Be sure to receive proper prenatal care, quit smoking, and follow your health care provider's guidelines for foods to avoid during
pregnancy. Foods to avoid may include raw or undercooked seafood, beef, pork or poultry; delicatessen meats; fish that contain high levels of mercury; smoked seafood; fish exposed to indus
Irial pollutants; raw shellfish
or
eggs;
soft cheeses;
unpasteurized
milk;
pâté;
caffeine;
alcohol;
and unwashed vegetables.
