For that reason the March of Dimes an organization dedicated to preventing birth defects recommends that women who are trying to have a baby take a daily vitamin supplement containing 400 micrograms of folic acid per day for at least one month before becoming pregnant.

#Vegetarian Diets Lower Blood pressure Best Scientists are reporting results today that might boil the blood of some people on the Atkin's and other low-carb diets:

Vegetarian diets were associated on average with a 6. 9-point drop in systolic blood pressure and a 4. 7-point drop in diastolic pressure.
to a diet with greater emphasis on fresh vegetables beans and whole grains. For some study participants plant-based diets lowered blood pressure better than did prescription hypertension medicine and without the medication's side effects.
Just a 5-point drop in systolic blood pressure applied on average across the United states would lead to a 9-percent drop in heart disease
The results are in accord with the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet which the USDA recommends for all Americans to lower the risk of many chronic diseases including obesity and diabetes.
but does emphasize a diet rich in vegetables and limited meat particularly red meats and luncheon meats.
