Eating foods rich in folic acid during pregnancy supports the reduction of NTDs in the developing fetus?
True
False
This statement is correct because folic acid, a B vitamin, plays a vital role in preventing neural tube defects (NTDs) such as spina bifida and anencephaly. NTDs occur early in pregnancy, making it important for clients to increase folic acid intake even prior to conception and during the early stages of pregnancy. Nutritional sources of folic acid include fortified foods, supplements, and natural options like leafy greens. Educating clients about the recommended daily intake of folic acid helps ensure proper fetal development. It is important to explain that other nutrients, such as calcium and iron, serve essential roles but are not associated with preventing NTDs specifically.
