It is crucial for women to take acid supplements before pregnancy!

　　This benefit comes from the relevant departments using special subsidies from the central government to implement folic acid supplementation to prevent births nationwide starting this year. baby nerve Manage defective items. The project requires that by the end of 2011, the target population's awareness rate of folic acid supplementation knowledge will reach 90%, and the folic acid taking rate will reach 90%.
　　
　　At the same time, Xiaoli also noticed something news : The latest medical research in Ireland shows that although folic acid supplementation is very important for some people, most Irish people already consume enough folic acid through their daily diet, and excessive folic acid intake will increase the risk of disease. cancer risk.
　　
　　To supplement or not to supplement, the little beauties of childbearing age are undecided.
　　
　　Judging from the experience of countries around the world, folic acid supplementation is a beneficial move that fundamentally improves the quality of births. The introduction of my country’s “acid supplementation” policy shows that the country pays more attention to the national healthy Quality and nutritional needs, the public's nutritional welfare level is being comprehensively improved, which is undoubtedly a good thing. In many places, there are indeed many women of childbearing age who are ignorant of the dangers caused by folic acid deficiency. But to do good things well, we should also be more targeted and avoid "one size fits all".
　　
　　Folic acid is vitamin B12. If there is a lack of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet, it will lead to folic acid deficiency. Lack of folic acid in pregnant women can cause fetus Neural tube malformations, such as common anencephaly, etc. Due to limitations in eating habits and living environment, insufficient folic acid intake does exist in some areas, but this does not become a reason for all women of childbearing age to "supplement acid" uniformly. After all, in many places, there is an abundant supply of fruits and vegetables, and people can get folic acid from their diet. Moreover, people's physical conditions and dietary structures vary widely, and the lack of targeted collective "acid supplementation" is not only unhelpful, but also harmful.
　　
　　“"Excessive supplementation" has been learned from the past. The questions and reflections caused by the national calcium and iodine supplementation indicate that excess and deficiency of nutrients are equally harmful. Without accurate information on the nutritional status of the public, decisions will inevitably be biased. It is necessary to popularize the knowledge of folic acid, but in the absence of accurate information on physical examinations for women of childbearing age, all "supplementing acid" will not only cause unnecessary waste, but may also mislead the public about self-care. This triggered the public to take folic acid supplements voluntarily, thus creating new health risks.
　　
　　Our country is one of the countries that attaches great importance to public health and welfare. In an era of material scarcity, it is difficult to ensure public nutrition and nutritional deficiencies are highly prevalent. Nutritional "big pot rice" once served to eliminate this type of disease He has made significant contributions and has been recognized and supported by the people. China, which once accounted for 40% of the world's iodine deficiency patients, has basically eliminated the public health problems caused by iodine deficiency diseases through the promotion of iodized salt.
　　
　　However, with the improvement of people's living standards and the increasingly reasonable diet structure, the "big pot rice" lack of targeted and personalized nutrition is no longer suitable. Continuously improving the public's awareness of self-health, helping the public understand their own nutritional needs, and providing targeted supplement consultation and guidance are becoming more and more people's new needs for public health welfare. Our country has a vast territory, with great differences among regions. People have different dietary preferences, resulting in both undernutrition and overnutrition. Without scientific physical examination data, it is difficult for the public to know exactly whether their nutritional intake is insufficient or excessive. This relies on relevant departments to conduct nutritional surveys in each region, provide the public with timely and effective basic information, and provide targeted nutritional "small pot meals". This is more scientific and safer than unified nutritional supplements.
