Eating Smart during Pregnancy  

The brain  represents only 2% of our total body weight but consumes roughly 20% of the calories you take in. The brain is sensitive to how much you eat.

It starts in the womb. Much of brain development occurs during pregnancy as the fetus is rapidly growing inside the mother. This is why doctors work with expectant mothers to assure adequate intake of vitamins and appropriate foods. During pregnancy the deficiency of folic acid - also known as Vitamin B9 - is associated with brain and spinal cord defects. The developing brain needs a certain amount of vitamins, essential fatty acids, and amino acids to ensure proper development - and this need continues after birth as the brain continues to grow and develop during childhood.
