Health Tips for expecting fathers

May 9th 2008 00:02
Previous was mentioning about mothers and their proper diets, but do you know that to have a great pregnancy would take both sides to help out in order to produce a healthy baby?

I found this really interesting health tip advising dads to stay healthy too for the sake of their offspring, and how folic acid can help as well.

Pregnant women are advised to take folic acid supplements as it has shown to benefit babies by promoting foetal development and preventing birth defects like Spina Bifida and Anecephaly (a serious form of brain damage).

However, a recent study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley, shows that men with lack of folate in their diet may have chromosomal abnormalities in their sperm. Such abnormalities can result in congenital defects like Down syndrome and learning disorders in the new-born.
