What Does Folic Acid Do?


 
Health,Advice,Self Improvement
If you’re wondering what does folic acid do for the human body well for one it can improve the health of cells. Cells are the main component of human’s life and everything starts from them. Also many ailments such as cancer start with a damaged cell. What is fascinating about cells is that some of them can die off fairly quickly. Skin cells for instance last on average for about a month while brain cells can live for years. When cells die they of course have to be replaced in which case they will copy itself to a new body.

Actually the DNA which is the control center will ensure the new cell is correct when it’s copied. How cells relate to folic acid is that its primary job is to help protect them and create new cells that are healthy. Since young babies and children grow the most cells, folic acid is especially important to them. In fact if a woman does not consume enough folic acid it here pregnancy than she can increase her chance of giving birth to a child with a neural tube defect by as high as 70%. More bad news is that neural tube defects usually occur within the very early stages of a pregnancy before a lot of ladies even know they are pregnant. So it’s best for women who are sexually active to get enough folic acid.

A neural tube defect is when a part of a baby’s skull or spine is exposed. More bad news is that there is not a lot of treatments since the majority of babies that have this ailment don’t survive. The ones that do survive medical technology at this time lends more of supportive role rather than a curing one, basically keeping the baby as comfortable as possible until life passes away. The best way to help a baby with a neural tube defect is to prevent this ailment from happening in the first place with folic acid.

The next ailment that folic acid can help a person avoid is cancer. Since this disease has to do with damaged cells and this nutrient helps ensure cells are correct it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize the connection. Studies also link people who have low levels of folic acid with an increased rate of cancer. Also this nutrient which is a B vitamin can help with Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s disease, preventing heart disease as well improve the production of white and red blood cells.

The great news about this nutrient is that it’s fairly easy to get. Lots of breakfast cereals have it, breads, pastas, vegetables and proteins. However because of toxins, pesticides and chemicals still too many people are deficient in this mineral. Due to this many health professionals recommend a daily multi-vitamin that has folic acid. In fact I don’t know any health expert that thinks taking a good multi-vitamin will do more harm than good.

The trick is to find a good supplement. However it’s not that easy because there are so many to choose from and it can be confusing. Our group has created a guide to help people understand the industry a little bit more as well as show people some really good things to look for when buying a supplement. We also go over some things more people should avoid and we mention our top supplement brand that we like the most. You can view this guide by clicking on www.increasemyhealth.net.
