Folic acid in our diet, avoid problems in the formation of the neural tube. When the neural tube fails to close, babies are born with a serious birth defect called neural tube defect (NTD, for its acronym in English). And what’s worse, many pregnancies affected by this disease is not happy and end in births end in spontaneous abortions or births lifeless.
In the United States about 2,500 children born each year with neural tube defects. And among the various ethnic groups who will suffer most are Latinos and whites.
The two types of NTD’s more frequent, are spina bifida and anencephaly. Spina bifida is a major cause of childhood disability and anencephaly, occurs when the baby is born with the skull and the brain very poorly developed.
Fortunately, preventing this disease is very simple. Studies show that if all women took folic acid before conception and during early pregnancy, the number of babies born with NTD decrease up to 70%.
The key is to consume before becoming pregnant, that’s when vitamin A are its effects. It is a preventive measure and understand before we provide. Consumption must begin before pregnancy and continue taking the first few weeks, when the neural tube is still in the process of becoming the brain and spinal cord of the baby.

From the chemical point of view, the fibers are divided into five main variants: cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin and binders. Among those five, we can distinguish two groups: soluble and insoluble.
For specialists the daily minimum for a human should consume of fiber is 30 grams.
