A pregnant woman with poor nutrition may suffer several problems during pregnancy, all reversible in your body. However, training the body is inside, they may not be going back, and the consequences of this condition the child for life.
One of the nutrients that can not miss during pregnancy is vitamin C, which in the absence of which can seriously harm fetal brain development as it results in Lykkesfeldt Kens research by University of Copenhagen which is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Experimenting on animals, Lykkesfeldt and his team observed the impact that deficiencies in vitamin C during pregnancy on the fetuses had concluded that this may have a serious effect on their mental development, which, translated to humans, implies serious learning difficulties.
Infants with vitamin C have fewer neurons in the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for processing knowledge. These babies are therefore more likely to experience learning difficulties throughout their development as individuals.
It is therefore important that pregnant women consume foods rich in vitamin C. Sources of vitamin C are the most important citrus, green peppers, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, white and sweet potatoes.
