The folic acid will help to stop occurrence of birth defects especially in the important parts of the unborn baby such as the brain and spinal cord. To obtain this nutrient on daily basis, doctors recommend an intake of 400 micrograms of folic acid. The common food sources for folic acid are citrus fruits, beans, and leafy green vegetables.
