(Medical-NewsWire.com, November 14, 2014 ) Deerfield Beach, Florida -- Maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle is important for everyone but is particularly important for women looking to conceive. According to the National Institute of Child Health and Development, if a mother has a healthy pre-pregnancy weight, the baby will have a lesser risk of developing congenital heart defects and other types of birth defects, such as spina bifida, genital and bowel abnormalities as well as Type 2 diabetes.
Being overweight can interrupt a woman's regular monthly cycle, making it tricky for ovulation to take place, and making it difficult to know the exact period of ovulation. Being underweight can also reduce a woman's fertility because the amount of body fat is too low, which can cause hormone imbalances that may affect ovulation.
"Ovulation is impaired if body fat is less than 12 percent or more than 30 to 35 percent", notes William Schoolcraft, MD, who is founder and medical director of the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine in Denver and author of If at First You Don't Conceive.
The benefits of a achieving a healthier weight level before conception are manifold and can help get both mother and baby off to a healthy start during pregnancy. A healthy weight before pregnancy can help reduce the risk of several pregnancy and birth complications, including high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, and gestational diabetes.
Eating a varied diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy products, lean proteins and whole grains, plus regular exercise can help the body achieve a healthy weight. Women who are planning to get pregnant should avoid fad diets that severely limit proper nutritional intake since the body needs to build up key vitamins and minerals to prepare for pregnancy. A prenatal vitamin with Folic Acid is then recommended. The Recommended Daily Allowance of Folic Acid in the USA (USRDA) is 800mcg recommended prior to conception and during pregnancy.
Evergreen Nature Prenatal Vitamins contain 100% of the RDA for Folic Acid and contain a dozen other key nutrients for pregnant women.
Evergreen Nature CEO Mina Malik said that "The importance of maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle during pregnancy cannot be stated enough. Tied in closely with this is taking a Prenatal Vitamin throughout pregnancy and beyond whilst breastfeeding. It's important to take Prenatals when you start thinking about trying to conceive."
