Brain health starts from the womb since doctors encourage pregnant women to take folic acid in their diet. Folic acid aids in the development of the brain and nervous system of the baby in the womb. Pregnant women with the previous case of neurological disorders and women taking medications are insisted on taking folic acid supplements.

In India, anaemia is rampant, especially in villages. Anaemia causes stunted growth and poor brain development. Hence it is important for pregnant women and young mothers to diagnose the problem and treat it.
