If a pregnant woman is constantly in the sun, she may face complications, warns Queensland University of Technology. According to ABC News, 45 women were surveyed. It turned out that in pregnant women who were regularly on the street, a 20% decrease in the level of folic acid salt was noted.
And, as you know, deficiency of folic acid salt in pregnant women is associated with neural tube defects in the child, including splitting of the spine. It causes paralysis of the lower extremities in children and deformation of the body. Also, the shortage is threatened with miscarriage.
Professor Michael Kimlin does not exclude that the conclusions drawn relate only to inhabitants of tropical regions. He is going to conduct a more extensive study. But one thing is certain: in Queensland, the world's capital of skin cancer, where most of the time is sunny weather, women should be afraid of UV exposure. Because of it, they can lower the parameters of folic acid salt.
And before you plan a pregnancy, or early, you should test the concentration of salt in the body.
