Its deficiency has been associated with diseases such as anemia, Alzheimer&#8217;s, cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the fact that many people live with <strong>micronutrient <\/strong>deficiencies, recent studies <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-3-031-32554-0_4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have found<\/a> that women with obesity or pregestational -before pregnancy- diabetes have <strong>lower levels of folate<\/strong> than those who do not suffer from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, experts consider that it is important to implement <strong>public health interventions<\/strong> that seek to reduce these deficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is folate (vitamin B9) important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout her career, D\u00edaz de la Garza has focused on studying <strong>folate<\/strong>, from how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/journals\/cell-and-developmental-biology\/articles\/10.3389\/fcell.2021.672545\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plants synthesize it<\/a>, to how humans metabolize it, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1073\/pnas.0700409104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what we can do<\/a> to avoid deficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular interventions is taking <strong>folic acid supplements<\/strong>, particularly recommended for <strong>pregnant women<\/strong>, which helps increase its levels in blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>we all need to <\/strong>consume <strong>folate<\/strong> and questions have been raised about how much of the <strong>folic acid<\/strong> taken in supplements or fortified flours is actually used by the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnmetabolized folic acid is being found in many blood samples,\u201d says Casta\u00f1o-Morena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, it is not entirely understood why it is not completely <strong>metabolized<\/strong> or why some conditions, such as <a href=\"\/en\/health\/international-obesity-research-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">obesity<\/a>, cause a <strong>loss of vitamins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studying it is part of some of the experts&#8217; future goals, as well as finding ways to i<strong>ncrease folate density<\/strong> in plants using pre- and post-harvest techniques, as well as genetic engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, they <strong>recommend eating<\/strong> large amounts of foods that contain the vitamin naturally: \u201cYoung tissues, such as seeds and leaves, will have the most,\u201d says D\u00edaz de la Garza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical Advices to Increase Folate Intake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the <strong>practical recommendations<\/strong> to <strong>increase folate intake <\/strong>are eating<strong> leaves<\/strong> -such as spinach- and <strong>seeds<\/strong> -such as beans, lentils or peas- in abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the <strong>fruits<\/strong> that contain it in greater quantities are <strong>papaya<\/strong>, <strong>avocado<\/strong> and <strong>oranges<\/strong>. Among the tubers are <strong>potatoes<\/strong>, as long as they are consumed with <strong>the peel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of <strong>folates<\/strong> in the coating part; so prioritize <strong>whole grain rice<\/strong>, for example,\u201d explains D\u00edaz de la Garza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, in addition, <strong>we soak<\/strong> the <strong>grains in water <\/strong>overnight before consuming them, that can stimulate the release of large quantities of the <strong>vitamin<\/strong>. \u201cYou are telling the seed that it is going to germinate soon, so it begins to prepare all the machinery for cell division, and produces more,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steaming vegetables<\/strong> prevents vitamin loss, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1021\/jf0112318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">compared to making them in broth or cooking them<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you are going to make them in <strong>broth<\/strong>, you have to drink it, because a lot of <strong>micronutrients <\/strong>can be lost there,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Placing emphasis on a <a href=\"\/en\/health\/types-of-diets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">healthy diet<\/a>, abundant in fruits and vegetables, can have positive consequences in the lives of all people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, \u201cthis is especially important in the first thousand days of an individual: the nine months of pregnancy and the first two years of life,\u201d says Casta\u00f1o-Morena. \u201cIt is a window of opportunity in which we can greatly reduce the risk of people suffering from chronic non-communicable diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Were you interested in this story?
