Proper maternal nutrition during pregnancy goes a long way in determining the health, nutrition status and quality of life of a child. This includes preventing birth defects that cause physical and mental disability.
An example of a birth defect that is commonly experienced is congenital heart disease, brought about by deficiency of Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) and B3(Niacin) during pregnancy. This is especially worse if the mother eats a diet that is high in saturated fat.
