AHA's new guidelines to reduce newborn heart defects

Four key recommendations listed by the American Heart Association:

• Talk to your doctor
• Take a daily multivitamin with a dose of at least 400 micrograms folic acid
• Avoid people with illnesses that could induce fever
  
• Review all medication use with your doctor even if over-the-counter

Steve - what was most impressive is that they encouraged these guidelines to be applied even before a woman becomes pregnant.
