Planned Parenthood WIC

Planned Parenthood WIC WIC — the Women, Infants, and Children program — is a nutrition program that helps pregnant women, new mothers, and young children eat well and stay healthy.

The WIC program joined Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties in 1995 to provide women and their families with nutrition education to promote healthy lives. Currently, our WIC services are being offered only in Orange County. Through WIC, families receive a variety of comprehensive nutrition programs, including:

• Providing nutritious supplemental food vouchers for WIC-approved foods, such as cheese, milk, and cereals

• Helping women find prenatal care, health insurance, family planning options, and general medical care for the mother and child

• Providing nutrition education classes to promote healthy eating and active living

• Promoting and encouraging breastfeeding

• Offering clients health and nutrition education from Registered Dietitians, Nutrition Education Counselors, and Certified Lactation Educators

Corn masa products like tortillas now have folic acid added. This vitamin helps the body build healthy cells and lowers the risk of birth defects that affect a baby’s brain and spine. Everyone can use folic acid, and it’s especially important for anyone who could become pregnant. Even with a MTHFR gene variant, folic acid still works in your body to help prevent birth defects

California WIC, a nutrition program for those who are pregnant and postpartum, allows foods like corn tortillas, corn masa flour and other folic acid-rich options that support healthy pregnancies.

Learn more about the benefits of folic acid: cdph.ca.gov/folicacid

_______________________________

Los productos hechos con harina de masa de maíz, como las tortillas, ahora tienen ácido fólico añadido. Esta vitamina ayuda al cuerpo a formar células sanas y reduce el riesgo de defectos de nacimiento que afectan el cerebro y la columna vertebral del bebé. El ácido fólico es bueno para todas las personas, pero es especialmente importante para quienes podrían quedar embarazadas. Incluso si alguien tiene la variante del gen MTHFR, el ácido fólico sigue funcionando en el cuerpo para ayudar a prevenir estos defectos de nacimiento.

El programa WIC de California, que apoya a personas embarazadas y en posparto, ofrece alimentos como tortillas de maíz, harina de masa de maíz y otros productos ricos en ácido fólico que ayudan a tener un embarazo saludable.
