Upturned nostrils or forward nostrils

Introduction The nose is tilted toward the sky or the nose is one of the symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome. Alcohol is a teratogen, and the only way to prevent fetal alcohol syndrome is to avoid drinking alcohol during pregnancy. If you want to completely stop drinking, it is best to eat more foods rich in B vitamins, such as oatmeal, whole wheat bread, animal offal, lean meat, peanuts, most kinds of vegetables, wheat bran, milk and so on. If you are used to it, you may wish to drink oatmeal in the morning, because the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase in the human liver is very low at noon, drinking alcohol is easy to get drunk, and drinking oatmeal in the morning can help reduce the desire to drink at noon. At the same time, porridge can also Protect the gastric mucosa. It should be noted that B vitamins will not be stored in the body, and the excess will be completely excreted. Therefore, people who abstain from alcohol must supplement B vitamins daily.

Alcohol enters the placenta and impedes the growth and weight of the fetus, causing unique facial plaques, damaging neurons and brain structures, and causing problems such as physical fitness, mentality, or behavior.
