4. Folic Acid
Folate or Folic Acid is a kind of Vitamin B. It is very important for pregnant women or those who wish to be pregnant. Folic Acid fights against the neural tube defects of a fetus. But other people should take Folic Acid too. This can lower the risk of heart disease, anemia, and breast cancer. Folic Acid also helps your brain to stay sharp.
Citrus foods, dark green vegetables, fortified breakfast cereal, pasta, bread, and legumes are the main sources of Folic Acid. If these foods are not available to you, you can take the supplement. If you are not nursing or pregnant, you can take a 400mg supplement every day. Pregnant women can increase it up to 600 mg.
