Are you getting enough folic acid?Q1: What do you usually eat for breakfast?A A good choice: cereal, especially fortified, can really boost your folic acid intake. For example Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Special K and Healthwise Bran Flakes all provide at least half of the Recommended Daily Allowance in one bowl.B Bread contains some folic acid, but to optimise your intake, buy loaves displaying the F logo (fortified with folic acid) on the packet. C Not eating a proper breakfast means missing out on one of your most valuable chances of boosting folic acid intake. Even if you’re rushed, try making time for a bowl of fortified cereal or slice of toast (look for the F logo on the packet). |
