Are you getting enough folic acid?

Q2: How often do you eat fresh green vegetables?

A - Once or more a day

A Fresh green vegetables significantly boost folic acid intake, so keep up the good work by eating them regularly every day.

B - 3-5 times a week

B Ideally you should double your intake of folic acid-rich greens. In the meantime, when you do eat greens, focus on Brussels sprouts, asparagus, spinach and kale which all have more than 100µg folic acid per serving.

C - Less than 3 times a week

C Try to build your intake of folic acid-rich green vegetables nearer to one serving a day. If you don’t eat them because you don’t like them, drink more orange juice, which is also a moderate source of the vitamin.
