Importance of folic acid
;)
I have always heard of Folic acid in relation to pregnancy.I have seen newly pregnant mothers having folic acid in the first few months of their pregnancy.Calcium and iron are the two pills recommended by doctors. Folic acid satisfies the iron part.
It also decreases the risk of mental disorders,depression,heart diseases, colon cancer etc.
It is found in kidney beans, orange juice, spinach,asparagus, lentils and chickpeas.
