Since more than half of pregnancies are unplanned, the Food and Drug Administration has taken steps to fortify food so that all women of childbearing age get a daily dose of folic acid. The following foods can help you obtain your recommended amount of folic acid:
- Leafy green vegetables such as a large spinach salad
- Citrus fruits, such as a tall glass of orange juice
- Beans
- Breads
- Cereals
- Rice
- Pastas
A daily vitamin with folic acid is also suggested since the food listed above may not contain enough of the supplement to meet the requirement.
