What are the benefits of folic acid for women?

Folate is also known as Folic Acid or Vitamin B9. Folic acid is the form of folate that is added to food products that have been processed and in supplements. It is an important water-soluble vitamin for women in all stages of life.

Why is Folic Acid Important?

It helps form protein and new DNA. This vitamin is really important for women that are pregnant or of childbearing age.

Which Foods Are Highest in Folate?

There are many different foods that have folate, but some food sources have more than others. Some food sources that have the highest amount of folate is liver, legumes, leafy green veggies like spinach, kale, broccoli, collard greens, romaine lettuce, and mustard greens. Other food sources that have high amounts of folate include nuts, avocados, and citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges.🥗🥑🍋🥜🥦🥬

Which foods have folic acid?

You'll typically find folic acid in food sources that are made with fortified flours like bread, rolls, cakes, pasta, and cereals. These fortified foods are the leading sources of folic acid in America. You also find folic acid in dietary supplements.

How much folic acid should you consume?

The Recommended Dietary Allowance for adult women is 400 mcg/day. If you are a woman of childbearing age or are thinking of becoming pregnant, you should take 400 mcg/day as folic acid. Pregnant women should consume 600 mcg/day of folic acid because of the needs of the growing baby.

What Happens if I Don't Consume Enough Folic Acid?

The major concern is for women that become pregnant. A deficiency of folic acid increases the risk of a baby being born with neural tube defects like spina bifida, cleft palate, and anecephaly. Folic acid is also important for women because of its role in forming new cells and DNA. Consuming enough folic acid helps with hair, skin, and nails!

20th anniversary of 9/11

I remember being home sick from school. Both my sister and I were at my mawmaw’s house watching cartoons when suddenly she got a phone call.

It was a school day so my mom was teaching at the high school. The TV was changed to the news and we all just watched as smoke came out of the first tower.

My mom got to my mawmaw’s house before the second tower got hit. We watched all morning as the towers were hit and then fell.

It was a moment of fear for everyone. The unknown of what was going to happen. Where were you?

****PART 3****

I’ve debated over posting my tiktok videos about the loaded teas and nutrition shops that are popping up everywhere here to Facebook but I’ve thrown caution to the wind - mostly because of all the people talking about the issues they had with these drinks long term in the comments.

These nutrition shops are NOT NUTRITIONISTS or DIETITIANS. Yes - I’ve been taken into one before y’all all come at me and say how I have no idea what I’m talking about.

These are not “nutritional” and lord knows they aren’t actually teas. They are all made from Herbalife products - a tea concentrate and liftoff product.

And before y’all all end up with heart attacks and liver problems - please at least be careful with what you’re consuming.

**This is not to sabotage these companies but only to make sure y’all know what you’re actually drinking.**
