Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin, and our body cannot function without it. Especially for fetal development, adequate folic acid is needed to ensure normal development and prevent fetal malformations. Therefore, in modern medicine, it is recommended that men and women who are trying to conceive and pregnant women should supplement folic acid in an appropriate amount according to their physical condition. However, folic acid is also very important for middle-aged and older people.
As they get older, the brain function of middle-aged and elderly people will also decline, and some elderly people will even develop Alzheimer's disease. Folic acid, on the other hand, has the effect of repairing and protecting the brain, in addition to strengthening bones. Therefore, we recommend middle-aged and elderly people to eat some vegetables rich in folic acid every day to supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
