Including the right amount of folic acid in your diet will leave
your skin looking naturally smooth and beautiful, and we are learning more
about the benefits of this B-vitamin every day!
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association found that the children of women who supplement their diets with
folic acid before and during pregnancy have a reduced risk of autism, as well
as other neural tube defects. Folic acid also encourages cell turnover and DNA
production, which will leave your skin looking and feeling soft, smooth, and
radiant. It also can reduce your risk of skin diseases like dandruff
(seborrheic dermatitis) and vitiligo.
It is so easy to include this vitamin in your diet, so why not
make it a part of your every day routine? Folic acid is present in its natural
form, folate, in green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and beet greens, as
well as legumes, asparagus, broccoli, fruits, and whole grains. Most breads,
cereals, flours and pastas in the United States are fortified with folic acid,
too! Eat a balanced diet and if you are planning to get pregnant then
supplement daily with a prenatal vitamin!
