Finding folic acid is made easier for expectant moms
For the moms-to-be out there who are trying to include more folic acid in their diet, the March of Dimes recently created a seal to help finding foods rich in this B vitamin that much easier to spot.Breads, flours, cereals and other foods must contain at least ten percent of the recommended daily intake of folic acid in order to be given the official Folic Acid for a Healthy Pregnancy seal. The seal itself is quite easy to notice; it's purple and white color scheme make it very different from the labels found on most food packaging.
In addition to helping to ensure a healthy pregnancy, consuming the recommended amount of folic acid can also help ward off stroke, heart attack, anemia, and certain types of cancers.

When it comes to your health it's always better to get an assessment to discover what your body needs. You know your lifestyle demands, but not your body's DNA. Once you know what your DNA needs, you'll never have to guess again. Watch what was recently on Fox news regarding vitamins. http://youtube.com/watch?v=s-b53iFKe_s Then got to this site to find out how it's possible. http://www.mygenewize.com/carpenter
