Folic Acid for females and males

What is folic acid? Ok...have you been to blood donations? At the end of blood donation session, the nurses will give you a few pills and that's folic acid pills, which is Vitamin B9. Also known as Vitamin M. Not referring to $$$$ :P

I came to know abt folic acid after my colleague shared with me that women should take folic acid pills if she's preparing to get pregnant. And it's very cheap according to another colleague who's currently pregnant now. It's like 10 for RM0.50. Hence, I came to know folic acid is meant for females. It is neccessary for production and maintenance of new cells.

Apparently, males also need folic acide. Just read from our internal nutrition alert that folic acid is associated with male's depression issues.

To increase your folic acid content in your body, start eating cereals, take more vege (green) and fruits.

The purpose of this post is encouraging everyone to increase the intake of folic acid, but take everything in moderate. Do everything in moderate is good.
