Folic acid may not be needed for conception, provided that future parents adhere to the basics of a healthy lifestyle. A suitable diet will help replenish your supply of nutrients. What food is suitable for people planning pregnancy? B9 is found in products such as:
• spinach, parsley, mint, lettuce;
• beans and peas;
• milk, cottage cheese, hard cheese;
• eggs;
• trout, perch;
• pork, lamb, poultry;
• kidneys, liver;
• nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts).
In addition to greens and cereals, B9 is found in dried apricots, melon, beets, mushrooms, pumpkin, grapefruit, turnips, and bananas.
For example, a bowl of buckwheat porridge with fresh milk or 200 ml of natural orange or grapefruit juice will replenish half the required daily dose of the substance.
