Q1: What do you usually eat for breakfast?
A – Bowl of cereal
A A good choice: cereal, especially fortified, can really boost your folic acid
intake. For example Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Special K and Healthwise Bran Flakes all
provide at least half of the Recommended Daily Allowance in one bowl.
B – Piece of toast
B Bread contains some folic acid, but to optimise your intake, buy loaves
displaying the F logo (fortified with folic acid) on the packet.
C – Nothing/something grabbed on the run
C Not eating a proper breakfast means missing out on one of your most valuable
chances of boosting folic acid intake. Even if you’re rushed, try making time
for a bowl of fortified cereal or slice of toast (look for the F logo on the packet).
