Brain-Friendly Folate

[Texasmujer]

Protect your brain by kicking upyour folate intake.

Adequate folate intake appears to protect against hemorrhagic stroke, a condition that causes bleeding in the brain. Hemorrhagic stroke is a less common type of stroke than ischemic stroke, which is caused by a blood clot-blocked artery. Protect your brain by packing your side dishes with folate-rich asparagus, Brussel sprouts, and artichokes.

Try to get 700 micrograms of folate per day for protection.
