Eat foods high in folate, sometimes misidentified as folic acid which is a precursor to the creation of folate. Folic acid supplements are given to pregnant women to assist with fetal growth and development which is in a rapid state of cell division throughout the pregnancy. Folate is essential for the construction of DNA strands inside the cell nucleus. If you are deficient, you won’t create new cells. Obviously you want to be creating new cells at the highest rate possible. Foods with high folate content are, brussel sprouts, spinach, beef and chicken liver. The livers being the highest.
Be careful with folic acid pills. They are suspected to cause cancer with long term use and can cause allergic reactions. I had a bad one when I tried it. I got dizzy within minutes of taking it, and then the chest pain and tightness set in. I thought I was having a heart attack. All of those are symptoms. It took about 4 days for it to fully go away. My advice, get real folate from the foods you eat and avoid the pill form.
