Desertchica is the only 'correct' answer here.  Note: you can also take your vitamins 'with' your meals.

Folic acid is a B vitamin, I think it is B8.  Also called Folacin, and the natural form in foods is Folate.  It is essential for the synthesis of DNA.  Deficiency symptoms are constipation, anemia, slowed metabolism, fatigue, depression.  Deficiency also can cause birth defects.  Best sources include liver, green leafy vegetables, especially spinach, broccoli, peanuts.  We typically need 4-600 micrograms (.4 - .6 milligrams) daily, but for people with high blood levels of homocycteine doctors usually recommend 800mcg or more.  Yes, folic acid does help prevent a heart attack by reducing the homocycteine which greatly facilitates buildup of plaque in the arteries.  B vitamins work together, so your doctor will probably want you to supplement your intake of B12 and B6.  There is an Rx form called Foltx, but it might not have enough 12 and 6.  Some people think that Folate, the natural form in foods, is much better than Folic Acid.  It also is available in a supplement.  Be sure to talk to your doctor first before beginning any B vitamin supplements.  Also, if you take a multiple vitamin, check its contents, many include 400mcg of folic acid.  Be careful of what you might read on the internet.  There's at least one site that confused milligrams with grams.

I have just visited the Center's for diseases control department http://www.cdc.gov in order to get informed in advances in science and I found also useful information in another site  http://www.yourhealthnews/folate.html\nThey make the correlation on what you are asking and it is refered that a lot of older people have  folic acid defficiency.Everything on the basis of studies that have been done.\n\n\nSeems that the link doesn't work properly. You can go to http://yourhealthbase.com and look under folate\n\nKaterina

Well you will need to find a good source of protein and eat lots of it. Something like soy or tofu..certain beans, lentils, and you have to eat lots of other stuff too in order to get all the nutrients you need. It's much easier to just take a vitamin supplement. But the protein you have to actually eat, supplements suck.

I prefer Centrum (more stuff), but any vitamin you love and will take daily is the best one!\n\nI recommend Centrum for our Kimkins members while they're in fast weight loss mode.

You can take the B-Vites in the A.M..Most do this because that is where You are getting the energy. Just read instructions on bottle to determine how much B's are safe. Mine(Nature Made Brand) say...One caplet daily w/ a Meal (or You'll get jittery like You drank too much  coffee) . Mine has Vitamin C also. This helps Your body absorb Iron better. B-Vites are great.  They boost the Immune system.I also take Nature Made  Omega3 Fish Oil capsules. These soften brain receptor cells to improve thought processes. I take at night, so when I awake, I am refreshed and ready for the day. Get the odorless kind. The don't break down until in lower intestine so You cannot taste or burp or even smell the fishy taste You get when using the regular kind. Fish oil also helps prevent coronary heart disease, and promotes cellular regeneration!!!! 60 soft gels @ Rite-Aid are only $9.99. It may sound gross, but believe me, It helps tremendously. Also helps keep u regular...if u get My drift. I hope this helps!!!! Any vitamin in excess is as bad as anything else in excess. You are wise for asking!!!! Great Luck to You and God  Bless!!! J ~  P.S. Skip the B-12 @ 4th meal because You are getting enough W/ the complex. Too much can cause health problems! You are taking B-12 in the complex. You can also see a Dr. for Vit B shots to lose weight if heavy. My mother-in -law gets these and they give her tons of energy to burn fat. 100.00 a pop though!!!

Try taking it after you have eaten. Most daily vitamins make you wanna puke, if you take them on an empty stomach. Ask any pregnant women who takes her prenatal vitamins

Brown rice is great for you. 1/2 cup. But white rice is full of starch/sugars. Here's a great sample menu that I used after my baby was born. I ate like a crazy person and at the end of my pregnancy weighed 203 lbs. I am 5'6". Now, I weigh 130 and of course I look great! and feel great!\nBreakfast:\n3/4 cup oatmeal\n1/2 grapefruit with 1 packet of Splenda to taste.\nwater\n\nSnack:\n1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 1tbsp peanut butter\n\nLunch:\nTuna and Lettuce wrap, you can season with 1 tbsp. vinagrette dressing.\napple\nsteamed broccoli florets (you can season them w/ Ms. Dash).\n\nDinner\nBoneless skinless chicken breast (seasoned with lemon juice from a real lemon, not a bottle).\n1/2 cup brown rice\nsteamed cauliflower\n\nsnack before 8p.m.!!!\n1 cup plain vanilla yogurt\n\nNO FOOD AFTER 8P.M.!!!!!  \n\nI used this diet from July to January and dropped from 200lbs to 130!

Protein, and plenty of it. The best source would be chicken, fish, tuna, eggs or protein shakes.

folic acid/folate is needed by women of childbearing age to prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida, 400micrograms/day is needed.\nB12 is important for the intrinsic factor which is part of the digestive system and is needed for the absorption of nutrients, the most effective method is by injection once/month.  All B vitamins are good for energy and stress.\nAND they make your pee bright yellow, so it looks like you ate a highlighter pen :)

For actual food, probably kale is your best bet. Broccoli comes pretty close too. The vegetables aren't really good sources of vitamin E, though. Maybe kale sauteed in olive oil? Does that still count as a single food?\n\nYou can always cheat and use fortified breakfast cereals, I'm not sure that would count as the nutrients aren't naturally occurring.
