Hello Diet rich in food items like lentils, spinach, asparagus, beetroot, broccoli, peas etc are quite helpful in fulfilling the dietary intake of folate. The best way to get adequate folate is to eat five or more servings of fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. There are food available that are fortified with folate and iron supplements and multivitamins available in market. Kindly take the supplements under the consultation and prescription of a physician. Cow ghee has many benefits but do not over consume ghee as it is a saturated fat and its excess may lead to diarrhoea and indigestion.
