Unfortunately, many people think of folate as a nutrient that is only essential during pregnancy, but in reality it is "important at all stages of life", warns Jenny Tschiesche, a nutritionist, quoted in The Independent. 

She also explains that ideally most people should consume around 200 micrograms of folate daily through their diet. It is easily found in foods such as kale and spinach, chickpeas and black beans, as well as liver.
