Q: Anybody over the age of 13 needs at least 400 micrograms of folic acid a day, while pregnant women should try to get up to 600 micrograms daily. Avoid taking more than 1,000 micrograms of folic acid a day from supplements or fortified food unless you’re advised to do so by your doctor.  Controlled trials indicate that proper folic acid intake protects against strokes and heart disease.  Although most people don’t notice side effects from folic acid, some may experience nausea, gas, bloating, trouble sleeping and other symptoms. The folic acid that occurs naturally in foods is called folate. The best sources include asparagus, broccoli, chickpeas, lentils, and other legumes. Other good sources include eggs, cauliflower, and papaya. Try adding a serving of a folate-rich food source to each of your meals to boost your folic acid intake naturally. The FDA requires that enriched bread, cereals, flours, pastas, and other grain products have added folic acid. These are important contributors of folic acid intake to the American diet. While a diet with folate-rich foods is important, most people cannot absorb the daily requirements for folic acid through food alone. Choose a vitamin or supplement that contains at least 400 micrograms of folic acid. The body is able to absorb approximately 100 percent of folic acid taken in supplement form.  Because folic acid is water-soluble and is excreted in your urine, it requires daily supplementation. Your body cannot store folic acid.  Avoid eating too many heavily fortified foods while also taking a multivitamin. This can increase your risk for overdosing on folic acid.
A: Aim for 400 – 600 micrograms of folic acid a day. Eat a serving of foods rich in folate with each meal. Take a multivitamin or a complex B-vitamin supplement daily.

Q: Slouchy boots are best paired with skinny jeans, as they fit neatly under the boots and create a streamlined look.

Short red slouchy boots would pair well with light-wash skinny jeans and a rose-printed sweater. A midi dress has a hemline between the knee and the ankle, so pairing it with slouchy boots keeps you from showing too much skin.

If you want to define your waist, add a cute belt to the outfit. Leggings also pair well with slouchy boots since they are fitted and slip right under the boots. Keep in mind that leggings have a casual feel, so this look is best for after-work hours.  Black slouchy boots, tribal-printed leggings, a white sweater, and a black scarf would be a comfy and casual outfit that’s perfect for brunch or shopping. Black leggings, black slouchy boots, and a black tank underneath a flannel shirt make a great outfit for running errands. You don’t have to just wear pants with your slouchy boots!

Choose a skirt in the same color as your boots for an understated look, or pick a contrasting color for added flair. Over-the-knee slouchy boots in a rich color like caramel or red would look great paired with a denim mini-skirt and a sheer black blouse. Skinny trousers look great with slouchy boots. If you prefer a monochromatic style, match the shade of your trousers and the shade of your boots. Choose a top in a contrasting color to make your legs look a mile long. Skinny black trousers underneath tall black slouchy boots and a printed blouse would be the perfect outfit for dinner and drinks. If you’re a fan of maxi dresses or skirts, don’t be afraid to pair them with slouchy boots! The hemline should end just above the top of your foot so your boots are visible underneath.
