The pleasing thing about peas

Like the princess and the pea, your body also notices the tiny green seeds. But inna good way. How? By getting stronger against strokes.
That's because peas are chockfull of folate, a mighty B vitamin known to lower blood levels of a stroke-promoting compound.

Heard about homocysteine?

Both natural folate and the synthetic kind(folic acid) found in supplements and fortified foods help lower homocysteine levels in the blood. That's a fine thing, because researchers suspect that too muc of the substance might encourage "bad" cholesterol to oxidise and contribute to artery-blocking(read heart attack and stroke-causing) blood clots.

Time for a supplement:

Because the average diet falls far short of the amount of folate, you should take a multivitamin with 400 micrograms. That will help ensure you reach the optimum dose of 700 micrograms per day.
