"Folate and vitamin B12 are necessary for forming red blood cells," says Croft-o'Halloran. If your diet doesn't contain enough folate, you can develop macrocyric (large cell) anemia, and a lack of both vitamins can mean that nerves don't function properly. If you're trying to become pregnant, folate is also essential for the healthy development of the fetus. Good sources include spinach, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, peas, blackeye beans, yeast, beef extracts, oranges, orange juice.
