Have you heard of Vitamin K? It’s a less known member of the vitamin alphabet but plays a very important part in the weapon against chronic inflammation where the body’s natural protective mechanism overreacts and causes problems. Vitamin K has been linked to a lower risk for two inflammatory conditions – osteoarthritis and heart disease in women.
Two long-term studies show that people who consume the lowest levels of K are at the greatest risk for osteoporosis. And now research in the British Journal of Nutrition links improved levels of vitamin K in children with increased bone mineral content.
Are you getting enough K to fight inflammation? Tufts University researches suggest that you’re probably not. Most deficient in vitamin K are older adults. Try to get between 90 micrograms (for women) and 120 micrograms (for men) a day and eat plenty of leafy greens (broccoli, kale, lettuce, and spinach) as well as olive oil and soybeans.
