β οΈ 30% of adults and 50% of older adults have a vitamin deficiency that contributes to unhealthy aging.
π‘ This vitamin deficiency leads to hardening of the arteries, calcification of the circulatory system, and other tissues associated with unhealthy aging.
β Taking calcium supplements may increase the risk of vascular calcification and heart disease.
π Vitamin K2 is crucial for directing calcium to the bones instead of the arteries.
βοΈ Vitamin K2 activates proteins called osteocalcin and MGP, which regulate calcium integration in bones and prevent calcification in arteries and cartilage.
𦴠Deficiency in vitamin K2 can contribute to unhealthy aging due to improper calcium distribution.
π Vitamin K2 deficiency is associated with age-related diseases, kidney disease, diabetes, bone fractures, and increased mortality.
β€οΈ Vitamin K2 deficiency leads to vascular problems, including heart disease, calcification of the arteries, heart failure, and higher risk of fatal heart attacks.
𦴠Functional problems such as decline in mobility, osteoarthritis, muscle loss, and frailty are linked to vitamin K2 deficiency, especially in individuals over 50 or 60 years old.
π Supplementing vitamin K2 can reverse disease processes, reduce calcification of arteries and heart valves, lower blood pressure, and decrease the risk of certain cancers.
π¬ Vitamin K2 supplementation is important for preventing diseases and improving mobility, agility, muscle strength, and bone strength as we age.
π There is currently no reliable blood test for measuring vitamin K2 levels, so it's best to either increase dietary intake or take a supplement.
π Vitamin K deficiency can lead to unhealthy aging.
π Studies show that a higher dosage of vitamin K2, around 500 micrograms a day, is effective in reversing age-related declines associated with the deficiency.
β οΈ It is important to consult with a doctor before supplementing vitamin K, especially if taking certain medications or having heart disease.
π‘ Vitamin K2 is important for healthy aging.
π½οΈ Vitamin K2 is found in limited dietary sources, with natto being the best source.
π§ Natto can be consumed in different forms like dried snacks or powder.
πΏ Green leafy vegetables like kale, chard, and spinach are rich in vitamin K, which is essential for healthy aging.
π³ Cooking dark leafy greens in oil can enhance the bioavailability of vitamin K2.
π Taking a supplement with about a thousand micrograms of K2 can ensure sufficient intake of vitamin K.
