Benefits Of Vitamin K With Health

in #vitamin7 years ago (edited)

Now, today we will talk about vitamin K. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin (4 fat-soluble vitamins are vitamin A, D, E, K). Vitamin K is a generic term because there are many types of vitamin K, which are predominantly vitamin K1, K2, and K3. Here are some of the benefits of vitamins for our bodies.

1. Good for bones

Vitamin K is essential for bones: it allows them to resist and resist osteoporosis. It is also essential for the synthesis of bone proteins. Vitamin K, combined with calcium, helps to strengthen the bones, which, if deficient in this vitamin, cause osteoporosis, which usually affects women during menopause. To prevent the risk of bone disease, people are at risk of adopting a diet rich in vitamin K. Vitamin K deficiency can lead to heart disease, bone loss, tooth decay and cancer.

2. Fight cancer

Studies have shown that vitamin K is effective against cancer when combined with conventional therapy. Patients with cancer and medications should consume foods rich in vitamin K, such as spinach or broccoli, to increase the chances of remedying the disease.

3. Adjust your blood pressure

The benefits of vitamin K also expand in this area because it helps regulate blood pressure, especially in patients who suffer from too much pressure. Consuming regular foods rich in vitamin K can restore normal blood pressure and improve overall health.

4. Good for the eyes

Carrots are known for its benefits to see, but few know that vitamin K is also essential for eye activity. It helps prevent diseases that often affect these important but sensitive organs.

5. Good for the brain

Vitamin K also plays an important role in smooth functioning of the brain system. A healthy diet based on this vitamin and foods containing it can develop your memory, improve your reflexes and increase your concentration.

6. Anti-abdominal pain

Increasing your vitamin K levels helps to reduce chronic abdominal pain that usually goes away daily. Just picking vegetables rich in vitamin K to prepare the salad, juice, and soup will help you regain your stomach balance.

7. Good in blood clotting

Vitamin K is a vitamin that is needed by the body for its solubility in fat, which plays a role in the coagulation process, particularly effective in treating many diseases of internal bleeding. If you are injured, this vitamin K will contribute to your body not losing too much blood, the process of blood clotting occurs faster.

These are the basic benefits of vitamin K for our body. In the next article, I will gather more information on foods rich in vitamin K so that you can add it to your menu to always be healthy. Thank you for reading.
