‘Everyday’ vitamin lowers risk of heart disease 30%
Preventing heart disease doesn’t come by doing a random series of “one-offs.”
Like some exercise here and there… or eating right every once in a while…
Nope. Getting serious about stopping heart disease takes a committed, daily LIFESTYLE.
Today, I’ve got something that can help. It’s a SIMPLE vitamin… you can use it EVERYDAY…
And it can help LOWER your risk of heart disease up to 30%!
A 20-year-long study out of Australia found that a diet rich in VITAMIN K can LOWER your risk of heart disease due to atherosclerosis over 30%!
Atherosclerosis is a condition where fat and cholesterol build up into plaques that block your arteries… which can lead to poor blood flow, blood clots, heart attack, or stroke.
But getting enough vitamin K significantly reduces your chances of the deadly symptoms of atherosclerosis.
And here’s more good news…
While vitamin K may not be ‘common’, it’s found in all kinds of delicious foods… AND vitamin K even comes in TWO different forms…
There two types of vitamin K that come from food:
- Vitamin K1 comes from green leafy vegetables and vegetable oils
- Vitamin K2 comes from meat, eggs, and fermented foods
So, for example, a simple meal with a piece of meat and a spinach salad will give you a plateful of vitamin K and help keep your heart healthy!
You can also find vitamin K supplements at most vitamin retailers or health food stores. If you do choose to supplement with vitamin K, just be sure to stick to the recommended dosage listed on the product label.
To everyday heart health,
