Protect Your Brain from Cognitive Decline With Vitamin K2 - AI Podcast

Published 8 months ago

Low vitamin K intake damages brain function and memory by reducing brain cell growth and increasing inflammation, especially in the brain region responsible for learning and memory
Vitamin K2 is important for directing calcium to bones instead of arteries, supporting brain health and reducing inflammation, but most Western diets lack sufficient K2
In a study, mice fed a diet low in vitamin K showed significantly poorer performance in memory tests and had fewer new brain cells forming in key cognitive areas
Good sources of vitamin K2 include grass-fed animal products (egg yolks, liver), certain cheeses like Gouda and Brie, and fermented foods like natto
Vitamin K2 is fat-soluble and should be consumed with healthy fats for optimal absorption
