Although we always hear about vitamin A, B, C and D, vitamin K is often overlooked and under-consumed, it is definitely something you should implement more of in your life on a daily basis.

Here is why I am Crazy for the big K.

  • It is a powerful antioxidant that will help with the signs of ageing; with daily consumption of vitamin K rich foods, your skin over time will become more radiant, plump and younger looking.
  • It helps strengthen your bones, which many think is not that important now, however weak bones lead to osteoporosis in the future, painful hip replacements and broken bones happen much easier.
  • It helps control your blood sugar levels so you do not get those sudden faint, dizzy feelings.
  • It is a potent anti-inflammatory, so if you are suffering from a type of illness, or constant pain, make sure to include it daily in your diet to help reduce inflammation naturally.
  • It helps keep calcium in your body.
  • It protects your heart and brain health.

Here are the most fab sources:

Kale, spinach, turnip greens, collard greens, swiss chard, mustard greens, romaine, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, fish.

Here is how you can include Vitamin K in your diet:

Salads, sides, mains, smoothies, fresh juices, and snacks.

Try to consume at least 2lbs of greens a day, it will give your health and beauty a mega boost.  For more green goodness, add spirulina and chroella in your morning smoothies.
