Dining Table Trick Reduces Dementia Risk Up to 20%
Vitamin K2 is best known for its role in bone and heart health.
It ensures calcium enters your bones and stays out of your arteries.
However, according to the latest research, K2 could be just as critical for BRAIN protection.
A recent review highlighted vitamin K2’s impressive ability to help prevent inflammation in your brain, reduce the risk of dementia, and improve cognitive performance.
Plus, researchers found that higher vitamin K scores are linked to better cognitive function and reduced depression scores.
In fact, higher blood levels of this hardworking vitamin are associated with a remarkable 17 to 20 percent reduced risk of dementia and cognitive impairment.
There are a few critical reasons for these protective benefits.
For starters, K2 contains anti-inflammatory pathways that indicate its importance in brain cell survival. This is a key mechanism in its ability to reduce dementia since neuroinflammation significantly contributes to neuronal damage and, ultimately, to dementia.
In particular, the MK7 form of vitamin K2 reduces vascular damage and arterial calcification, improving heart AND brain function.
In one of the studies the authors reviewed, worsened memory and processing speed were associated with greater aortic stiffness.
This not only spotlights the role of your arteries in BRAIN health but also highlights that one of the ways vitamin K2 improves brain health is by improving arterial health.
We still have much to learn about K2 and brain health, but there’s no need to wait around for more evidence to increase your levels.
The foods highest in vitamin K2 include some of my favorites: egg yolks, butter, liver, cheese, and sauerkraut.
