Thank you Haim
Most have no idea of a healthy diet as I look around my community.
I find I get enough K from my diet.
The most common foods that have high vitamin K are green leafy vegetables such as kale, collard greens, broccoli, spinach, cabbage, and lettuce.
Since I ran 60,000 miles and lifted weights for 40 years when I request a bone density test they laugh at me.
My wife had osteopenia and they put her on fosamax. When she told me I threw out the fosamax and she
upped her D3. 2 years later at 65 they told her that her bones where 3 times stronger than a 30 year olds.
Again all of her K thru real food.
PTH test to monitor calcium.
I see you covered it: Consuming a healthy diet is vital throughout the aging process to maintain and promote wellbeing. The aging population may be at risk for many suboptimal nutrient intakes, including Vit. K, which have been shown to be associated with adverse health outcomes highly prevalent in this age group. Thus, the intake of Vit. K-rich diets or Vit. K supplements could prevent age-related diseases and/or support the effectiveness of medical treatments. However, more studies are needed to formulate the exactly recommended intakes of Vit. K, including Vit. K1, Menaquinone-4, and Menaquinone-7, due to their distinct bioavailability and biological activities. According to this review, higher values of Vit. K intakes are needed, especially among the elderly and people who have co-morbidities conditions that are most likely to be Vit. K deficient.
