Foods High in Vitamin K
Vitamin K plays an important role in blood clotting, it maintains blood vessels flexible and it stimulates correct bone development. Deficiencies of vitamin K will lead to improper coagulation of the blood and hemorrhaging from wounds, easy bruising, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, easy bone fractures and even congenital malformations. Too high an intake of vitamin K on the other hand is health threatening too by the risk of heart attacks and stroke due to blood thickening. The following suggestions on some foods high in vitamin K can help you stay away from imbalances.
Leafy greens such as spinach, lettuce, broccoli, Brussels sprout and kale are foods high in vitamin K. Since livestock usually feed on leafy green, their liver contains rich sources of K vitamin. Nevertheless, beef and pork liver are not consumed in very many cultures.
Fruits as foods high in vitamin K represent the most common source for a balanced nutrition. Kiwis, avocados, cantaloupe melons, grapes, apples, bananas, peaches, apricots and blueberries contain a moderate amount of K vitamin. The same holds true for vegetables like red cabbage, tomatoes, leeks, artichokes, peas and cucumbers.
