The most common cause of heart disease that doctors miss:

Vitamin K2 deficiency.

80% of people are deficient, causing calcium to become plaque that clogs their arteries.

Here are all of Vitamin K2´s health benefits and how to get enough to protect your heart: 🧵

Vitamin K2 is a miracle molecule for preventing heart disease.

It stops calcium becoming deadly plaque in your arteries by sending it to strengthen your bones and teeth instead.

Here´s how it works:

Vitamin K2 reduces the plaque in other areas of your body too.

It reduces it in your brain´s blood vessels which causes cognitive decline and even dementia.

It also helps prevent calcification in joints, tendons, and cartilage, reducing stiffness and pain in them.

Vitamin K2 even lowers inflammation by leading to a lower production of cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-α.

Lowering inflammation helps prevent blood vessel damage which gets patched up by cholesterol forming plaque.

This causes higher blood pressure and risk of heart disease.

Another key factor of your health and risk for heart disease is insulin resistance.

It causes blood vessel damage and higher blood pressure too.

Vitamin K2 reduces it by lowering inflammation and activating osteocalcin.

The modern diet is extremely low in Vitamin K2.

The foods highest in it like:

- Aged cheeses
- Pasture-raised eggs
- Grass-fed butter and meat.

Are animal products with saturated fat that we were told to avoid as they caused heart disease...

Here´s how that myth started:

To get more Vitamin K2, eat more of those foods as well as Natto.

It´s the food highest in Vitamin K2 in the world by far.

It has up to 1000 µg per 100g.

Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans fermented with the bacteria Bacillus subtilis (natto strain).

Natto also has Nattokinase which is an enzyme that directly breaks down plaque.

Not even a Big Pharma med can do that...

You can take Nattokinase as a supplement too.

Here´s how it works:

The easiest way to get enough Vitamin K2 is to supplement it.

Take 200 mcg/day.

Make sure it´s the MK-7 form of Vitamin K2.

It stays in your system much longer than MK-4 and it doesn´t take as much of it to be effective.

Also, take vitamin K2 with vitamin D, vitamin A, magnesium, and calcium.

Vitamin D boosts absorption, vitamin A helps bone-building, and magnesium activates vitamin D and regulates calcium transport.

Vitamin K2 is fat-soluble so also take it with a meal containing fat such as:

- Eggs
- Meat
- Dairy
- Olive oil

To maximize absorption.

As well as Vitamin K2 and Nattokinase, here are the other best supplements for preventing heart disease:

- CoQ10
- Vitamin D3
- Magnesium glycinate
- Omega 3-Fatty Acids.

The healthcare industry deals with heart disease through meds and surgeries.

But we should focus on natural ways to be healthier too like getting enough:

- Magnesium
- Vitamin K2 and D3
- Omega 3-Fatty Acids.

Exercise and an unprocessed diet make a huge difference too.
