What to stop from bleeding until you run out of blood. Vitamin K, that is what?
Coach Kendra: Vitamin K is the essential to the clotting process in your body. Without it even the tinniest of cut would bleed forever. Vitamin K is also important for bone growth and repair. In fact, adequate supplies may prevent the bone weakening disease, osteoporosis.
The nutrient is a fat soluble vitamin which means that excess stores are kept in the liver to use as needed. Because vitamin K is so important, the body gets half of its supply on its own from bacteria which grow in the intestines.
Get the remaining 65 to 80 mcg that you need each day from the food you consume. Vitamin K is found in leafy green vegetables, cheese and liver.
So each your spinach and do not be afraid to go back for seconds, your blood will thank you.
