A recent study showed that eating an additional share of leafy vegetables per day can protect from the risk of heart disease, as spinach, cabbage and broccoli contain vitamin K1 with a lower risk of death with heart disease.
Leafy vegetables reduce the risk of heart disease
According to the Times Now News website, cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death globally, and the vascular atherosclerosis, in which plaques accumulate inside the arteries, is narrowing and hindering blood flow, which makes it the main cause of death because it often leads to heart attacks and strokes, which is the most dangerous forms of cardiovascular disease.
A study conducted by the University of Edith Kuan, the University of Western Australia and the Danish Institute of Cancer revealed the possibility of reducing the risk of atherosclerosis by increasing the levels of vitamin K1 by eating more leafy vegetables.
“The leafy vegetables, such as spinach and broccoli, contain vitamin K1, which may help prevent vehicles of vessels that distinguish cardiovascular diseases,” Montana Doboy, the main researcher in the study of the University of Istren Carolina, said.
The results of the study revealed that the women who have had more vitamin K1 have a decrease in the risk of atherosclerosis in the early stage and over 14.5 years.
