What to eat to supplement vitamin K, and what are the foods for vitamin K?

Eating some lotus root can cool the blood and stop the bleeding.

Vitamin K, which is required in small quantities by the human body but is easily deficient in newborns, is an important vitamin that promotes normal blood clotting and bone growth. Dark green vegetables and yogurt are easily available vitamin K supplements in the daily diet.

The human body needs very little vitamin K, but it supports normal blood clotting, reduces heavy bleeding during menstruation, and prevents internal bleeding and hemorrhoids. People who have frequent nosebleeds should get more vitamin K from natural foods.

Vitamin K is divided into two main categories, one is fat-soluble vitamins, that is, vitamin K1 extracted from green plants and vitamin K2 synthesized by intestinal bacteria such as E. coli. The other category is water-soluble vitamins, which are synthesized artificially, namely vitamins K3 and K4. The most important are vitamins K1 and K2.

Bile is required for fat-soluble vitamin K absorption, whereas bile is not required for water-soluble vitamin K absorption.

Physiological function: Vitamin K controls blood clotting. Vitamin K is essential for the synthesis of four coagulation proteins (prothrombin, acceleration factor, antihemophilia**, and szeto factor) in the liver.

Vitamin K deficiency can delay blood clotting; Causes neonatal hemorrhage, even if large amounts of vitamin K1 and the natural form of vitamin K2 are not poisonous.

Food**: *Beef liver, cod liver oil, egg yolks, yogurt, yogurt, seaweed, alfalfa, spinach, kale, lettuce, cauliflower, peas, coriander, soybean oil, spirulina.

Supplemental Instructions: It will damage liver function and should not be taken by patients with liver disease;

Pregnant and lactating women should avoid taking large amounts of vitamin K supplements;

X-rays, radiation, cryoprocessing, aspirin and air pollution are all natural enemies of vitamin K;

If antibiotics are used, the number or function of bacteria in the intestines decreases, and vitamin K is relatively insufficient;

Concomitant intake of vitamin K (even if it is a natural food) will have the opposite effect on the properties of anti-blood coagulants;

If you have allergic symptoms such as redness, rash, gastrointestinal discomfort, and ** nourishment after taking vitamin K supplements, you should stop using it immediately and consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.

Vitamin K supplementation can be obtained by eating more dark green vegetables and yogurt. They are supplements for vitamin K, which is readily available in the daily diet. It is recommended to eat egg yolk, yogurt, yogurt, seaweed, spinach, cabbage, lettuce, coriander, spirulina, lotus root, cabbage, tomato, yogurt, alfalfa, egg yolk, soybean oil, and seaweed.

Foods that contain this vitamin are cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, yogurt, alfalfa, egg yolks, soybean oil, seaweed, green leafy vegetables, pork liver, broccoli, cauliflower, cauliflower, barley, etc.

Vitamin K is mostly in the form of phylloquinone, which is found in green vegetables, animal liver, fish, meat, dairy products, and a small amount in vegetable oil. Among them, the content of green leafy vegetables is the highest. The darker the color of leafy greens, the higher the vitamin K content.

Other foods such as peas, eggs, fish, dairy products, soybean oil, meat, fruits, nuts, liver and cereals are also rich in vitamin K.

As long as you consume 500 grams of vegetables per day, including more than 300 grams of dark green leafy vegetables, you can effectively prevent vitamin K deficiency and maintain the health of blood vessels and bones.

It's important to note that full absorption of vitamin K requires oils. Therefore, when eating green leafy vegetables, try not to choose to eat them raw, and use them to stir-fry or blanch them and then mix them with oil to help them absorb. In addition, excessive vitamin K intake can also cause problems, such as hemolytic anemia in pregnant women and hyperbilirubinemia in their newborns; It can induce hemolytic anemia and allergic dermatitis in the elderly with specific constitutions.

**Vitamin K deficiency hemorrhage, promotes the formation of prothrombin, accelerates blood clotting, and maintains normal clotting time.

Vitamin K2 is biologically active in animals, and vitamin K1 and vitamin K3 must be converted into vitamin K2 in order to work. All three forms of vitamin K are converted into vitamin K2 in the liver and absorbed together with vitamin K2 synthesized by gastrointestinal microorganisms.

In the past 40 years, especially in the past 20 years, due to the breakthrough of Sun Xiao, the detection technology of serum vitamin K and vitamin K deficiency-induced protein, many articles about infant bleeding caused by vitamin K deficiency have been reported around the world, and vitamin K deficiency is considered to be an important cause of infant bleeding disease and death worldwide. According to the 1995 National Child Mortality Surveillance Data, intracranial hemorrhage is the seventh leading cause of infant mortality in China, with a mortality rate of 100,000. Vitamin K2 preparations are effective in restoring prothrombin to normal levels and controlling bleeding.

Some elderly people also have vitamin K2 deficiency and prolonged prothrombin time; Prothrombin is also reduced when excessive use of dicarboxycoumarin for thrombosis prevention; In intravenous nutrition, antibiotics were added to the infusion injection to prevent the synthesis of vitamin K2 in the intestine; However, the conversion of water-soluble vitamin K3 derivatives into activated vitamin K is too slow and ineffective. Vitamin K2 deficiency can also occur when the biliary tract is obstructed, and must be given at the same time as bile salts when given orally or through the digestive tract.

In some liver diseases, vitamin K supplementation is ineffective to coagulation due to insufficiency and decreased coagulation factor synthesis, and vitamin K2 supplementation is required.

2. Vitamin KZ can prevent liver cirrhosis from progressing to liver cancer.

Japanese researchers reported in the July 21 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association that daily vitamin K2 supplementation in women with viral cirrhosis may help prevent the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. This preliminary conclusion needs to be confirmed by large-scale clinical studies, and further research is needed on whether vitamin K2 has the same effect in male patients.

3. To prevent osteoporosis, vitamin K2 can promote the production of bone protein, and then form bone together with calcium, increase bone density and prevent fractures.
