*What’s That About Fermented Foods And Bone Health?* - Fermented foods contain vitamin K2, which is also found in egg yolk, eel (yes, that snake-like fish), chicken liver, cheese, and meats like pork and beef. - Fermented foods include sour milk (unpasteurized), sauerkraut, natto, kimchi, among others. - Vitamin K2 ‘patrols’ the body looking to bind itself to calcium ‘hiding’ in soft tissues, and then ‘delivers’ that calcium to the bones. Vitamin K1 can do this, too, but less efficiently. When one has healthy amounts of gut bacteria, these help convert K1 to K2. Nearly all if not all leafy greens contain K1. - Calcium is ‘dumb’ sort of, and doesn’t know how to go to the bones. It likes soft tissues like arteries and organs. Even kidney stones are made up largely of calcium. - It’s dangerous to supplement calcium alone as it can clog arteries and contribute to clots, stroke, hypertension and heart disease. Best to supplement calcium with magnesium and Vitamins D and K2. - Vitamin K2 does an amazing job at clearing arteries of arterial plaque, as calcium accounts for a good chunk of the plaque/blockage in blood vessels.
