Leafy Greens Found to Significantly Lower Heart Disease Risk. Research reveals that leafy greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli are key foods for fighting heart disease. A study published in the European Journal of Nutrition shows eating 1.5 cups of these vegetables daily can lower the risk of vascular diseases. These greens are rich in vitamin K1, which helps prevent the buildup of calcium in arteries, a key factor in heart disease. Lead researcher Montana Dupuy emphasized the ease of incorporating these vegetables into daily meals for better heart health. A cup of cooked spinach offers over 800mcg of vitamin K1, far exceeding the recommended daily intake. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, responsible for one in four deaths in the UK and one Australian death every 12 minutes. The study also found that women with 30% more vitamin K1 in their diet had a lower long-term risk of vascular disease. The research team is working on developing vitamin K1-rich meals tailored to specific dietary needs, such as for aged care residents.
