Learn how to optimize vitamin D levels during fall with sun exposure tips, food sources, D3 supplements, and strategies to maintain 60 to 80 ng/mL blood levels.
Research indicates an important role for vitamins D and K together in modulating immune responses and potentially reducing inflammation-related diseases.
Vitamin D plays a regulatory role in bone formation, carbohydrate metabolism, immune responses, and cardiovascular regulation. Research has linked vitamin D deficiency to the development of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancer, and osteoporosis. Vitamin K has been associated with a reduced risk of osteoporosis, cancer, and cardiovascular disease (due to improved vascular elasticity). Vitamin D is involved in cancer prevention, brain development, mitochondrial energy production, respiratory function, and antioxidant activity. Vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 has been shown to be a bioactive compound for regulating osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, cancer, inflammatory diseases, and COVID-19.
K2 supplementation is effective against the growth and metastasis of multiple cancer cell lines. Studies have shown that vitamin K2 can exhibit anti-cancer activity in various cancer cell lines, including leukemia, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, hepatocellular cancer, and bladder cancer.
Phylloquinone (vitamin K1) and menaquinones (vitamin K2 family) are essential in various physiological and pathological processes, including cancer. Vitamin K intake has been inversely associated with cancer incidence and mortality in observational studies. Functions include steroid and xenobiotic receptor activation and the regulation of oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy.
In this review, vitamin K2-7 has beneficial health effects in osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy. Furthermore, K2-7-mediated suppression of growth in cancer cells occurs through cell cycle arrest, autophagy, and apoptosis, and is also responsible for the suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators.
I must confess, if there could be anything I would actually envy the Life Styles of the Rich and Famous for, it would be an ability to head to the Southern Hemispheres at the Equinox and avoid the dark, dank, winter months. Nothing comes close to taking the aches out of the bones, old injuries to the joints than good old Sunshine. Our bodies built in processes to heal itself seem to hit their best, highest potential during the Summer. Ummm...missing and looking forward for Summer already.
Featured in todays third article, the Armstrong Sisters...all the highest praise, encouragement for them and their journey into their projects that could transform so many offenses brought on by our current broken system. This will never come from the 1%, and must come from us, from the bottom up! The 1% will pull on every trick in the book, invent what they hope will stop such positive things. They will do what they always do, attempt to make it all about an individual or individuals and attack them for anything thing they can dig up or make up. Our best interest are served by a focus on actual actions, actual results and not get snookered and deceived by Fear Porn BS like we got with the Covid Planned - Demic. Thank you's for the Armstrong Women for their courage!!! They are pursuing methods that Heal and Do Not Steal. They are giving us a template to reconnect with not only our own personal Health providing us the tools of actual Real Foods preventing not only Dis-Ease in Us, Humanity, but healing the Dis-Ease brought onto the environment and also our Society! May be just me, but sending all the best Prayers, Vibes for nothing but success and keeping at bay the Massive Too Big to Fails or Jail who are mostly focused on $$$ as a metric of what they promote as..."Efficient." What these women are doing is working literally from the ground - soil - up. Bear in mind upfront their efforts are expensive but this is a construct that has been built in by the Too Bigs so quality, actual healthy for producers, consumers, society finds it as difficult as possible to pursue the Real Deal that Heals and Does Not Steal.
