Summary of Transcript:
The video explains that arterial stiffness, or the calcification of arteries, is a common problem that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. The problem can come from getting older, inflammation, or a vitamin K2 deficiency. Vitamin K2 is essential for driving calcium into bones and keeping it from building up in the arteries, which can reduce the risk of heart attacks. Vitamin K2 is found in high-fat foods such as meat, organ meat, egg yolks, and fermented foods like natto. Combining vitamin K2 with vitamin D3 can improve vascular health and reduce thickness in the walls of arteries. Calcium supplements without vitamin K2 can increase the risk of dying from a heart attack. People taking the clot-preventing drug Warfarin should be aware that it blocks the protein that inhibits calcification in the vascular system, potentially leading to calcium buildup in the arteries. The video recommends increasing vitamin K2 foods, taking vitamin D3 with K2, following a low carb diet, and avoiding omega-6 fatty acids to reduce inflammation in the arteries.

Summary of Description:
Stiff arteries or calcified arteries are caused by several factors, including age, inflammation, a high-carb, high-sugar diet, and omega-6 fatty acids. However, many people are unaware that a vitamin K2 deficiency is also a hidden cause. Vitamin K2 is crucial in keeping calcium out of the arteries and the walls of the arteries, thus decreasing the risk of heart attack. Foods rich in vitamin K2 include meats, organ meats, egg yolks, grass-fed butter, dairy, and yogurt. Adding vitamin K2 to vitamin D3 supports the arteries, and for every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3, 100 mcg of vitamin K2 should be consumed. It is advised to avoid calcium supplements without consuming enough vitamin K2, and people taking warfarin should also be cautious about vascular calcification’s side effects. A low-carb diet, avoidance of omega-6 fatty acids, and consumption of vitamin K2-rich foods or supplements are all recommended to support artery health.

Discover the Hidden Cause of Stiff Arteries
As human beings, we are prone to various health problems that include heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure. One of the lesser-known causes of these issues is arterial stiffness and calcified arteries. Several factors can contribute to the hardening of your arteries, such as age, inflammation, a high-carb, high-sugar diet, and omega-6 fatty acids. However, did you know that a vitamin K2 deficiency can be another hidden cause of arterial stiffness?
Benefits of Vitamin K2 for the Arteries
Vitamin K2 helps by driving calcium into the bones, making them stronger while keeping calcium out of the arteries and their walls. It can decrease the risk of a heart attack by 50 percent, and its deficiency can lead to hardened arteries. Therefore, it is essential to consume foods rich in vitamin K2, such as meats, organ meats, egg yolks, grass-fed butter, dairy, and yogurt. Additionally, you can support your arteries by adding vitamin K2 to vitamin D3. For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3, supplementing with 100 mcg of vitamin K2 is highly recommended.
Considerations
Taking a calcium supplement (1,000 mg or more a day) with or without vitamin D increases the risk of a heart attack, which is why it is essential to consume vitamin K2. Also, people on warfarin medication should be cautious because one of the side effects is vascular calcification.
In summary, to maintain healthy arteries, it is recommended to get on a low-carb diet, avoid omega-6 fatty acids, and eat vitamin K2-rich foods or take a supplement. It is also best to consult a physician before making changes to your health regimen or diet.

Unfortunately, heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure are common problems. So, today we’re going to talk about what causes arterial stiffness or calcified arteries.
Common causes of stiff arteries:
• Age
• Inflammation
• A high-carb, high-sugar diet
• Omega-6 fatty acids
There is one additional cause of hardened arteries that many people are unaware of, and it’s a vitamin K2 deficiency.
Vitamin K2 drives calcium into the bones to help make them stronger and keeps calcium out of the arteries and the walls of the arteries. Vitamin K2 may decrease the risk of heart attack by 50 percent.
Foods high in vitamin K2:
• Meats
• Organ meats
• Egg yolks
• Grass-fed butter
• Dairy
• Yogurt
Adding vitamin K2 to vitamin D3 is a fantastic way to support the arteries. For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 you take, you should also consume 100 mcg of vitamin K2.
It’s important to note that people who take a calcium supplement (1,000 mg or more a day), with or without vitamin D, increase the risk of a heart attack. This could be because of the lack of vitamin K2. It’s also important to keep in mind that one of the side effects of warfarin is vascular calcification.
To support the arteries, get on a low-carb diet, avoid omega-6 fatty acids, and consume foods rich in vitamin K2. If you take a vitamin K2 supplement, it may be best to take vitamin D3 as well.
