The #1 Cause of Arterial Stiffness (Hypertension)

The #1 Cause of Arterial Stiffness (Hypertension)

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.
