“Vitamin K is a type of fat-soluble vitamin that participates in blood clotting, cardiovascular health, and bone metabolism. Naturally occurring forms of vitamin K include phylloquinone, known as vitamin K1, and a family of molecules called menaquinones, known as vitamin K2.”

“00:11:33 - How intermittent fasting confers many health benefits by physiologically stressing your metabolism and causing a switch from burning carbohydrates to fat. 00:16:14 - Comparing the differences and similarities of daily time-restricted eating with 5:2 weekly intermittent fasting.”

“Since then, countless studies have tested Pauling's theories about vitamin C, colds, and cancer (and many others), and a substantial body of evidence has emerged, identifying critical roles for vitamin C in immune function, cardiovascular and respiratory health, cognitive development and preservation, and many other aspects of human health.”
