Food Spotlight

Broccoli...

..along with kale and other dark leafy greens, is high in vitamin K, a nutrient that half of us don't get enough of. A new study found that those who ate more than 240 micrograms a day (the amount in just over a cup of broccoli) were 28% less likely to die from heart disease. One explanation? Vitamin K may help keep arteries clear of life-threatening blockages.
