There's a lovely little nutrient that could help nudge your blood
fats in the right direction. We're talking about vitamin K, the stuff
found in kale and other leafy greens.

In a study of pre-middle-aged adults, those who had the highest
blood levels of vitamin K had the most favorable HDL and triglyceride
profiles.

The Many Roles of K

Most people fall short on vitamin K intake every day. But your body
needs K for blood clotting and bone remodeling. And now a new study
shows that K may play a role in balancing blood fats. In the study, the
people who had the most K in their diets were less likely to fall short
on HDL (healthy) cholesterol and less likely to have off-the-charts
triglycerides compared with the people who got the least vitamin K.
