Here’s another great bonus about dark leafy greens: they have very little carbohydrate in them, and the carbs that are there are packed in layers of fiber, which make them slow to digest, which is why greens have very little impact on blood glucose. But the star of these nutrients is probably Vitamin K. A cup of most cooked greens provides at least nine times the minimum recommended intake of Vitamin K, and even a couple of cups of dark salad greens usually provide the minimum all on their own.  New research has provided evidence that this vitamin may be even more important than we once thought (aka–the current minimum may not be optimal), and many of us don’t get enough of it.   And what does Vitamin K do exactly? It regulates blood clotting, helps protect bones from osteoporosis, and may help prevent and possibly even reduce atherosclerosis by reducing calcium in arterial plaques.  Vitamin K may also be a key regulator of inflammation, and may help protect us from inflammatory diseases including arthritis and diabetes.  Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, so make sure to put dressing on your salad, or cook your greens with oil to get maximum benefit from this great green vitamin.
