Being conscious with what we eat is very important. It only tells that we are very concerned with our health. Anyway, if we don’t become as such, we will be the ones who will suffer in the end. We should be very aware of the food we eat and those benefits we can get from them.
Phosphorus is one of the minerals that are essential for your body. Along with calcium, copper, fluoride, boron, iron, magnesium, manganese, isoflavones, protein, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K and zinc, it helps to keep your bones healthy. However, getting too much phosphorus in your diet can be detrimental to your bone health.
Your body needs phosphorus for creating cell membranes, producing energy, carrying oxygen throughout the body, creating DNA and RNA, maintaining the proper acid-base balance in the body and activating various hormones and enzymes. Your bones contain most of the phosphorus that is found in your body, since phosphorus and calcium combine to form the structure of bones. About half of your bone mass is made up of phosphorus. Phosphorus is especially important during times of growth.
We all need healthy foods where we can get all the necessary vitamins and nutrients. One of these is the Vitamin K.
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin. The “K” is derived from the German word “koagulation.” Coagulation refers to the process of blood clot formation. Vitamin K is essential for the functioning of several proteins involved in blood clotting. There are two naturally occurring forms of vitamin K. Plants synthesize phylloquinone, which is also known as vitamin K1. Bacteria synthesize a range of vitamin K forms using repeating 5-carbon units in the side chain of the molecule. These forms of vitamin K are designated menaquinone-n (MK-n), where n stands for the number of 5-carbon units. MK-n is collectively referred to as vitamin K2. MK-4 is not produced in significant amounts by bacteria; instead, it appears to be synthesized by animals (including humans) from phylloquinone. MK-4 is also formed from menadione, a synthetic form of vitamin K present in animal feed. MK-4 is found in a number of organs other than the liver at higher concentrations than phylloquinone. This fact, along with the existence of a unique pathway for its synthesis, suggests that MK-4 has a unique biological function that has not yet been identified.
The only known biological role of vitamin K is as a cofactor for an enzyme that catalyzes the carboxylation of the amino acid, glutamic acid, resulting in its conversion to gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla). Although vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation occurs only on specific glutamic acid residues in a small number of vitamin K-dependent proteins, it is critical to the calcium-binding function of those proteins.
Decades have passed and there is only one major factor that causes a tremendous and global health conditions when it comes to the nature. We can never hide the effects of the global warming to our health and this has been the most favorite topics and reasons of medical discoveries today.
