@Chuck C , @pellicle :
May I ask what your weekly diets look like in terms of those foods with impactful VitK amounts? (broccoli, spinach, asparagus, salads, etc)?
I eat tons of foods rich in vitamin K. Foods rich in vitamin K are amongst the very healthiest that we can eat- such as leafy greens. All should strive to eat a heart healthy diet, perhaps those who have had valve issues, even more important. As such, I try to eat as healthy as I can, and that means lots of leafy greens and other vegetables.
Typical day.
Most days I do time restricted eating, so my first meal is often around 12pm. I typically eat a very large Mediterranean salad which would look something like this:
about 100 grams of leafy greens, including spinach. kale and chard.
About 75 grams of shredded broccoli,
chopped bell peppers, red, yellow and orange.
sundried tomatoes
whole olives
chopped onions
1 tbsp of chia seeds
about half an avocado
black beans
a little cheese, typically Romano, parmesan or cheddar
a low carb dressing made with extra virgin olive oil.
I will often add about 4 oz of wild caught sockeye salmon.
For dinner, I will usually eat another serving of my salad, or eat what my wife makes, which is often a salad or, like last night, something like a tofu scramble loaded with vegetables.
So, you can see I eat a lot of greens and other vegetables high in vitamin k. I see no reason to limit my intake at all, and many reasons to eat a diet rich in these vegetables. I'm in INR range well over 90% of the time.
