Guys, reduce your risk of developing prostate cancer by including more vitamin K2 in your diet.

New research, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that men who consumed higher amounts of vitamin K2 during an eight-year period were 35% less likely to develop prostate cancer. When only advanced cases of prostate cancer were considered, the correlation was even clearer with the risk being reduced by 63%.

To increase your intake of vitamin K2, include cheese, meat and natto (fermented soy beans) in your diet.
