Study links greens to lung health

Researchers have found that higher dietary intake of vitamin K1, primarily found in leafy green vegetables, is associated with improved lung function and a reduced risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study analyzed data from over 179,000 participants and found that increased vitamin K1 intake was linked to a 16% lower likelihood of developing COPD, especially among smokers and high-risk workers. No connection was observed between vitamin K2 and COPD, and the study cannot confirm causation, but suggests that consuming more leafy greens may support lung health.
