New research suggests that diets low in vitamin K may impact memory and accelerate cognitive decline. 

A study on mice found that those with low vitamin K levels had worse learning and memory function, and lower levels of vitamin K in the brain were associated with decreased neurogenesis and increased neuroinflammation.

The findings point to the importance of vitamin K in maintaining cognitive function and highlight the need for further research in this area. Vitamin K-rich foods, such as dark leafy vegetables and certain fruits, may be beneficial for maintaining healthy cognitive function.

Limitations: Using a mouse model, unsure how humans will respond compared to mice.
