Bok Choy with Avocado Dressing - Vegan

Bok choy is an excellent choice for bone health due to its combination of low oxalate content and high vitamin K levels.
Low Oxalate Content: Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds found in various foods, and they can bind to calcium in the body and impact calcium absorption. Bok choy is considered a low-oxalate leafy green vegetable compared to high-oxalate foods like spinach and Swiss chard. This makes bok choy a safer choice for individuals prone to kidney stones or those who need to manage their oxalate intake.
High in Vitamin K: Bok choy is rich in vitamin K, particularly vitamin K1 (phylloquinone). Vitamin K plays a critical role in bone health by helping to regulate calcium metabolism. It is essential for the activation of osteocalcin, a protein involved in bone mineralization. Adequate vitamin K intake can improve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.
The combination of low oxalate content and high vitamin K levels in bok choy makes it a bone-healthy food choice. By providing the necessary nutrients for bone health and reducing the risk of kidney stone formation, bok choy supports overall skeletal well-being.
