Survivalist Tip: For some reason, biologists decided to jump from E to K when naming vitamins. It’s almost as senseless as the Jewish rite of circumcision, but at least no helpless babies are butchered so their already-overweight grandmothers can have something else to eat. Vitamin K is known as the clotting vitamin because, without it, well…blood wouldn’t clot. Vitamin K also helps maintain strong bones in elderly people. Therefore, it – like all the other vitamins – is a critical piece of your survivalist cache. It’s found mostly in leafy green vegetables, such as kale and spinach, but also in broccoli and cauliflower. Fish, liver, meat, eggs and some cereal grains also contain Vitamin K, although in smaller amounts. In the chaotic aftermath of the apocalypse, you may find yourself in the struggle for survival over food, water and chocolate. There’s a good chance you’ll have to beat the crap out of someone just to stay alive. Healthy intakes of Vitamin K, therefore, will prevent you from bruising and bleeding easily. The ancient Mayans had strong bones and tough skins thanks to a healthy, vitamin-rich diet. It’s why their descendants are still alive today and more than ready for the start of Baktun 12. If they’d maintained a diet of communion wafers and red wine like Roman Catholic priests had wanted them to do, they all would have died out long ago!
