The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of a high vitamin K diet intervention on vitamin K, insulin, osteocalcin serum levels and the cardiovascular risk percentage in normal weight and overweight or obese young adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Does a diet intervention containing 500mcg of vitamin K increases serum vitamin K levels? • Are vitamin K serum levels after the 500mcg of vitamin K diet intervention associated with insulin and osteocalcin serum levels or the cardiovascular risk percentage in normal weight and overweight or obese young adults? Participants will have to follow a diet intervention that contains 500mcg of vitamin K, given as a cyclic menu for 6 weeks. Also, participants will have to assist weekly to nutritional monitoring and to report any situation they observed regarding the intervention during this study. Researchers will compare normal weight and overweight or obese groups with diet intervention with normal weight and overweight or obese groups without diet intervention and only dietetic recommendations to see if vitamin K serum levels, insulin, osteocalcin and the cardiovascular risk percentage improve after the 6 weeks diet intervention.
