What Diet is best for A-Fib?

Sher’s Shop and Articles is about giving you Resources to make your own decisions for your A-Fib. With all the researching I’ve done, the resources are still vast and some vague.

In this article I wanted to share with you, the importance of a special diet called the Mediterranean diet, I’m sure you’ve heard of it. It fits very well into your daily life if you have A-Fib or even if you don’t it’s the best diet for A-Fib out there hands down.

There are 10 foods for A-Fib you should be adding to your diet if you have Atrial Fibrillation. The (AHA) American Heart Association recommends a list of foods to eat while on the Mediterranean diet that is best for A-Fib.

Mediterranean Diet

Each serving should contain

A generous portion of vegetables, a source of foods containing protein such as;

Lean meat and poultry and if you can’t eat red meat try, beans, nuts, soy, quinoa, seafood, eggs, seeds, soy products and peanut butter are high in protein. In addition to olive oil, you can substitute it for avocado oil, flaxseed oil or hemp seed oil.

If you are a vegetarian or vegan, you can follow a plant-based diet that consists of vegetables, fruits, whole grain, legumes and proteins from nonanimal sources.

Protein is important for growth and development, especially during childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy.
