8. Diet for AFIB
There is no specific diet for atrial fibrillation. However, healthy food is essential for your heart and overall health. The best diet for a heart condition should be high in plant-based foods such as oats, fruits, and vegetables. Fish is also recommended because it is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein, which are great for the health of your heart.
Additionally, there are certain foods that you should avoid. These include alcohol, caffeine, gluten, salt, and saturated fats. Each of these forbidden foods may cause problems for cardiac patients. An AFIB diet is similar to the one that you should follow if you have high cholesterol levels or other cardiac problems.
