The Best Diet for Treating Atrial Fibrillation

What foods should we eat and avoid to reduce our risk of atrial fibrillation?
This important video is a long time coming. In my previous videos on Afib-Red Fish, White Fish; Dark Fish, Atrial Fibrillation (nutritionfacts.org/video/red-...) and Omega 3s, Prostate Cancer, and Atrial Fibrillation (nutritionfacts.org/video/omeg... only touched on the fish connection.

The patient case reminds me of my own experience. My wife encouraged me to go on a WFPB diet. At the time I was eating a “healthy” diet but still had dairy and animal protein. I was also taking 5 medications and supplements every day at a doctors direction. After 3 months on a WFPB diet, I was doing well enough that I was taken off all my daily medications and my last labs show my total cholesterol is now lower than when I was taking medication.

I did exactly the same as the guy you talked about, changing his diet. and my heart palpitations that were with me for 3 years disappeared and never came back. I’ve never gone back to eating animal products, thanks Doc for sharing this video 💛

[@tonynes3577]

I stopped drinking alcohol and immediately stopped having heart palpitations (but not sure if I had AFib). I still drink coffee and tea. Although careful with overdosing on them. Too much green tea will stimulate my heart. Also I have to take thyroid medication, but I find that the medication will stimulate me and start giving me heart palpitations so I'm taking less of it. I prefer to live with my hypothyroidism. On to the plant based foods! Thanks doc!😊🙏

That’s because this video doesn’t provide a balanced view of research. Nutrition research is notoriously difficult and flashing a few papers to prove a point isn’t enough. Thats not to say the recommended diet is bad. But neither is low carb or keto based on natural foods. It may just depend on the individual what works best.

I wish you had better than one person's anecdotal experience. I do have my own anecdotal experience. I have AFib, and I did keto for a while and was able to lose quite a bit of weight, but my heart hated it. All kinds of extra beats PACs and PVCs. Some form of tachycardia. Until eventually I couldn't take it anymore, and I switched to plant-based. I put the weight back on, but my heart is quiet as a mouse. Edit: of course you can lose weight on plant based! It just takes more discipline. I could eat without thinking about it and still lose weight on keto. I will never go back to keto knowing how it affected my heart. It's OKAY for both things to be true. There's a reason keto is popular.

[@aureliaglenn2220]

Depending on how you do things, you can also lose weight on a plant-based diet.

Going mostly raw vegan for a period should take the weight off. Then WFPB, not just "plant-based." I'm going to do that someday.

Going WFPB will take the weight off. That's how I dropped 50 pounds a couple of years ago, still eat this way. Pre-load and sequence your meals (eat soup, salad, fruit, or vegetables first, then the rest of your meal. And don't cook with oil--it's easier than you think.)

I dealt with AFib and hyperkalemia I was circling the drain I thought I was eating healthy Kidney function was at 10% I refused to consider dialysis and decided to radically change my diet. Potassium Sodium and phosphates are too high in my blood still I look to plant based diet more even though many fruits and vegetables are off my diet as well. It’s very hard to regulate but beats hell out of letting a machine try to futility do it for me. Finding foods that can fit in this diet is hard But my kidneys are just above 20% and I’m still here.

[@asldfjkalsdfjasdf]

Try to especially limit your fat and protein intake while maintaining calories on whole plants. This might help get things going again. Stay vigilant as you seem to be right now. Look for presentations on the rice diet by dr. john mcdougall although i would not recommend going on the rice diet unsupervised and especially not for long term. Maybe consider doing a water fast at the true north fasting center.

[@james4582]

@Jipee Juhu Thanks for the reply. I do regulate my diet carefully I still eat some portions of beef and chicken st very small amounts when I do 3-4 oz when I do. Certain fish and seafood. No pork ever mostly plant based but even then regulated by potassium count and no salt. There are a lot of vegetables and fruits that are off the list because of that. Liquids are regulated close to 40oz per day (all liquids) I use rice frequently. I read labels and pick foods that fit within my diet. I don’t do without just differently. It’s not easy and yeah I fudge a bit from time to time but it’s been working for me. Constant monitoring of my stats by myself and frequent doctor visits carefully shopping works. It’s definitely a challenge for sure especially getting food to taste good and where I’m located it’s extremely hot weather and I get thirsty lol I might add I am 77 years old with other issues as well heart and mobility yet I live slone and love to prepare my own meals so that is a good thing. When I go out it gets more difficult and harder to pick foods that stem loaded with salt and other stuff that’s not good but it can be done. I’m going to say not many can do it but I can within limits. Most people I know would rather use dialysis which I see as slow miserable death sentence.

I guess it was only a matter of time that this video would come out. Many years ago I read about the great benefits of lowcarb and high fat diets. So I followed that for 2.5 years and I got constantly worse day by day - without able to identify the reason (I thought it was stress at work). It ended with a suspected stroke and a permanent fibrillation with a heart rate of 200 b/sec. Only through cardioversion it could be stopped. After that my cardiologists strongly advised me to stop lowcarb/high fat and do the exact opposite ie lot of fruit and veggies, whole grain, legumes and very little animal products. And behold, now after 5 years on >95% whole plant based diet all my arrhythmia stopped. No more afib, nothing. I even got rid from my otherwise lifelong blood thinner medication. Low carb promise charlatans should be locked up. They are criminals and butchers.

How on earth has no one done a large-scale interventional trial on patients with AFib to see how effective a WFPB diet is at curing it? AFib affects so many people now. It seems relatively straightforward to set up, and this lack of evidence seems like an enormous hole in the medical literature. I like to share these videos with friends and family, but there is usually SO much more compelling evidence in the studies than there is in this case.

Next, there are many people who claim to be doing very well on a carnivore diet. Finally, there was this study done on thousands of mental patients in the 60s and 70s to prove that a diet to lower cholesterol would lower the number of heart attacks. The new diet did lower cholesterol but they also had the most heart attacks. Now there are people who are even claiming that plants have chemicals to protect them from anything trying to eat them and therefore can be harmful to one’s health. Sheesh!

The most infuriating part of being an n of 1 and getting lipids checked is you cannot get a comprehensive lipid panel (not the test where they do simple math to determine levels) without a doctor order.

I've had the opposite effect, since I started a low carb diet my AFIB stopped. Low carb diets reduce blood sugar, which reduces insulin. Insulin is a big inflammatory.

There are several reasons for leaky gut, but chief among them is pesticides. You can check PubMed, but if you want a gentle introduction to the topic I'd recommend listening to Zack Bush /watch?v=X3aOQ0N74PI. By the way, where did you get the idea that anti-nutrients lead to leaky gut? Never heard something like that before. Lastly, I don't like the term "antinutrients" in the first place. Every single nutrient has an effect on the other chemicals in your body, whether it's the minerals in meat and nuts or phytochemicals. So all nutrients are antinutrients in the sense that they block or prevent other nutrients. Every single one of them. Clearly, some block more than others, but really it's a misleading concept.
