Essential Guide With Healthy And Delicious Recipes For People With Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat. It affects more than 2.7 million people in the United States, and its prevalence increases with age. AFib can cause a variety of symptoms, including palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness. It can also increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and death.

There is no cure for AFib, but it can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery. One important part of managing AFib is eating a healthy diet. Eating a heart-healthy diet can help to reduce the risk of complications and improve overall health.

A heart-healthy diet is one that is low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. It is also high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Eating a heart-healthy diet can help to lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and improve blood sugar control.
