The first category: alcoholic food.
If patients with atrial fibrillation must stay away from alcohol, drinking alcohol will increase the risk of arrhythmia, make the heart unable to contract correctly, lead to easy coagulation of blood, eventually form a thrombus, and increase the possibility of stroke. Moreover, women are more prone to stroke than men, so female patients should pay more attention to moderate drinking.
The second category: high-fat food.
Obesity and hypertension will increase the incidence of atrial fibrillation, so we usually eat low-calorie foods, such as vegetables and low-sugar foods, to lose weight. Pay special attention to trans fats, which are the most dangerous. They are usually mixed with margarine. Among the foods we usually eat, bread and butter, biscuits, potato chips, donuts and so on. The trans fat content is high.
The third category: salt.
There is a saying that "eating too much salt is easy to atrial fibrillation", which means that patients with atrial fibrillation must eat food with less salt. The main salt is sodium, so we should pay attention to eating less food containing sodium in our diet, which can effectively protect the heart and reduce atrial fibrillation. In particular, many frozen foods will add a lot of salt as a preservative. When eating, you can look at the ingredient list on the food.
Summary:
Atrial fibrillation is not a minor illness, it often happens in the elderly, and the older you get, the greater the chance. Therefore, we should pay attention to a balanced diet at a young age. If you are already suffering from atrial fibrillation, keeping a cheerful mood is also a good way to overcome the disease. Excessive tension can also cause atrial fibrillation. Moreover, it is necessary to regularly check the electrocardiogram, keep abreast of the state of illness, and make constant changes.
