Certain foods, such as caffeine or alcohol, have the potential to trigger AFib. A diet that promotes heart health may help manage and reduce the symptoms of this condition. Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of arrhythmia that affects the upper chambers of the heart. The electrical impulses that control these chambers fire in a disorganized way, leading to an irregular heartbeat. AFib itself is not a life threatening condition.

When it comes to achieving fat loss goals, it’s crucial to recognize the significant role that diet plays.

Protein builds and maintains muscles and bones, fat provides insulation and helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. and carbs energize the body’s cells, tissues, and organs.

This type of diet not only helps with […]
