Chicken and Turkey
Chicken and turkey are lean poultry options that align with the American Heart Association’s recommendations for managing AFib. These proteins provide essential nutrients without the saturated fats found in red meats.
Rich in amino acids, poultry supports muscle health and overall well-being. When prepared without excessive added fats, these lean meats can be part of a heart-healthy diet, contributing to weight management and reducing the risk of conditions associated with AFib.
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds offer a convenient and nutrient-dense addition to an AFib-conscious diet. [7] Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants.
These components collectively support heart health, potentially reducing the risk factors associated with AFib. Including various nuts and seeds in daily snacks or meals contributes to satiety, aiding in weight management—an important consideration in managing AFib.
