- 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.
I previously reported on the dangers of low-carb diets in:
• Atkins Diet: Trouble Keeping It Up (nutritionfacts.org/video/atki...)
• Paleolithic Lessons (nutritionfacts.org/video/pale...)
• Whole Grains May Work as Well as Drugs (nutritionfacts.org/video/whol...)
• Low-Carb Diets and Coronary Blood Flow (nutritionfacts.org/video/low-...)
• Alzheimer’s Disease: Grain Brain or Meathead? (nutritionfacts.org/video/alzh...)
• Does a Ketogenic Diet Help Diabetes or Make It Worse? (nutritionfacts.org/video/does...)
• Keto Diets: Muscle Growth and Bone Density (nutritionfacts.org/video/keto...)
The video I mentioned about the risk of medications is Why Prevention Is Worth a Ton of Cure (nutritionfacts.org/video/why-....

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.
This video is misleading at best. Do your own research.
To lower my blood pressure I was exercising 4-5 times a day but for years it just kept climbing to over 155/105! It wasnt until i went vegan and was eating mostly whole foods my bp dropped. Not only did it drop substantially, but it has stayed at an optimal level of 100/60 for years! My heart rate has also dropped from 85 resting to 48. If thats not enough to get someone to change their lifestyle, they ought to look at what is happening to the environment and every single weather catastrophe can be linked to animal agriculture. Its time to listen to the science
What BS. I DEVELOPED AFIB with a high carb diet, am experiencing relief with elimination of carbs, legumes spike my afib.
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.
This video is false ...coffee doesn't cause afib??? That's first thing I had to cut off ...when I eat plain chicken I also do not get afib palps
some of this is wrong, caffeine does affect afib i know this from experience.
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 💛
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!😊🙏
I don’t believe a word of this.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I've always found that I feel awful when I've had anywhere near a high amount of fat - tachycardia, vomiting, feeling faint ... and I feel pretty bad if I don't get my carbs! This all seems to have fallen into place with my heart condition.

These are amazing!! Keep up the amazing work and spreading all this information!
Just donated $20 😊 Thank you so much for this video, Dr. Greger! My dad has afib but just like the case you highlighted here, he has come off all of his medications and we are hoping he is well on his way to whole health before too long!
Thanks for this, much appreciated
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.
I dealt with AFib and hyperkalemia I was circling the drain I thought I was eating healthy
Amazing content
Thank you!
