Summary
Details

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of irregular heartbeat that can seriously impact your quality of life, especially as you age. AFib becomes more common in seniors because the heart naturally undergoes changes over time.

For example, the heart muscles might become less elastic, affecting their ability to pump blood efficiently. This decline often happens alongside age-related conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or arthritis, making AFib management more challenging for older adults.

Unlike younger adults, seniors may experience AFib symptoms more subtly. While some feel heart palpitations or a racing pulse, others might mostly notice fatigue or shortness of breath. Understanding these differences is the first step to effectively managing the condition.

While medication is often a core part of managing AFib, diet can be just as important. The food you eat can help regulate your body's electrolyte balance, reduce inflammation, and even lower your risk of stroke. For seniors, eating well isn't just about addressing AFib. It's about meeting the unique nutritional needs that come with aging.

A thoughtful diet tailored to manage AFib focuses on eating nutrient-rich whole foods, staying hydrated, and avoiding processed ingredients or known triggers like excess salt or caffeine. Adjustments to portion sizes and the incorporation of key nutrients like potassium and magnesium can provide extra benefits.
