Healthy Diet for Palpitation:

The common advice dispensed by medical experts when it comes to treating palpitation is to embark on a healthy and balanced diet. A healthy diet means eating fresh foods, especially fruits and vegetables while cutting down consumption of meat and processed foods. It also involves eating at the proper interval and at the right amount.

A healthy and balanced diet will make the body healthy and strengthen the immune system, making it resistant to abnormal conditions such as palpitations.

When it comes to dieting, the following factors will do well to a person suffering from palpitations:

• Cut down on the intake of carbohydrates. Although carbohydrates provide the body with the needed energy, the problem arises when the body does not immediately use the energy from carbohydrates. When this happens, the carbohydrates are stored as fats. This has a negative effect on your health, as fats are known to cause blockages in the arteries, which contributes to the incidence of palpitations.
• Avoid coffee and soft drinks when experiencing episodes of palpitation.
• Embark on a high protein diet. The best source of protein is from lean meat, egg, lentils, cereals, fish etc.
  Having sufficient protein ensures that the blood and heart muscles are kept healthy.
