Best AFib Meal Plans: Foods to Eat & Avoid

Protein-rich foods

According to the American College of Cardiology, increased protein consumption is associated with a reduced risk of AFib in women. In the study examined, women who ate as little as 58 to 74 grams of protein daily had a 5 to 8 percent lower incidence of [2] AFib compared to those who did not. This amount translates to about two eggs or a chicken breast. Make sure you get your protein from heart-healthy sources. Eat lean meat like fish and poultry, beans, nuts, and seeds.
