so why would someone get heart

palpitations after they eat let’s talk

about that first of all what is the

palpitation

it’s a skipped beat it could be an extra

beat as well you also have PVCs and pa

CS this stands for premature ventricular

contractions or premature atrial

contractions you don’t need to know that

all you need to know is both of these

are extra abnormal beats that can occur

a palpitation is an irregular heartbeat

it’s a sensation that you feel in the

chest area like a flip-flop or something

that starts and stops and it has to do

with your heart pacemaker it’s called a

cardiac pacemaker a pacemaker is a group

of cells that are automatically

programmed to keep the heart and rhythm

an average person at rest normally has a

heartbeat of 70 70 beats per minute and

what’s happening is you’re getting this

rhythmic electrical impulse that causes

the heart to contract which pushes the

blood through the lungs to get oxygen

carries it through the body gives oxygen

to the cells which comes back through

the other side of the heart and the

whole cycle starts over again at the

cellular level you’re getting this

exchange with different electrolytes

okay which are electrically charged

minerals like potassium and sodium and

magnesium and chloride and calcium and

you have these little tiny pumps that

are made of protein that are pumping in

and out of the cells at a very very fast

rate like a thousand per second these

different electrolytes and what causes

the electrolytes to travel are the

difference in electrical charge the

difference in pH and the difference in

concentration of certain minerals and on

top of that you have a part of the

nervous system called the autonomic

nervous system so it’s a bit complex so

let’s just get into what causes

palpitations and by the way palpitations

skip heart beats are a precursor for a

more serious problem like atrial

fibrillation and other more it

Vance problems with the rhythm of the

heartbeat but let’s get into the main

causes and the ones that are more common

than others the big one is digestion

when I was in practice there’s so many

people that came in with palpitations

and digestive problems and I’m talking

about heartburn acid reflux GERD and

gall bladder issues and that could be

burping belching bloating gall stones

sludge in the gall bladder and a lot of

those cases had complications so what is

the connection well we don’t exactly

know but it’s probably the pressure

that’s occurring inside the bile ducts

and a lot of times when you have a gall

bladder problem you have a buildup of

pressure somewhere in the tubes between

the liver and the gallbladder or the

liver and the small intestine and when

that pressure builds up it can create a

lot of soft tissue guarding and tension

and spasm around the area and because

the bile ducts and the gallbladder are

so closely connected to the

cardiovascular system that pressure can

then affect the heart and cause these

palpitations I’m going to talk about

what to do about that in a little bit

but let’s go to number two low potassium

this is probably one of the top causes

as well

why because potassium is the main

electrolyte that controls the pacemaker

and if you’re low in potassium the risks

go up for you getting palpitations and

other problems even atrial fibrillation

which is a more advanced version of that

number three let’s say your pH is too

alkaline and what I’m talking about

alkaline I’m talking about when the pH

goes higher okay the lower you get the

more acidic things are if the blood pH

which normally should be between seven

point three five and seven point four

five goes above seven point four or five

even a little bit your body is now

excessively alkaline it’s called

alkalosis that occurs the minerals

specifically potassium doesn’t move that

well through the body through the heart

so if your pH is too alkaline that could

be the cause and before caffeine too

much caffeine can cause this problem to

which alcohol a hyper thyroid condition

I’m not gonna focus on these right here

I want to focus on these two right here

which are the more common let’s take a

look at that right now all right so if

you have digestive problems whether

bloating heartburn GERD acid reflux I

put some links down below so you can get

a lot more information on what to do

about it

but the simple thing to do would be to

start doing in a minute fasting for

those of you that are new to my channel

I put a link down below if you’re not

new to my channel you know what a minute

fasting is because that is the most

powerful thing that you can do to take

the pressure off the digestive system

and let the digestive system actually

reset and heal especially the

gallbladder you also need to avoid

refined carbohydrates and vegetable oils

like in soy oil in corn oil these two

types of so-called foods are very very

hard on the gallbladder and the stomach

and they’re highly associated with

causing that pressure build up in those

tubes simple thing to do would be do

healthy ki tale put a link down below

for those of you that don’t know what

that is

that will help the digestion and that

will decrease the risk of getting these

palpitations alright number two

alkalinity if you have low potassium

that could be the cause of your body

being too alkaline if you have high

cortisol if you’re too stressed out that

could be the reason why your body is too

alkaline I know a lot of people are

trying to alkalize the body because they

think they’re too acid and that might be

the case but there’s also another

problem of being too alkaline and that

will affect the minerals especially

potassium I put a link down below if

you’re confused on that so you can

understand pH also low hydrochloric acid

okay like in your stomach that can

create a problem with your pH as well in

which case you want to start consuming

apple cider vinegar some

through the diet if you do a combination

of healthy keto like I’m recommending

for this I always recommend apple cider

vinegar with that program so you should

kill two birds with one stone next thing

and this is very very common

you just have low potassium that’s going

to set you up for this problem now why

are you low in potassium maybe you’re on

a diuretic because you have high blood

pressure well guess what there’s three

things that cause high blood pressure

one would be low potassium so in other

words the low potassium is causing the

high blood pressure which causes you to

take a diuretic which depletes your

potassium you see the problem there also

if you’re low in vitamin D which a lot

of people are that can cause

hypertension and deplete your potassium

reserves and if you have high insulin

which the majority population has or you

have insulin resistance or you’re

pre-diabetic that can cause a depletion

of potassium diarrhea that can also

deplete your potassium levels as well as

other electrolytes if you’re on any

assets that can cause low potassium

because it takes a very strong acid

stomach to absorb these minerals thus

the outside of vinegar in your diet and

lastly let’s say you’re just not

consuming enough dietary potassium this

is very common why because you don’t

consume enough vegetables it takes seven

to ten cups of vegetables to get close

to your daily amount of potassium that

your body needs so you need to up these

if you’re having a hard time with this I

put a link down below of an electrolyte

powder that may help you as well all

right there you have it

the actual causes of palpitations after

you eat and when you’re not eating as
