I wanted to talk about atrial fib and

give you some tips that you can try now

just so you know I’m not telling you to

get off your medication

okay that’s between you and your doctor

that’s my disclaimer but the point is I

want to give you other solutions that

you can try to help your situation okay

number one atrial fib is an electrical

problem of the heart now the question is

why what controls that what controls

electricity of the heart is electrolytes

what are electrolytes those are minerals

that have electrical properties

primarily the real issue with atrial fib

is is magnesium okay so magnesium is a

electrically charged mineral in heart

that allows it to stay in rhythm and if

you have atrial fib the problem is it

increases your risk for stroke by five

to seven times okay but let’s just talk

about magnesium for a second now let’s

say you had a blood test right and it

comes out normal and you’re saying well

I’m fine because I’m I have enough

minerals and things like that first of

all they never check magnesium they

rarely check potassium those are two

main electrolytes because most of the

magnesium even if they did check the the

mineral minerals most of that museum is

in the bone it’s inside the cell it’s

not in the extracellular fluid like the

blood so that’s why it’s hard to detect

so magnesium is also present in

vegetables okay so an average person

consumes about 270 milligrams of

magnesium they need double that like 480

that’s what they need okay and probably

if they’re deficient they need a lot

more so it comes down to a couple

different root causes one is they’re not

having enough vegetable in the diet okay

and also potassium you need about 7 to

10 cups of vegetables just to get your

potassium okay but you if you eat

vegetables you’ll get both of these

minerals okay

so it’s a dietary deficiency issue it

could also be coming because your

digestive system is not right either you

have maybe some Crohn’s problem maybe

your gastric bypass maybe your stomach

is not asked

enough do you know you need a really

acid stomach to absorb magnesium yeah in

fact the symptoms of low stomach acid is

heartburn indigestion so if you have

heartburn indigestion that means you

don’t have enough acid if you want more

information on that check out my video

I’ll actually put a link below but

that’s interesting so if you have a

stomach problem that could be why you

have atrial fib because you’re not

holding the magnesium in from the diet

okay another cause could be too much

calcium if you’re taking calcium what

that will do that will shut down the

absorption of magnesium because they

both work together so if you have this

condition I don’t recommend taking any

calcium okay even even like certain

medications for high blood pressure they

give you a calcium channel blocker I

wonder why right the other thing is you

could also have a low vitamin D level

low vitamin D will prevent the

absorption of not just calcium but

magnesium as well so that could be your

real reason why you have the problem

okay so there’s a great book it’s called

beat your afib by Stephen Ryan PhD I’ll

give you a link below I think it’s a

great great book if you have this just

to get more information it’s backed up

by a lot of credible scientific studies

that you can check it out and use that

to get more knowledge about this issue

but if you’re going to get a magnesium

get something called angstrom magnesium

this is a type of magnesium that’s a

million times smaller than regular

magnesium supplements out there and so

it goes in like a rocket ship I don’t

necessarily recommend taking a potassium

supplement because they only come in 90

99 milligrams and you need forty seven

hundred milligrams you’d have to take

the whole bottle which I don’t recommend

so the best thing to do is increase your

salads start having huge salads more

vegetables through the day you have to

bite the bowl and start increasing your

vegetables and you’ll see that the

cardiovascular system will start to come

around if you have atrial fib and you

want to replenish these minerals it

doesn’t happen overnight okay because by

the time you have atrial fib you really

depleted a lot of yours

in your heart so it takes a while to get

that back it could take easily two three

four plus a month to get that back

alright but this will speed it up and

start eating better and then write your

comments below I’ll see you the next
