High in potassium and low in sodium, bananas are an excellent food choice for individuals with AFIB. Potassium is a crucial mineral in maintaining a regular heart rhythm, and having enough potassium in your diet can help prevent AFIB episodes.
Plus, bananas are a good source of dietary fiber. Fiber is essential in maintaining a healthy weight and managing blood cholesterol levels, both of which are vital for heart health and managing AFIB.
Incorporating bananas into your diet is simple. Have one as a quick and easy snack, slice it onto your morning cereal or yogurt, or blend it into a smoothie.
Keep in mind that while bananas are healthy, they do contain sugar. So as always, it’s important to consume them as part of a balanced diet. (10)
