AFib Tip:🧂🚫 Let's Cut the Salt!

For Atrium Fibrillation month, let’s talk about salt. Keeping sodium low and avoiding processed foods can really support heart health for patients with atrial fibrillation.

Discover more management tips by following our social media, or visit afibclinic.ca, or visit www.pace-cardiology.com. For those without a healthcare provider, we also offer an AFib self referral clinic, which can be accessed via our website.

Here are some low-salt, non-processed food ideas that are flavourful, satisfying, and supportive of heart rhythm:

1. Oatmeal with Fruit & Nuts
Use old-fashioned or steel-cut oats
Add fresh berries, banana slices, and a few walnuts or almonds
No added sugar or salt needed—cinnamon adds great flavour

2. Grilled or Baked Fish
Salmon, trout, or sardines are rich in omega-3s
Season with lemon juice, garlic, herbs (like dill, parsley, or thyme)

3. Leafy Green Salads
Spinach, kale, arugula, or romaine
Add veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers
Dress with olive oil, vinegar, lemon, and herbs (skip bottled dressings)

4. Steamed or Roasted Veggies
Try broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, zucchini
Roast with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs

5. Quinoa or Brown Rice Bowls
Add black beans, avocado, roasted veggies
Flavour with lime juice and chopped cilantro

6. Unsalted Nuts & Seeds
Almonds, walnuts, chia, flax, or pumpkin seeds
Great for snacking or adding to yogurt or salads

7. Fresh Fruit
Apples, oranges, berries, kiwi, or melon
Natural sources of fibre and potassium without sodium

8. Hard-Boiled Eggs or Scrambled Tofu
Protein-packed and versatile
Flavour with black pepper, turmeric, or nutritional yeast instead of salt

9. Hummus with Fresh Veggies
Make your own to skip the salt: blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic
Serve with cucumber, celery, or bell pepper sticks

10. Homemade Soups
Use sodium-free broth or make your own
Load with fresh veggies, beans, lentils, herbs

AFib Tip: Keep Stress in Check

For atrial fibrillation (AFib) awareness month, let’s talk about stress. Stress plays a big role in triggering or worsening AFib episodes for many patients. Here are some AFib focussed tips to help manage stress: 
1. Connect with Others. Why it helps: Feeling isolated can help increase stress and emotional strain. Consider joining a local or online AFib support group or talking opening with friends and family. Try www.my-view.ca for a helpful online program.
2. Breathe Deeply. Try slow, deep breathing to calm your nervous system. Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4—repeat a few times to reset.
3. Move Gently. A short daily walk or light stretching can lower stress and support heart rhythm.
4. Unplug Regularly. Take breaks from screens, news, and social media to reduce feeling overwhelmed.
5. Wind Down Before Bed. Aim for a relaxing bedtime routine—like reading, soft music, or a warm shower—to support restful sleep.
6. Practice Mindfulness. Try meditating or breathing exercises to help you relax.

Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month: How to Protect Your Heart!

Atrial Fibrillation (Afib) is a common heart condition that affects millions, but with the right steps, it can be managed and prevented! Here’s how you can take charge of your heart health:

Stay Active: Regular exercise can help regulate your heart rhythm and keep your heart strong. Even 30 minutes a day makes a difference!

Heart-Healthy Diet: Focus on whole foods, rich in fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limiting salt, sugar, and alcohol can also lower your risk. And don’t forget to stay hydrated!

Maintain a Healthy Weight: Carrying extra pounds can strain your heart, increasing your risk for Afib. Managing your weight through diet and exercise is key.

Manage Stress: Stress and anxiety can trigger Afib episodes. Find stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or simply enjoying time in nature.

Monitor Your Blood Pressure: High blood pressure is a major risk factor for Afib. Regularly check your BP and work with your healthcare provider to keep it in check.

Sleep well: Poor sleep, often caused by sleep apnea can cause atrial fibrillation. Even small interruptions in an individual’s sleep quality and duration can increase the risk of atrial fibrillation by as much as 18%, and those who experience insomnia are up to 40% more likely to develop Afib.

Follow Your Treatment Plan: If you’ve been diagnosed with Afib, work closely with your doctor to manage your condition. This may include medications, lifestyle changes, or even procedures like an ablation.

If you think you have Afib, see your healthcare provider. For those without a healthcare provider, we offer an Afib self-referral clinic. Visit www.pace-cardiology.com for more information, or see bio.

September is Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month, and we’re here to help you understand your diagnosis.

AFib affects millions but managing it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. From medications to lifestyle changes, there are many ways to lower your risk of stroke and improve heart health.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Arrhythmias are due to electrical signal disturbances of the heart. AFib is the most common type of arrhythmia.

The risk of developing atrial fibrillation increases with age and with other risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure and underlying heart disease. The main complications of atrial fibrillation are stroke and heart failure.

In AFib, the electrical signals are fast, irregular and disorganized, and the heart may not pump as efficiently. Atrial fibrillation can cause your heart to beat very quickly, sometimes more than 150 beats per minute.

Symptoms of AFib may include: dizziness, fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and chest pain (especially in people with underlying heart disease).

If you feel your heart “skipping a beat” often, or you have other AFib symptoms that concern you, see your doctor. For those who don’t have a healthcare provider, we also offer an AFib self referral clinic. Visit www.pace-cardiology.com for more information.

Remember, early management is key.
