ARRHYTHMIA, PALPITATIONS (IRREGULAR HEARTBEATS)
The most likely cause is Low Magnesium
Explanation:
A heart arrhythmia is when the heart has an irregular beat or abnormal rhythm. Palpitations could be strong, with rapid beats of the heart, and often occur with exertion, illness, or agitation.
Electrolytes (magnesium, potassium, sodium, and calcium) in the correct balance can improve this condition. However, the most common deficiency is low potassium and low magnesium, but mostly potassium deficiency.
You need magnesium to make potassium work. There are several reasons why potassium may be low:
1. Our bodies require 4,700 mg/day – which is equal to 7-10 cups of vegetables and people rarely consume this much.
2. Adrenal stress depletes potassium.
3. Diuretics deplete potassium.
4. Drinking too much water depletes potassium.
5. Consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrates depletes potassium.
Diet:
Lots of leafy greens in the diet will give you plenty of magnesium and potassium. If you have this condition, it's important not to consume calcium. Magnesium is a calcium regulator and blocker.
Causes:
Low Potassium
Soft Tissue Calcium (excess)
Low Magnesium
