The Root Cause of Cardiac Arrhythmias

An arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, is a problem with the rate or rhythim of your heartbeat. Your heart may beat too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular rhythm. It is normal for your heart rate to speed up during physical activity and to slow down while resting or sleeping.

A cardiac arrhythmia is a common heart problem that can be triggered by many factors. An arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm, which can lead to many different health issues.

Electrolytes affect the cardiovascular system and their balance is crucial for heart function.  Electrolytes control the nerves and the muscles. The heart is a muscle and it has nerves that control it. There is a huge connection between electrolyte imbalances and cardiovascular function.

Electrolytes are magnesium, potassium, calcium and more.. It is electrolyte imbalances that create a problem. Electrolytes work together, and they need to be in the right balance for different functions in the body to work correctly. Certain electrolytes have a direct and indirect effect on each other. Thus, you need them in the right ratio.  For example, if you have too much potassium, you’ll have a deficiency in magnesium. You can also have an arrhythmia when you have too much calcium and too little magnesium etc.  Thus never take electrolytes separately (one at a time for a length of time) as they work in a balance.

When you get your electrolytes primarily from food, you will get them in the correct balance.  Unfortunately, many of our foods are deficient in magnesium because our soils are deficient in magnesium.

If you take an electrolyte powder, it’s crucial to make sure it has the right balance of electrolytes.

Magnesium is incredible for the heart. There is a lot of data on magnesium preventing clots and arrhythmias or palpitations.  High blood pressure is also associated with a magnesium deficiency and a potassium deficiency, as well as high calcium.

Medications can cause deficiencies in the electrolytes.  But, it’s important to be aware that some medications for your heart can throw off the balance of electrolytes in direct and indirect ways.  It must be emphasized the importance of asking your doctor questions that explore underlying causes, rather than simply addressing symptoms.  The proper balance of electrolytes is essential for a healthy cardiovascular system. So, you may want to bring this up with your doctor and ask deeper questions concerning this issue.

Diet for Heart Disease

Three areas of problems:

Arteries
Arrhythmias
Heart Muscle

What leads up to these problems?

Inflammation – some sort of damage, and then the heart accumulates cholesterol as a “bandage” for the damaged arteries.

What causes Inflammation?

High levels insulin and low nutrients. It is the antioxidants that protect the tissue. What is needed in your diet is vegetables especially for Vit C, E & B vitamins

Get rid of refined grains and sugars and carbohydrates – they deplete the B vitamins.

Heart muscle rhythim – what is needed is potassium and magnesium – avocadoes & leafy greens green are needed

When you have Insulin Resistance you don’t absorb potassium & magnesium

If you diet is low in Vitamin E

Vitamin E increases oxygen in the heart muscle. The heart will have to work harder and can cramp up. You need Vitamin B for heart muscle and E protects the lining of the artery.

If you are consuming refined grains you are not getting the nutrients you need. There are also things that deplete the body of needed nutrients. Grains contain nutrients but not when they are refined, the needed vitamins are then destroyed. Grain is also too high in carbs and this will spike in insulin.

You might notice that this diet resembles the Healthy Ketogenic Diet which you can read about.

Are You Drinking Plastic With Your Hot Coffee or Tea?

by Dr. Ben Kim

A few sips here and there likely won't hurt us, but the most inexpensive plastics used to make coffee lids - usually numbers 6 or 7 - are likely to leach their components into hot liquid. Over many years or decades, having a hot coffee every day with a cheap plastic lid translates to cumulative exposure to BPA and other components of plastic that can disrupt endocrine function and contribute to development of obesity, cancer, and other common health issues.

Generally, it's ideal to minimize use of plastic when it comes to all liquids and food, but this is especially prudent when it comes to containers that are in contact with hot liquids or food. With this thought in mind, stand-alone kettles that have plastic components like a water-level chamber are best avoided. Kettles, pans, and pots should be plastic-free.

Thankfully, plastics - typically numbers 2 and 5 - that are used for food items like mustard, yogurt, and juice don't tend to leach their materials into food, especially when they are refrigerated or kept at room temperature. But please be aware that natural acids present in foods like citrus and tomatoes can cause leaching from plastic, so where storage alternatives exist, it's best to choose an inert material like glass.

What about food wrap? The most common brands of food wrap are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), also known as plastic number 3 which contains phthalates that can cause disruption to the endocrine system. When food wrap is in contact with food in the refrigerator, there is little to no risk of leaching of phthalates as long as the food isn't acidic. But wrap should never be microwaved along with food whether the food contains an acidic component or not.

Getting back to coffee, if you can use a suggestion for an alternative to the cups supplied by coffee shops, I can suggest the following: Stainless Steel Tumblers

As with all exogenous toxins, the dangers are in getting steady exposure to seemingly negligible amounts over many years. So it's highly worthwhile to ensure that we don't regularly ingest hot liquids and foods that are in contact with plastic.
