Diet can help reduce the risk factors that cause AFib and, in some cases, reduce its symptoms. The AFIB diet or a plant-based diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and unsaturated fats may benefit overall heart health, lower cholesterol, and reduce the risk of a heart attack. Avoid foods that are salty or high in sugar or saturated fat. Low or zero-fat dairy products and leaner meats such as fish and poultry are better choices.
