Nutrition Review: Drug-free Alternatives for Arrhythmia by Jim English

I am continually searching for ways to transition from using expensive and side-effect laden pharmaceuticals to using natural health promoting supplements and foods. Here is a recent find. Except for Q-10, dosage is not indicated in the article but perhaps a closer examination of the reference articles cited will provide further specificity.
Nutritional Alternatives to Anti-Arrhythmic Drugs


A number of natural agents have been shown to prevent the occurrence of arrhythmias while supporting normal heart rhythm and improving cardiac function. Other compounds have been shown to decrease the incidence and damaging effects of arrhythmias while improving myocardial functions. Some of these benefits include a positive inotropic effect (increased strength of heart contractions), increased myocardium (heart) tissue oxygenation, and scavenging of free radicals. These agents also help prevent cardiotoxicity of beta-blockers and certain psychotropic drugs. Working by different complementary mechanisms these natural compounds produce anti-arrhythmia actions and benefit cardiac functions without the side effects associated with some antiarrhythmic drugs.

Inflammation is a primary contributor to atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, complications of diabetes, premature aging, cognitive decline, Alzheimers, ALS, MS, and a myriad of other diseases--many of which were previously attributed to genetic heritage and natural aging. Controlling inflammation through better nutritional choices and monitoring one's diet can reduce effects from these conditions, prevent their development, and in some cases restore health. Here is a simple guide to a few anti-inflammatory foods. There are many others. See the anti-inflammatory foods calculator on the Nutrition Data website http://www.nutritiondata.com.
