| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.9 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:12.0 | Hi guys, I wanted to give you a tip today on the cardiovascular system and talk about |
| 0:24.6 | atrial fib. You should never take calcium supplements if you have atrial fib. In fact, if you |
| 0:32.6 | have any cardiovascular issues, I wouldn't take calcium as a supplement because the calcium |
| 0:37.8 | supplements are associated with the 3.9 times increased risk of getting atrial fib. And |
| 0:45.0 | if you already have atrial fib, you can worsen it by taking calcium. And even one of the medications |
| 0:51.0 | they use for blood pressure is calcium channel blockers. Now, 800 milligrams of calcium supplements |
| 1:00.0 | can also increase cardiovascular events. That's heart attacks by 85%. So, don't take calcium |
| 1:08.6 | if you're at risk for heart problems or if you already have heart problems. If you have atrial |
| 1:13.6 | fib, that's more of a potassium and magnesium deficiency. I'll put a link down below. Now, don't |
| 1:19.4 | worry about the dietary calcium, for example, from cheese because that does not create the same |
| 1:24.2 | effect. And if you're going to take calcium, always take vitamin D3 and K2 to allow the calcium |
| 1:31.4 | to be mobilized to the body so it doesn't deposit in places that it shouldn't. |
