When the heartbeat is irregular or faster than normal we say that we are suffering tachycardia. The heart rate, which increases its frequency up to more than 100 per minute, can be accompanied by other symptoms, such as nausea, nervousness, and excessive sweating.
In this article, we share some tips to learn how to control the tachycardia, both at the precise moment in which we suffer it as with a long-term treatment.
Foods rich in potassium
As in any natural treatments, food is the basis. Long as we have some health problem possibly we have to change some eating habits. In the case of the heart often have a deficiency of a mineral, potassium, so we recommend to increase the consumption of foods that contain it:
- Plantain.
- Green Apple.
- Avocado.
- Coconut.
- Melon.
- Tomato.
- Brown rice.
- Oats.
- Seeds.
- Vegetables.
- Mushrooms.
Infusions for the heart
Medicinal plants with slightly sedative or calming properties will help us to relax. We will choose one of the following:
- Lemon balm or Melissa.
- Valerian.
- Tila.
- Passiflora or passion.
We can prepare a tea, sweeten it with a little stevia or orange blossom honey and go take small SIPs while it is still hot.
These infusions will help us promptly, whenever we feel the heart irregularity. Continuously we take tea of white Hawthorn, a plant excellent for cardiac and circulatory problems, and leaves of olivo, a cardiovascular protector that helps improve arrhythmias, to reduce high blood pressure and to give greater flexibility to the arteries.
Self-massage in chest
Massage has almost immediate relaxing effects, so if make us ourselves as if a person of our confidence does it us.
- Lying face-up, preferably on the couch or on the bed, put his hand on our bare-breasted.
- Press lightly with the Palm of the hand on the skin so that the massage is not superficial, but that we can mobilize a little tissue that are on the ribs.
- We will make circles as if we had a clock in the chest, slowly in the direction of clockwise.
- Repeat for 5 minutes, or until you need it. Avoid getting up suddenly.
It was harmful stimulants
Regular consumption of foods and substances stimulating increases the frequency of the beating of the heart. Stimulants refers to coffee, especially if it is roasted, the cola drinks and other beverages such as alcohol, black tea or tobacco.
If we take these foods because we like, we will try to find similar alternatives that are healthy, coffee grains, the juices, non-alcoholic beer, white tea and green tea, etc.
On the other hand, if we take them because we feel exhausted or lack of vitality, we opt for other foods that do not affect the health of our heart, such as nuts, seeds, milk shakes, Spirulina, maca, the yeast of beer, etc.
That is missing the physical exercise
Physical exercise is the best way of regulating our body when it suffers some kind of imbalance. If we like more relaxing exercise like yoga, Tai Chi or walk, and if you prefer intense exercise, it is important that we make it every week, at least two or three times.
It should not be a sacrifice that causes us displeasure. Why it is essential to choose the activity that we want to do, alone or accompanied.
It is important to note that, according to traditional Chinese medicine, the maximum activity of the heart is from the 11 to 13 hours, by what we recommend no exercise intense at this time of the morning.
Take advantage of the cold water
Water is a natural and healthy element which we should know better to benefit from its excellent and economic properties. The key is to know how to play with his temperature, which causes different effects on our body.
To prevent the tachycardia can apply several times per day, as a prevention, cold water over the face and the eyes for about 10 seconds. If we are at a time of increased heart rate, can get wet arms in cold water, Alternatively, apply a compress fr on the area of the heart.
