Dr Sanjay Gupta..Best diet to prevent Afib
Oh ! is that a new video , lovely thank you so much Steve 
Many thanks for posting this, Steve. I'm so glad that Dr Gupta is feeling rejuvenated as his help with AF is so valuable.
Thanks for posting this Steve, very interesting.
.....the conclusion of the video with reference to the virgin olive oil being beneficial to heart health concurs with a programme I saw on BBC 'Trust me I'm a Doctor' with Michael Mosely.

[''Conclusions
In this experiment, it seems that taking 20ml of raw olive oil – either extra virgin or ‘normal’ – can have a positive effect on our hearts.'']
Many thanks, Steve - he looks like a new man!!
The words 'anti inflammatory' cropping up yet again in heart health - I wonder if this info is too late for us . . . or can we turn things around?
Hi Finvola I have read that while we can't change that which has already happened, our diet can prevent the progression of certain conditions.
I am hoping that my lifestyle change will slow the progression of my AF from PAF to persistent.
Me too, doodle. I spent dinner time discussing with my husband how we could each consume 4 tablespoons of virgin olive oil! We drizzle it over green vegs but not in those amounts!
....Finvola I love dunking warm home made bread in a little bowl of olive oil with a dash of balsamic vinegar . Waitrose do a lovely oil called Belazu Early Harvest extra virgin and Belazu do a balsamic vinegar too but not 4 tablespoons of oil, just 2 or I would put too much weight on.
Michael Mosley's research said 20ml olive oil a day (about 2 dessert spoons full) .
The vinegar is rich in antioxidants which are good for the heart too.
Yum - love ciabatta dipped in balsamic - Pukara estates do lovely ones, my favourites being Guava or Pomegranate.
Two dessertspoonfuls of olive oil sound manageable - and you're right, there are the calories to consider too.
what was up with him?
No idea whether anything was 'up with him'. He was away on holiday in Cuba for a while earlier in the summer and then just seemed to take some time out from posting his helpful videos on YouTube. I don't think he posted any explanation. The pressures of working in an NHS hospital are sufficient explanation in themselves I'd have thought.
I've been taking olive oil for a while now - however as I'm also on a low carb diet (no delicious ciabatta boohoo) I make a daily salad including grated carrot which absorbs the oil nicely, with a little fresh lemon juice for extra flavour and vit c.
