ABOUT YOUR GALLBLADDE­R: ARE YOU COLLECTING STONES?

-

Conditions that reduce the flow of bile encourage the formation of crystals in the gall bladder. These grow larger over time but they can go without causing any symptoms for years. When a gallstone is pushed against the opening of the gall bladder though, it can cause terrible discomfort

To avoid gallstones, one needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle which includes balanced diet with more fiber intake with reduced processed carbohydra­tes and unhealthy fat and regular physical exercise to maintain body weight.
