Day 25 Press Up Challenge - Why Do You Get Gallstones?

17/12/2020

0 Comments

 
The gallbladder is an organ that stores bile made in the liver and concentrates the stored bile.

Bile is used in the digestive process to break up and help digest the saturated fat.

The gallbladder has muscular walls that contract and squeezes out the bile when saturated fat is present. 

A low-fat high-carb diet contains little saturated fat. This means that the gallbladder cannot do its job to contract its muscle walls to secrete bile into the digestive system. When the gallbladder is not used, the bile that is stored continues to concentrate and eventually crystalizes to form stones.

Diets that increase the risk of getting gallstones are:
• low-fat diets
• whole grains
• carbs, starch, sugar

Evidence of this can be found here: https://gut.bmj.com/content/54/6/823

Evidence shows that low carb high fat & keto diets do not cause gallstones.

Other risks of getting gallstones include
• Women over 40 with high estrogen levels.
• People with high insulin levels.

If you haven't eaten saturated fat for a long time, it is advisable to introduce it gradually to allow the gallbladder to get back into shape.

Use it or lose it!

    I've been teaching yoga since 2009 and always had an interest in healthy living.

    Having recently been diagnosed with elevated cholesterol, I went in search for ways to lower it. In my search, I came across the Ketogenic diet.
