FOODS WHICH ARE IMPORTANT FOR GALLBLADDER HEALTH

The gall bladder is a very small organ located behind the liver. It stores the bile created by the liver and releases it whenever needed. This organ is usually neglected until there is a problem and most gallbladder related problems are very painful. Unknowingly you may be harming your gall bladder by eating certain types of food like red meats and saturated fats. On the other hand, eating some types of food can improve your gall bladder health. Some such foods are:
  1. Fiber-rich foods: Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of fiber to maintain a balanced diet. Fiber helps keep the gall bladder healthy and also helps prevent gallstones from developing. An easy way to add more fibre to your diet is to incorporate a salad with your lunch and dinner.
  2. Water: Water not only helps hydrate the body but also helps maintain the water levels required in bile. Ideally, a person should drink 8 glasses of water a day. This should not all be drunk at one time but should be spaced out through the day. Drinking too much water at one time will result in the body expelling it in the form of urine instead of absorbing it.
  3. Foods rich in Pectin: Pectin is a dietary fiber that binds cholesterol in the stomach and helps in its removal from the body. Since cholesterol is one of the major causes for gall stones, eating pectin-rich foods helps reduce the risk of gallstones. Some foods that are rich in pectin include citrus fruits, strawberries and apples.
  4. Flaxseeds: Eating just one tablespoon of flax seeds a day can boost your health in a number of ways. One of the many benefits of including flaxseeds in your diet is a healthy gall bladder. Flax seeds contain mucilaginous fiber or fiber that forms a gel. This type of fiber aids in the liver’s synthesis of bile acids and thus keeps the gall bladder healthy.
  5. Omega 3 Fatty Acids:  Omega three fatty acids play an important role in producing anti-inflammatory compounds. Some rich sources of are olive oil, avocados and flax seeds.
  6. Citrus fruits: Citrus fruits are very rich in  vitamin C. a deficiency of which can cause gall stones. For this reason, eat plenty of citrus fruits and other fruits and vegetables such as capsicum, and broccoli which are rich in Vitamin C.
For any specific problem, please consult your physician.
