It’s no surprise that by eating balanced meals of natural proteins, local veggies and high quality fats, we’ll reach a healthy, lean body weight and feel great, too. But did you know that eating properly can also keep us on track from our inner most selves, too?
We tend to focus a lot on autoimmune conditions which have, unfortunately, become very common these days, right up there with obesity. But we may overlook some other equally important health concerns that are also impacted significantly by what we put in our bodies. That’s right, I’m referring to our organs!
Gall Bladder
The gall bladder holds bile produced in the liver until it is needed for digesting fatty foods in the duodenum of the small intestine. When the gall bladder becomes diseased, painful gallstones can develop and it can become infected with bacteria causing even more pain and inflammation. Why not be proactive and prevent this disastrous event from happening in the first place?
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease illustrate the factors that affect a person’s risk of gallstones include diet.1 “Research suggests diets high in calories and refined carbohydrates and low in fiber increase the risk of gallstones. Refined carbohydrates are grains processed to remove bran and germ, which contain nutrients and fiber, such as white bread and white rice.”
