The improvement in living standards has led to an increase in the number of patients suffering from gallstones, with women being more prone to menopause, so women should minimize the intake of estrogen products and medications. The saying that gallstones are more prevalent in women during menopause is actually in line with the “5F” method of self-testing gallstones, namely “female”, “fatty” obese, “forty” over 40, and “forty” over 40. “Forty” over 40 years old, “family” family history of gallstones and “fertility” multiple births. The more “F’s” you have, the higher your chance of getting gallstones. If there are 5 “F”, then it is likely to be a gallstone patient. To prevent and control gallstones, we must first know how gallstones are formed. Gallstones are divided into three categories: cholesterol stones, bile pigment stones and mixed stones. Factors that increase the concentration of cholesterol and bile pigments in the bile and slow down the emptying of the gallbladder can cause gallstones. In addition, diabetes and inflammation of the gallbladder and bile ducts are also contributors to the formation of gallstones. So what should I do in my daily life? First of all, we should eat less high-calorie and high-cholesterol food, and fruits with high sugar content should also be limited to avoid causing obesity and hypercholesterolemia. Secondly, the diet should be regular, do not eat breakfast and diet irregularities, the gallbladder can not be emptied in time, easy to make bile concentration and cholesterol deposition, easy to form stones over time. Long-term dieting to lose weight, excessive hunger is also prone to gallstones is the same reason. A balanced diet is also important, do not feel good to eat more, the right amount of meat, eggs, milk and vegetables and fruits are beneficial to the human body. Dietary fiber in vegetables is not conducive to the formation of gallstones, and vegetables contain less sugar than fruits. The B vitamins in grains also have an anti-stone effect, so you can’t skip the staple foods. Excessive vegetarianism is also prone to gallstones. This is because of insufficient protein and lipid intake, the lack of enzymes and phospholipids in the bile that can inhibit stone formation, cholesterol and bile pigments are also easy to deposit to form stones. So it is important to have a balanced diet and not to be partial. To exercise properly, sedentary people with little exercise have weakened gastrointestinal motility, which not only affects the emptying of the gallbladder, but also tends to gain weight and cause elevated blood cholesterol, especially women who have reached menopause and are prone to gain weight, so they should strengthen physical exercise and avoid sitting in front of the TV and computer. Although the cause of gallstone formation is not yet completely clear, it is related to the unreasonable diet structure and the preference for fried and other foods with high cholesterol. The habit of skipping breakfast also makes it easy for bile to be in a supersaturated state, and bile stagnates and concentrates to form stones. Reasonable diet and regular meals are important for the prevention of gallstone disease. Studies have shown that a reasonable diet can reduce the symptoms of gallstone disease in most patients, and can also effectively reduce the incidence of gallstone disease. The following is an introduction to the formation of cholelithiasis and its related dietary factors. 1, love sweets or excessive intake of food with high sugar content. Refined rice and flour will accelerate the accumulation of cholesterol, causing an imbalance in the ratio between cholesterol, bile acids and lecithin in the bile. Excess sugar will in turn be converted into fat, making people fat and increasing the risk of stone formation. 2, long-term high-fat diet, especially long-term consumption of high cholesterol food, such as animal brain, liver, kidney, small intestine, large intestine and other offal and chicken and duck poultry egg yolk, etc., after consumption can lead to cholesterol in the blood and bile elevation, disrupting the ratio between cholesterol, bile salts and lecithin, if accompanied by bile stasis, bile salt or lecithin deposition, it is easy to produce gallstones. In addition, long-term high-fat diet makes people obese, coupled with poor exercise, so that the gallbladder muscle tone decreases, delayed emptying of the gallbladder, bile stasis, will also lead to the formation of gallstones. 3, unreasonable eating habits. Long-term non-breakfast people are prone to gallstone disease because no breakfast, fasting for a long time, bile secretion is reduced, bile composition changes, cholesterol is saturated, easy to deposit in the gallbladder, over time, it can form gallbladder stones. 4, long-term low-fat diet. Some people will say that since a high-fat diet can lead to the formation of gallstones, then I will eat less or no cholesterol food. I do not know, long-term low-fat diet is also harmful. Long-term low-fat diet, vegetarian diet will affect the body’s absorption of nutrients, resulting in a lack of bile and malnutrition, so that some of the body involved in the body’s vital activities of lipid reduction or lack, but also lead to a reduction in bile lecithin, bile acid salts, etc., will be more serious than cholesterol to destroy the normal ratio between cholesterol and bile salts, lecithin, and thus also cause gallstones. 5, drinking too little water. Drinking less water can make the blood sticky, bile secretion is reduced, bile concentration, which will lead to the formation of gallstones over time. 6, long-term alcohol consumption. Long-term alcohol consumption can lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, fatty liver, duodenal papilla edema and other lesions, making bile evacuation obstructed and stasis, which is also one of the causes of gallstone disease. 7.Insanitary diet. Unclean diet can bring roundworm eggs into the digestive tract, and the eggs can retrograde into the bile duct after developing into adult worms, causing bile duct obstruction, poor bile drainage and E. coli, anaerobic bacteria infection, destroying the stability of microcolloid particles in the bile, while the roundworm eggs in the bile are the nucleus of stone crystallization, and gallstones will form over time. Therefore, pay attention to a reasonable diet, three meals regularly, ensure a certain amount of water every day, more intake of vegetables and fruits cereals high fiber low fat food. Limit the intake of animal offal and egg yolk, and drink skim milk. Enhance physical exercise to burn fat, burn calories, promote bile discharge and control weight. Frequent anger, which is not conducive to the relaxation of liver qi will also hurt liver yin, prone to stones, so keep your mood relaxed. Gallstone is not serious can be treated with Chinese medicine, those who have symptoms should take surgery.
