Gallstones are closely related to people's daily diet. Experts remind that long-term vegetarian diets for weight loss in women can easily lead to gallstones, and resuming the consumption of meat is beneficial for the body.
The bile in the human body is mainly produced by the liver, and the gallbladder acts like a reservoir, storing and concentrating bile. When people eat, especially fatty foods, the food enters the stomach and stimulates the gallbladder to contract, causing bile secretion to promote food digestion and absorption. A long-term vegetarian diet, rich in fiber, affects the secretion and concentration of bile, causing it to become stagnant in the gallbladder for extended periods.
Although gallbladder removal has no significant effect on most people, without dietary adjustments, it is still easy to develop intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones again in the following years.
Experts remind that women who are losing weight must pay attention to adjusting their diet structure. It cannot be entirely vegetarian; a mix of meat and vegetables is necessary, with a general ratio of 7:3 or 8:2.
