Do This Everyday To Prevent Gallstones

2) Maintain a healthy diet

Start by having a well-balance diet that is rich in fiber such as fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats and low fat diary products can serve as a presentative foods for the disease.

3) Exercise a bit everyday

When you exercise for a little as 45 minutes a day can reduce your risk of developing gallstones. Endurance exercises for 30 minutes, five times a week can prevent the formation of gallstones. Small steps goes a long way!

4) Drink your coffee today

A study was conducted at John Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland and found out that caffeine would stop in vivo gallbladder absorption and prevent formation of cholesterol gallstones. One cup of coffee a day can decrease the risk of gallstone disease. So keep calm and drink coffee, but remember to take it moderately too!
