Gallbladder Patients.
The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that lies on the right side of your abdomen underneath the liver. Its size is 7 to 10 centimeters long and up to 5 centimeters in width.
The gallbladder plays a significant role in digestion by storing bile, a brownish or olive-green fluid produced by the liver to break down and absorb fats from foods that we consume.
As we embark on the new season, especially monsoon, it brings many illnesses with it due to wet and humid weather conditions.
Here's some advice for gallbladder patients on what they should eat and avoid during monsoon season.
According to research, foods that are high in monounsaturated fats, fiber, fish, vegetables high in protein, and vitamin C are good for the gallbladder.
Food list: Pumpkin seeds, olive oil, avocados, almonds, pecans, sesame seeds, hazelnuts, peanut butter.
If you're a gallbladder patient, be sure to avoid foods with highly refined sugars, foods that are high in fructose, and saturated fat, not forgetting fast food.
Food list: Sausage, burger, lamb, bacon, milk, yoghurt, ice cream, butter, pizza, cakes, and any other fried items.
