According to Chinese media such as China Daily, a 40-year-old woman living in Fujian Province, China, visited the hospital due to abdominal pain, and as many as 95 gallstones were found in her gallbladder. The medical staff determined that irregular eating habits brought for a long time were the main cause.
The gallbladder is a small sac attached to the concave between the left and right lobes of the liver and is responsible for storing bile produced by the liver.
In addition, bile secreted from the liver is concentrated and stored, and when food enters the duodenum, it secretes bile into the duodenum to help digest and absorb fat.
In fact, she has been working at night for 10 years, enjoying greasy late-night snacks such as meat, and has continued to skip breakfast by sleeping until the next afternoon.
These habits are known to interfere with the normal secretion of bile and cause bile stagnation, which significantly increases the risk of gallstone formation.
The medical team explained that this lifestyle pattern accelerated cholesterol accumulation in the gallbladder and affected the formation of gallstones.
One study found that a high-fat diet and long-term fasting could affect gallstone formation.
Recent statistics show that the number of young people suffering from gallstones due to modern lifestyles is increasing.
Experts pointed out that high-fat diets, sedentary lifestyles, and irregular eating habits are major risk factors.
The medical staff warned that fasting for more than 14 hours can lead to cholesterol accumulation in the gallbladder, and if bile secretion is not smooth, the risk of gallstone formation increases.'
The British National Health Service (NHS) also notes that "calcium is more common in women, over 40 years old, overweight and obese individuals" he said.
Experts stress the importance of maintaining a balanced low-fat diet, practicing regular exercise, and not skipping meals to prevent gallstones. Eating meals at regular intervals can promote bile secretion, lowering the risk of gallstone formation.
Experts emphasize that gallstone symptoms require rapid diagnosis and treatment, and that a healthy lifestyle for prevention is the most effective way to reduce the incidence of gallstones in the long run.
