Gallbladder symptoms are linked with eating processed foods. While many of us already know that fresh foods are better, it can be difficult to give up processed convenience foods.
Eliminating processed foods from your diet is important for avoiding gallbladder symptoms, and other health concerns, for two main reasons. The first is that processed foods (anything that comes in a box, bag or can) are higher in both sugar and white flour. Both sugar and white flour intake are linked with higher rates of gallstones. Dr. Andrew Weil also agrees that eliminating these foods will help you avoid gallbladder symptoms.
Processed foods also lack the enzymes found in fresh foods. Food enzymes actually aid digestion a great deal.
Dr. Marina Rose, DC helps people with gallbladder symptoms and other challenging, chronic health conditions in and around the city of Los Altos, CA.
Try these strategies to minimize how much processed food you’re eating:
- Eat a salad with every meal
- Add sprouts to your diet for a boost in enzyme content
- Choose nuts and seeds, which contain healthy fats instead of chips and other processed snacks
- Snack on veggies like carrots, celery, and cherry tomatoes
- Make a large salad that will keep in the fridge for a couple of days when you know you’re going to be busy and won’t have time to prepare foods.
