What are the methods for regulating the gallbladder

With the improvement of living standards, people eat better and better, and there are more and more varieties of food, but people's physical fitness is getting worse and worse, and various minor illnesses often occur, such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and poor liver and gallbladder, etc. These are minor problems for some major diseases. As long as we pay attention to our diet and work and rest habits, these minor problems will get better. As the saying goes, poor liver and gallbladder will cause minor illnesses. In fact, poor liver and gallbladder is not a big disease. It will get better as long as we adjust it. There are many reasons for poor liver and gallbladder function, such as eating too much greasy food and lack of exercise.

Here are some specific methods for regulating the gallbladder:

1. Do not eat high-fat and high-cholesterol foods

People with poor gallbladder should stay away from high-fat and high-cholesterol foods in their daily diet, such as animal offal, fried eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, fish roe, cream, unskimmed milk, fried foods, lard, nuts, various fast foods, etc. These foods will promote abnormal secretion of bile, increase the burden on the gallbladder, and aggravate the symptoms of cholecystitis.

2. Minimize social activities outside

People with poor gallbladders should reduce social engagements as much as possible, because frequent social engagements are not only tiring, but can also lead to uncontrollable drinking, high-fat diet, and unclean eating habits, which can overwhelm the gallbladder. The onset of gallstones, gallbladder polyps, and gallbladder inflammation are closely related to the above factors, so it is better to take more precautions. If it is due to the nature of work, you should put your health first and change your job; if it is for socializing or making friends, it is better to attend such occasions less often.

3. Eat breakfast every day

Some people like to stay in bed in the morning, or often stay up late and cannot get up normally in the morning. Such people will sacrifice breakfast. In fact, breakfast not only replenishes energy for the body, but also protects the gallbladder. The gallbladder will be most harmed if we skip breakfast for a long time. Frequent skipping of breakfast can cause bile reflux gastritis.

4. Develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early

It is common for modern people to go to bed late and get up late, or go to bed late and get up early, but this lifestyle will cause irreparable damage to many organs of the body, including our gallbladder. People with poor gallbladder should go to bed early and get up early, and it is best to go to bed before 11 pm, because 11 pm to 1 am is the time when the gallbladder meridian is active in traditional Chinese medicine. Sleeping at this time can maintain our gallbladder.

5. Eat a light diet and avoid spicy foods

People with poor gallbladder should eat a light diet, and mainly cook by steaming and boiling, with less frying, stir-frying, smoking and deep-frying. They can drink soup, porridge and stew regularly, which are easy to digest and good for the gallbladder. You can eat more vegetables and fruits, especially long-fiber vegetables, such as celery, eggplant, spinach, rapeseed, lettuce, apples, pears, bananas, etc. Avoid spicy foods, such as chili peppers, onions, mustard, garlic, etc. Do not drink strong tea, coffee or alcoholic beverages.

6. Eat small and frequent meals at fixed times

For people with poor gallbladder, it is important to eat on time. No matter whether you eat three meals a day or five meals a day, you must make a schedule so that the bile will be secreted and emptied on time, which will reduce the occurrence of bile reflux gastritis. It is important to eat small meals frequently. Eating too much food at one time will increase the burden on the gallbladder. Eating small meals frequently has a good protective effect on the gallbladder.

7. Relax and reduce stress

People with poor gallbladders must pay special attention to keeping a good mood. When they are under great work pressure, they must learn to let go, walk out of the office to breathe some fresh air, take a walk under a tree, listen to music, do some gymnastics, and tap the gallbladder meridian. When you feel angry or are about to get angry, you must learn to divert your attention. Anger can cause great harm to the gallbladder. You can massage the Taichong point or the Yanglingquan point on the gallbladder meridian to help relieve your emotions.

8. Go to the hospital for regular check-ups

People with gallbladder problems should go to the hospital for a gallbladder ultrasound every 3 months to 6 months to detect changes in the condition in time, such as whether the gallbladder stones are enlarging and whether they cause inflammation of the pancreas. Gallbladder polyps should be taken especially seriously. If they are larger than 1 cm, minimally invasive or surgical procedures are required. Cholecystitis should also be observed at all times for gallbladder atrophy and adhesions, and for gallbladder-heart circulation. Any changes require timely diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
