Gallstones are formed in the gallbladder which contains and collects the bile. Gallstones are of different sizes it could be as small as a grain or as larger as a golf ball. Gallstones are created when there is too much bile concentration in the gallbladder.
As most stones are made up of cholesterol, it is necessary to make amendments in your dietary habits to reduce 'bad fats' and include 'good fats' with a diet high in omega3 and omega6 fatty acids such as fish oils and plant oils.
Drinking at least half your body weight of water daily will aid in elimination of stones.
A balanced diet consisting of plenty of dark leafy green vegetables such as kale, Swiss chard, romaine lettuce and dandelion greens ensure a healthy liver and gallbladder.
