The Connection Between Weight

There are somewhere between 16 and 22 million people walking around America with gallstones. Most do not know they have them. Usually they are painless. They vary in size and are solid masses or clusters that have formed inside the gallbladder. The gallbladder is located beneath the liver and on the right side of the abdomen.

The purpose of the gallbladder is to aid in digestion by producing bile. During the process of digestion the gallbladder releases this bile into the intestine. The bile itself is a combination of water, cholesterol and bile salts, fats, proteins and bilirubin.

Eating certain foods can actually tell us that we are having a gallbladder problem. We may notice that we have indigestion whenever we eat high-fat foods, such as items that are deep-fried or items classified as desserts.

Those who have been eating more food than their body needs and have become obese or overweight for their statures and body proportion are at high risk from forming gallstones.

Research has shown that people who are obese do produce more cholesterol than other do.
