Endocrinologist Anton Polyakov: not only special drugs help fight bile stagnation.
Stagnation of bile, which is of great importance for the digestion process, is a dangerous phenomenon due to its consequences. In particular, it is closely associated with adverse changes in the liver, up to the development of hepatitis and cirrhosis. Doctor Polyakov noted that not only medications can be used to eliminate it, and spoke about food that prevents bile stagnation.
In particular, the doctor drew attention to the benefits of artichokes.
“There are products that stimulate the gallbladder. Artichoke is especially distinguished by this property. In many preparations that remove bile, the main active ingredient is artichoke,” Polyakov said in an interview with Vechernyaya Moskva.
The doctor added that emptying the gallbladder is generally effectively stimulated by various bitter products – horseradish, radish, garlic, grapefruit, onion.
In addition, fatty foods are suitable for preventing bile stagnation – for this reason, natural sources of fats, the same oils, should be included in the diet.
“Oils also have a good effect on the functioning of the gallbladder. They start its work and increase the outflow of bile,” the expert said.
The doctor clarified that the benefits of fats in this regard are due to the fact that when they are absorbed, the pancreas secretes specific enzymes that activate the gallbladder, thereby facilitating its emptying.
