The doctor personally verified: skipping breakfast is really easy to get gallstones, and women are prone to attack
For a period of time, I lost weight, ate one meal a day, and drank milk in the morning and evening. The previous year's physical examination was normal, and the next year, gallbladder stones and kidney stones were found. Fortunately, they were still small.
The gallbladder and bile ducts are hollow organs with sites for long stones. Gallstones and/or bile ducts are collectively referred to as cholelithiasis. Stones are as hard as stones, and repeated stimulation of the gallbladder and bile duct can cause inflammation and biliary obstruction, resulting in symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, and vomiting.
What are gallstones? The main component of gallstones is cholesterol, which can be dissolved in bile. When the liver secretes too much cholesterol, the bile cannot completely dissolve it, and the excess cholesterol is precipitated into solid particles (cholesterol crystals). These tiny crystals build up in the gallbladder, gradually calcify and form gallstones.
The formation of gallstones requires two conditions. One is excessive cholesterol secretion, which has a certain relationship with dietary habits. Long-term consumption of high-fat, high-cholesterol, and high-sugar foods will cause excessive cholesterol in the gallbladder. The second is that the contraction ability of the gallbladder muscle decreases, and the bile emptying is delayed, which is easy to cause cholestasis, which is reflected in some people who are sedentary and do not eat breakfast for a long time.
It is easy to get gallstones by skipping breakfast. Current research has confirmed that there is a close relationship between the occurrence of gallstones and cholestasis. Irregular diet, especially when you don’t eat breakfast, the bile cannot be discharged regularly, and it stays in the gallbladder for too long and absorbs water, which will cause the concentration of bile, which is more likely to form cholestasis, which provides the basis for the formation of gallstones. . In addition, skipping breakfast for a long time increases the concentration of bile, which is also conducive to bacterial reproduction. The composition of bile changes, which easily promotes the formation of gallstones. If you insist on eating breakfast, the gallbladder will shrink after eating, helping part of the bile to be excreted into the intestines for digestion and absorption of food, thereby reducing the viscosity of the bile stored overnight and reducing the risk of cholelithiasis.
The causes of gallstones are complex and are the result of many comprehensive factors. They are more common in "3F" women, namely obese (Fat), prolific (Fertile), and 40-year-old (Forty) women. Why is it more common in obese middle-aged women? Due to obesity, the cholesterol in bile is supersaturated, and it is easy to precipitate and crystallize to form bile. In addition, there may be a nuclear factor in the bile of patients with cholecystolithiasis, which can secrete a large amount of mucous glycoprotein to promote the formation of stones. Estrogen also plays a role in gallstone formation.
People who skip breakfast for a long time will have an increased risk of developing gallstones. It does not mean that skipping breakfast will definitely lead to gallstones. After all, the occurrence of gallstones is not a single factor, but the result of a combination of factors. Skipping breakfast is very common among young people. Here, young people are advised to keep regular eating habits as much as possible. Skipping breakfast for a long time is very harmful. In addition to increasing the incidence of gallstones, it may also cause chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers. ; The immune function will decline due to the inability to obtain sufficient nutrients, and the hypoglycemia will occur due to insufficient energy intake, which will reduce the work efficiency in the morning.
