Exercise can help prevent gallstones
Gallstones are crystalline bodies that can can occur anywhere within the biliary tree, including the gallbladder and the common bile duct (thank you, Wikipedia). They can range in size from a tiny pebble to a golf ball, and they are actually more common than you may think.A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology reports that 20 percent of adult women. Fortunately, the study also reports that following a regular endurance exercise program can reduce your risk of developing a stone -- as well as the terribly uncomfortable situation where you must try to pass the stone in your stool. And, if that doesn't work, it may have to be surgically removed. Oh what fun!!
So, if you want to avoid this problem altogether, a good idea would be to get those feet moving. Exercise has been shown in numerous studies to reduce cholesterol, a major factor in the formation of gallstones.
