5 simple diet and lifestyle choices you can make to support your liver and gallbladder<\/h1>\n

Your liver and gallbladder are two organs you probably don\u2019t give much thought to, however they do amazing things for you on a daily basis! Your liver and gallbladder work together as a functional pair, and are otherwise known as the hepatobiliary system.<\/p>\n

Your liver and gallbladder rid your body of toxins, and help to emulsify fats so that you can more easily digest and process them. Like all systems in your body, when they work well, you\u2019re inclined to take your liver and gallbladder for granted. When they\u2019re not working well however, you may experience unpleasant symptoms including brain fog, headaches, under-eye bags and, in more extreme cases, jaundice and gallstones.<\/p>\n

For a more in-depth look at your liver and gallbladder function, be sure to read our detailed guide.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are ways you can take care of your liver and gallbladder every day. Here at The Maas Clinic we believe that prevention is preferable to treatment. Take great care of your liver and gallbladder, and in turn they\u2019ll reward you with clean blood, great detoxing and clear thinking.<\/p>\n

1.<\/h1>\n

Eat regular meals, and yes,
\neven snacks!<\/b><\/p>\n

Your pancreas secrets insulin which stabilises your blood sugar. By eating regularly, insulin is released regularly, meaning that your pancreas can do its job as it is meant to.<\/p>\n

If you want to take good care of your pancreas, consider eating three meals a day, and snacks in between too.<\/p>\n

Just be mindful of what you eat. Try to avoid sugary food and drinks, and excessive carbohydrates as these will trigger your pancreas to secrete excess insulin.<\/p>\n

2.<\/h1>\n

Avoid processed foods, and any food labels you cannot read.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should be able to easily read the labels on any foods you buy. If you can\u2019t, that\u2019s a clear sign that they\u2019re most-likely high in chemicals and E numbers which your liver and gallbladder will struggle to process.<\/p>\n

As a rule of thumb, freshly-prepared non-processed food is better for you, and your hepatobiliary system. In need of recipe inspiration? Check out our seasonal recipes<\/a>, all tried and tested by our team here at The Maas Clinic.<\/p>\n
