The liver produces up to 1.5 liters of bile per day. One part of it is sent to the intestines to neutralize the acidic gruel that comes from the stomach into the duodenum , emulsifies fats and promotes their absorption. Bile breaks down fats into glycerol and fatty acids. In the cells of the intestinal mucosa, glycerol and fatty acid molecules combine , and chemically reduced fats begin their journey in the blood. Here, fats , which have a large supply of energy , again break down into substances with a simpler structure and with a lower energy value. Thus , several quanta of energy are released , which can be used by cells and tissues. Fat waste products leave the body in the form of water and carbon dioxide. Bile has a stimulating effect on peristalsis , various exogenous and endogenous substances are excreted from the blood with bile , which , accumulating in the blood , would have a harmful effect on the activity of the whole organism; excess cholesterol is also removed.
Natural remedies for gallbladder health
In this case, we are talking about a violation of the passage of bile from the gallbladder into the duodenum.
One reason is the lack of normal bile secretion into the gallbladder.

In this case, there is a delay of bile in the bladder , which overflows , in response to this, pain appears.
If these tricks become chronic , bile stagnates both in the gallbladder and in the intrahepatic ducts. All conditions are created for the development of inflammation , , bile pigments begin to precipitate, various kinds of pebbles are formed , the liver is disrupted.
The main reason for these phenomena are: irregular and improper nutrition and , as a result , the production of aggressive bile , which causes "burns" and spasms of the biliary tract , as well as an unstable state of the nervous system.
