Exercise 'cuts risk of developing painful gallstones'

Being fat is a risk factor for gallstones.
A University of East Anglia study of 25,000 men and women found those who were the most active had a 70% reduced risk of those complaints.

The team, writing in the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, said one reason might be reduced cholesterol levels in the bile.

They said exercise also raised levels of "good" cholesterol and help improves movement through the gut, all of which could contribute to the lowered risk.
Lose the weight and practice preventive medicine the way it should be done.

Nice post! It is seen that Gallstones are common but only 30% of cases have symptoms and complications. Though medications are advised if you get any kind of symptoms.
