Bile formation and bile secretion are important functions of the liver. These processes affect the functioning of the human digestive system.

For effective digestion, it is necessary to reduce the risks of bile thickening and stagnation.

Choleretic nutrition plays an important role in this aspect, says Dr. Irina Starkova .

First of all, I recommend including vegetables and greens in your diet: tomatoes, dill, spinach, celery, carrots, beets, kale, pumpkin, bell peppers, fennel, parsley, spinach, cilantro. Fruits and berries: citrus fruits, rowan, lingonberries, dried apricots, apples, plums, bananas, strawberries, figs.

Various spices have a great influence on the production and outflow of bile.

Drinks with turmeric can improve the condition of an inflamed gallbladder, speed up the flow of bile, and relieve pain.

Cinnamon also has a choleretic effect. It is enough to drink one glass of cinnamon drink daily to feel relief.

Tea with mint produces a choleretic effect, calms and relieves spasms.

Chicory root has a good choleretic effect.

You can add chicory to coffee.

Speaking of coffee, I want to highlight an important point. People who often drink coffee most likely have a bile outflow disorder or a spasm of the gallbladder, and what is even worse, fatty hepatosis. Coffee lovers should pay attention to the condition of the liver.

Many people believe that their love for coffee is based on their dietary habits. In fact, this drink helps to start bile secretion in the morning. But drinking a lot of coffee is not recommended. It is better to replace it with chicory, which also has a choleretic effect, while not having such a depleting effect on the adrenal glands as coffee.

If there are no contraindications, then breakfast with a choleretic effect: egg or scrambled eggs, tomato, greens, sandwich with avocado, from drinks - tea or a cup of coffee or chicory

This breakfast has a healing effect.
