Middle-aged men's parts will become harder and harder

Cholelithiasis is a common disease among middle-aged people, and there are six groups of people who are prone to it.

1. Obese people: Studies have shown that people whose weight exceeds the normal standard by 15% have a five-fold higher incidence of gallstones than normal people. This is because obese people have increased cholesterol in their blood, which in turn increases the cholesterol concentration in their bile, leading to the formation of cholesterol stones.

2. People who skip breakfast for a long time: Medical experts conducted a comparative study on people with cholelithiasis and healthy people of similar age and weight. The results showed that the fasting time of people with cholelithiasis was longer than that of healthy people. The reason is that when fasting, bile secretion decreases and the bile composition also changes. The bile acid content decreases, which causes cholesterol to accumulate in the gallbladder. Over time, cholesterol stones can form.

3. Sweets lovers: A sample survey found that more than 90% of cholelithiasis patients have the habit of eating sweets. Excessive sugar will increase the secretion of insulin, accelerate the accumulation of cholesterol, and convert into fat, causing the body to gain weight, which in turn causes an increase in cholesterol secretion and promotes the occurrence of gallstones.

4. Long-term vegetarians: In normal people, cholesterol, bile salt and lecithin are mixed in a certain ratio and suspended in bile in the form of micro-particles. When this ratio is disrupted, it can cause gallstones. Long-term vegetarians do not take in enough lecithin, and the excessive fiber in vegetarian food hinders the reabsorption of bile acid, which reduces the concentration of bile salt in bile, and the lecithin and bile salt are insufficient, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio and causing gallstones.

5. People infected with Ascaris lumbricoides: If they do not pay attention to dietary hygiene, they may swallow Ascaris eggs into the digestive tract. After becoming adults, Ascaris lumbricoides flow back into the gallbladder to lay eggs or die, which may form gallstone cores. According to surveys, 70% of gallstones are composed of Ascaris remnants and Ascaris eggs as their cores.

6. People who prefer quietness and less activity: Some people sit on the sofa after a meal, eating snacks and watching TV. This affects the digestion and absorption of food and is not conducive to the excretion of bile, and cholesterol is easily deposited and formed into stones.
