Did you know that magnesium could reduce your risk of gallstones? Also women are more prone to gallstones that men, and if you are 20 pounds over weight it increases your chances of creating gallstones. While we are on the subject of gallstones I will give you some other interesting facts to prevent gallstones and/or relieve the gallbladder attach.

Foods that are high in magnesium are spinach, broccoli, nuts (especially almonds), beans, whole grains and seafood. Also high fiber foods, dairy products, chocolate, of course the chocolate should be low in sugar grams and at 70% or higher cocoa content.

Thought for the Day: "We are coming to understand health not as the absence of disease, but rather as the process by which individuals maintain their sense of coherence (i.e. sense that life in comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful) and ability to function in the face of changes in themselves and their relationships with their environment." -Aaron Antonovsky- n
