Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is a cause of gallstones
A
working out too much
B
eating candy
C
your bile has too much cholesterol
D
your gallbladder doesn’t empty correctly
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Certain conditions cause your liver to make too much bilirubin, including liver cirrhosis, biliary tract infections and certain blood disorders. The excess bilirubin contributes to gallstone formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Delayed gallbladder emptying occurs in normal asymptomatic persons and is even more common in patients with functional GI disorders. It also appears to be associated with many unrelated diseases such as obesity and diabetes mellitus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water helps the organ empty and keeps bile from building up. This protects against gallstones and other problems. Sipping more also can help you slim down. Research shows people who drink more water eat fewer calories and less sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the gallbladder can’t do its job, bile can’t flow to your small intestine to help with digestion, and instead builds up in your blood. Since bile in your small intestine is important for breaking down fats, you may have some digestive difficulties, especially digesting fatty foods.
