If you want to be fit, energetic, sleep well and want to lose weight and stay slim, then good production of bile and good functioning of the gallbladder are essential. Bile activates digestion and keeps your intestines clean. Better digestion ensures better processing of everything you eat and ensures that less undigested food remains in your body.
The foods below help with the production of bile and the functioning of the gallbladder.
Rotate with the foods below and make sure you eat a number of these foods every day. If you apply the Morning Cleanse, you will already get a lot of this food every day. If you do not yet know the wonders of the Morning Cleanse, schedule a consultation and I will be happy to explain it to you.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Organic acids from lemons and limes.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Bitter herbs such as parsley, coriander (cilantro), dandelion and milk thistle.

Replace bad fats with healthy fats. The best known way to naturally increase bile production in your body is to eat more foods that contain healthy fats. Some of the best fatty foods to eat are avocados, fatty fish like salmon and various nuts. However, only eat these foods after 12 hours to stimulate detoxification and relieve your liver. Some good nuts to eat for better bile production are mainly cashews and almonds.
Try celery (juice), radishes, and artichokes for a healthy way to increase bile. Some people report that eating these foods (or an extract of them) naturally increases the amount of bile in your body. More studies are needed to confirm the effect of these foods, but preliminary findings show that artichoke extract can temporarily increase bile production after consuming it. However, in practice, I can definitely see this working, greatly reducing intestinal discomfort and promoting healthy bowel movements. Similarly, animal studies show that radishes can increase bile secretion from the gallbladder.
These foods are said to stimulate bile production in your liver, so this may be a good option for you if you have a bile deficiency due to liver problems.
Eat garlic and onions for a tasty way to increase bile. These foods may also help prevent gallstones from forming.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. However, tap water or bottled water is not sufficient, because this water is too filtered and is actually no longer ‘alive’. You can make water come alive again by adding lemon or lime to it, but a teaspoon of honey also works. Half a lemon to half a litre of water or 1 lime to half a litre of water. You can also make water come alive again with other fruit and/or raw honey! Drink 300 to 500ml of lemon water or lime water immediately after getting up. Living water hydrates best.
Of course, if you eat more of all of the above, you will ingest more fluids anyway, because fruit and vegetables contain a lot of fluids. It is therefore not necessary to drink litres of water.
Eating too much fat hinders the hydration of the cell, which is why it is sensible to reduce your fat intake. Start by completely avoiding fat for up to 12 hours, then you will notice that your body will detoxify in the right way with all kinds of positive reactions. You will notice that you will sleep better and wake up fitter. After a while you will feel fitter all day long and your skin will start to glow more.
Good luck and feel free to send a message if you have any questions.
