## Key Lifestyle Tips

- **Eat smaller, more frequent meals** — large meals trigger strong gallbladder contractions
- **Don\'t skip meals** — fasting concentrates bile and encourages stone formation
- **Lose weight gradually** — rapid weight loss actually *increases* stone risk
- **Exercise regularly** — even 30-minute walks reduce gallstone risk significantly
- **Avoid late-night eating**

## ⚠️ Important Note

Natural remedies can support gallbladder health and ease mild discomfort, but they **cannot dissolve existing large stones** or replace medical treatment. If you experience:
- Severe right upper abdominal pain
- Fever with chills
- Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)
- Vomiting that won\'t stop

…seek medical attention promptly, as these may indicate complications like cholecystitis or a blocked bile duct.
