so recently I had a question from someone that wanted to know the difference between golf stones and kiddie stones were are they the same stones just in different organs actually no so golf stones are really cholesterol stones not because the persons consuming a high cholesterol die is because they don’t have enough bile bi le that thing that helps you dissolve fats it’s a fluid like a detergent that helps break down grease and fats and helps you absorb fat soluble vitamins if you don’t have enough bile you can develop different deposits of cholesterol and that turns into stones okay so the question is how do you prevent cholesterol stones okay number one you want to keep a low carbohydrate diet why because high carbohydrate diets lots of sugar will spike insulin and it will actually lead to cholesterol stones okay number two saturated fats did you realize that saturated fats release bile and going on a low saturated fat diet can increase your risk of gall stones check it out and put the link down below a moderate amount of protein between three and six ounces is perfect not an excessive amount of protein because that could create a problem with a spike of insulin and lastly a large amount of vegetables to keep the liver healthy and to keep the cholesterol going through the gallbladder okay now we’re getting to kidney stones kidney stones are not made out of cholesterol they’re made out of calcium oxalate or uric acid crystals okay now one thing I would recommend to prevent these stones especially if you’re susceptible to them if you’ve had one in the past is consume lemon juice on a regular basis because the citrate in the lemon juice will counter the oxalate stones okay now if you’re doing a ketogenic program in a minute fasting and you’re susceptible getting stones chances are it’s going to be more of a uric acid crystals don’t or gal in which case again lemon juice would help and also potassium citrate would help as well simply because this is more of a pH type situation when your pH becomes a little too acidic you can develop this right here so you want to alkalize it with these not to mention the vast so if you’re doing the exact right program that I’m recommending you shouldn’t have a problem because you’re consuming a lot of vegetables and this is just another reason why the vegetables are kind of like a missing component in other programs that if you add this in there you’re going to prevent a lot of issues alright thanks for watching hey thank you so much for watching keep spreading the word and share this video
