Gallstones

What are gallstones?
Gallstones are small stones that form in your gallbladder. This is a little pouch that sits under your liver. It stores digestive juices that help your body break down food. Lots of people have gallstones.
In most people, gallstones don't cause any problems. But sometimes, they block the tubes that carry digestive juices. This can give you pain in your abdomen. And it can cause more serious problems, too, like swelling of your gallbladder.Your gallbladder is part of your digestive system.
How your gallbladder works
Your digestive system breaks down the food you eat so your body can use the nutrients.
Your gallbladder's job is to store bile. Bile is one of the digestive juices. Gall is the old name for bile.
Bile is a yellow-green liquid. It is made by your liver. It flows through tubes, also known as ducts, into your bowel. That's where it goes to work, helping to break down food.
Bile has lots of chemicals in it. One chemical is cholesterol. This is a fatty substance. Another chemical is called bile acid. It helps break down fat in the food you eat.
Your liver makes bile all the time. But it only goes into your bowel when you eat or drink. The rest of the time, it is stored in your gallbladder. This is a small, stretchy pouch that sits under your liver. Normally, your gallbladder holds about 6 teaspoons of bile.
When you eat or drink, your gallbladder squeezes bile out into a tube called the cystic duct. The bile flows down this tube into another one. That second tube is called the bile duct. It takes the bile to your bowel.
When your liver makes bile that is not needed right away, the bile flows up your cystic duct and into your gallbladder, for storage.
What happens when you have gallstones
Sometimes, when bile is stored in your gallbladder, it gets very thick. Then it can get crystals in it. Usually, the crystals are made of cholesterol from the bile. They can grow into gallstones
Gallstones can be as small as a grain of sand or as big as a golf ball. And you may have just one big gallstone or hundreds of small ones.
The symptoms and problems gallstones cause depend on where they gets stuck and how long they stay stuck.
Gallstones can hurt a lot when they block tubes. Usually, this isn't serious. But sometimes the blockage does cause serious problems like inflammation (swelling) in your gallbladder.
Women are almost twice as likely as men to have gallstones. This is because the female sex hormone (called estrogen) makes it easier for the stones to form.
Being obese (very overweight) increases your risk of getting gallstones, especially if you are a woman.

Cellulite

Cellulite affects the young as well as the old alike. The general belief is that cellulite affects only people who are obese. But the truth is that even women who are thin are sometimes faced with cellulite. When a person gets cellulite, the skin dimples and becomes bumpy and uneven. They mostly appear on the buttocks, stomach thighs, legs and hands.
When the fat and fluid get deposited under the skin, the skin starts dimpling due to the pressure exerted by the fatty layers resulting in cellulite.

Apple cider vinegar: is a great treatment for removing cellulite. It breaks the fat deposits under the skin and prevents skin dimpling and puckering with constant application. 

Take a quarter cup of massage oil for this purpose and mix three quarter cup of apple cider vinegar along with it. This mixture can be used for massaging the skin laden with cellulite. The application of massage oil along with apple cider vinegar is to help in greater absorption of vinegar into the skin for melting the fat.
