Understanding Fatty Liver: Identifying Causes, Symptoms, and Exploring Detoxification Methods

What is Fatty Liver? Fatty liver is a medical condition defined by accumulation of excess fat in the liver cells. It can be caused by various factors such as obesity, alcohol consumption, diabetes, high cholesterol, and certain medications. When the liver contains more than 5% to 10% fat, it is considered fatty liver disease. Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis. Excess fat can…

My lovely friends, this is a friendly evidence-based post pertaining to the risk reduction of a few well-known health effects of 4n4 and mia. Including: Amenorrhea (loss of regular menstrual period), anaemia, digestive upset, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, general well-being, and osteoporosis. It is quite a long post, but please let me know if there’s any other information you would like me to cover. 💕

🪐 Vitamins and Supplements:

• A-Z Multivitamin. Is beneficial for supplementation. For example, Vitamin C is a vitally important vitamin for the body’s connective tissues, including the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, cellular formation and maturation, resistance to infection, and an increased ability to heal. Additionally, B12 contributes to an adequately functioning nervous system, bone marrow, and intestinal tract. It also acts to increase metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Finally vitamin B2 when combined with Vitamin A promotes good vision and healthy skin, as well as assists in metabolising proteins and fats at a cellular level.

• Calcium and Vitamin D. Seek a preparation which offers 1000mg of calcium and 10-20mcg (400-800 iu) of vitamin D. Vitamin D increases the bodies efficacy during the absorption, retention, and metabolising of calcium. Calcium of course being vital for bone integrity and imperative for the prevention of osteopenia/osteoporosis.

• Iron. An appropriate iron intake will restore the functionality of red blood cells, allowing the proper oxygen transportation around the body, increase focus, energy, athletic performance, and sleep. Having a sufficient iron store will alleviate some commonly experienced symptoms of low iron including fatigue, dizziness, pallor, and shortness of breath. It may also reduce the sensation of cold hands and feet.

• Potassium and Zinc. A lack of zinc impairs the ability to smell and taste. Connecting this impairment to nose blindness. For example, a lack of a sense of smell and taste may impair one’s own ability to detect their own bad breath, BO, and other unpleasant smells that others may be able to detect.

• Omega 3’s - Fish oil, Krill oil, Hemp oil, or Flaxseed oil. Improper dietary intake, or supplementation of omega 3 fatty acids will result in areas of epidermal (skin) dryness, hyperkeratosis, and hyperpigmentation. As well as the formation large scales expose underlying tissue, which are easily infected. The hair becomes sparse, dry, lusterless, and brittle, with a reddish tinge. Furthermore, nails become brittle and dull, tear production reduces, the tears are also significantly less oily leading to increased evaporation contributing to chronically dry, red, and itchy eyes.

If oil supplements are scary for you to intake due to calorie fears (there is only approx 25 calories in 2 average fish oil capsules). There are dietary sources of omega 3 that are relatively low calorie including chia seeds, edamame, and seaweed. However they provide little amounts in comparison to supplementation or traditional dietary sources such as fish, avocado, oils etc.

However this should also be considered when deciding whether to supplement omega 3’s - they stimulate the secretion of leptin, a hormone that decreases appetite and promotes the burning of fat. Through the enabling of conversion of dietary fats into body cells for burning as fuel.

🍄 Dietary Intake

•Bone broth (or vegetable broth if meat is not apart of your diet ☺️) I cannot stress how great bone broth is! Extremely low calorie, but incredibly nutrient-dense. It also acts to decrease the inflammation within the gut that many of us will experience due to our dietary habits. Including conditions such as constipation, gastroparesis, liver disease, bloating, abdominal pain, and stomach ulceration.

Bone broth also contains large amounts of protein, collagen, iron, vitamins A and K, fatty acids, selenium, zinc, and manganese. Protein being the most satiating macronutrient can decrease hunger and associated discomfort. Collagen and the variety of micronutrients within the bone broth contributes to joint and bone health. Bone broth will also contribute to hydration.

•Nutrient-dense foods including blueberries l are among the best sources of anthocyanins (antioxidants) that promote brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Additionally, red tomatoes and red capsicum (Peppers). Tomatoes are the richest source of lycopene, which is a type of carotenoid found in red fruits that has powerful antioxidant effect that may help protect against heart disease and certain types of cancer.

•Fibre is imperative for smooth gastrointestinal function, including regular bowel movements. Fibre is of course typically found in whole fruits and vegetables, beans/lentils, and whole grains. Low calorie fibre sources include: red kidney beans, carrot, and chickpeas. Psyllium, chia seeds are also good sources of fibre. Fibre supplants such as Metamucil may also aid to increase fibre intake. An adequate intake of fibre may reduce the dependence of laxative for bowel movements. Prolonged use of laxatives may create a dependency on them to even have a bowel movement.

🥥 Adequate Hydration

• The best way to ensure adequate hydration is simply by consuming enough water during the day. However, if plain water consumption is difficult, fluid intake will also suffice. Including fluid such as teas, flavoured/enhanced water, diet soft drinks, juices, etc. The optimal fluids to consume in addition to, or instead of simple water to ensure adequate hydration is mineral water, coconut water, or diet electrolyte replacements (Powerade/Gatorade, Pedialyte, Hydralyte). Correct hydration and electrolyte intake will reduce headaches, constipation, and muscle cramps/weakness.

❤️ Reproductive Health

•Amenorrhea is a common experience for those of us with a uterus. However it is imperative to understand that you are more than likely still ovulating despite the lack of a regular menstrual period. Therefore, contraception must still be used. Amenorrhea may be alleviated through dietary supplementation and small changes to the diet to include more micronutrients, but it may not be completely fixed unless there is an increase to body fat percentages.

What is cholesterol, and how does it affect our body?

High Cholesterol

Too many lipids, or fats, are present in the blood when you have high cholesterol. Hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipidemia are other names for it.

For optimal functioning, your body needs a specific amount of lipids. Your body is unable to use all of the lipids in excess. In your arteries, the excess fat starts to build. Fatty deposits, or plaque, are created when they react to other chemicals in your blood. Years may pass during which this plaque doesn't create any issues, but it builds up inside your arteries without your knowledge.

 For this reason, it's risky to have high cholesterol untreated. Your blood includes excess lipids that, unknown to you, contribute to the plaque's growth. If your cholesterol is high, a blood test is the only way to find out.

There are different types of cholesterol:

Low-density lipoprotein: LDL cholesterol is often called ‘bad cholesterol’ because too much of it can clog up your arteries and lead to health problems later on, such as heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. You do need some LDL cholesterol in your blood. It’s when there’s too much that it’s a problem.

High-density lipoprotein: HDL cholesterol is often called ‘good cholesterol’ because it carries cholesterol away from your cells and back to your liver to be broken down. So, it helps prevent disease.

Reasons for cholesterol

High Cholesterol Effects on the Body

High cholesterol causes plaque to build up inside your blood vessels over time. The buildup of plaque is known as atherosclerosis. Individuals who have atherosclerosis are more at risk for a wide range of diseases. This is due to the vital functions that your blood vessels conduct throughout your body. So, there are consequences when an issue arises with one of your blood vessels.

Your blood vessels are going to build plaque if your cholesterol is high. The plaque gets larger the longer you don't get therapy. You suffer from narrowing or blockage of your blood vessels as the plaque grows.

You may have a long time to continue using your blood vessels. However, they will function better than they need to.

Depending on which blood vessels are blocked, high cholesterol increases your chance of getting more illnesses.

If you want an Ayurvedic treatment for high cholesterol, consult with Dr. Sharda Ayurveda for the best treatment for your high cholesterol problem.

Mélovin Health Update: What We Know So Far (11/13/2023)

Okay so normally I'd just reblog the last post I made, but after trawling through countless news/tabloids sites, Reddit, and the cesspool that is Twitter and sorting through the various information available, it seemed more important to make a separate post entirely so people could see.

HERE IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED/WHAT WE KNOW:

-Mel has been diagnosed with a serious illness.

-I cannot *personally* confirm for sure what illness, HOWEVER, most sources are reporting that it is steatohepatitis, a liver condition, sometimes also known as "Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease"

-In essence: this is essentially an inflammation of the liver caused by fat cells building up in said liver, not brought on by drinking alcohol.

-It is considered a metabolic disorder. There are several potential causes, most of which are tied to type 2 diabetes and obesity complications, hormone imbalances such as with the thyroid, but it can also just be bad luck of the genetic draw.

-This is NOT the same condition as viral hepatitis (aka Hepatitis C, etc.) I mention this specifically because some sites are incorrectly reporting this claim and people are already using that misinformation as ammo to be homophobic and claim that he got this condition as a result of his "orientation". Do not do this. Do not be these people.

-Is it terminal or is it incurable? Well, that's the muddied part of this. Even Mel used the term 'terminal' in his Instagram post about this, however many sources seem to point to 'incurable' as a more accurate term. It could be that the words are very similar in Ukrainian and thus the confusion there.

-Note that steatohepatitis *is* incurable, however it *may* or *may not* be terminal/fatal. We don't know how long he's had it, if there was liver damage already present before his being officially diagnosed, and to what extent. The main complications that can lead to death if no treatment is administered are cirrhosis and scarring, even liver cancer, which the only treatment at that point would be a full liver transplant. Without treatment, expectancy is anywhere between 3-5 years in severe cases, or 10-15 in lesser ones. Again, this is not proof of anything yet, this is only the general knowledge I have gained from researching this condition.

-This diagnosis came about as a result of bloodwork when he intended to get some kind of cosmetic procedure.

-(Before anyone asks what cosmetic surgery was he getting - that I don't know, and I don't think anyone else does either. He hasn't said, and cosmetic is a very broad term and can range from anything like traditionally thought-of plastic surgeries to something less intensive like a mole removal or getting his teeth worked on. Personally I think he's too young to be getting cosmetic work done, but that's not important right now.)

-He is seeking/undergoing treatment and currently resting and recovering at home with his family.

-His Instagram is currently private to non-followers, probably to prevent harassment. I have downloaded the video regarding this apparent diagnosis announcement and will try to upload it.

-He is still apparently on the longlist for competing in Vidbir, as announced by Suspilne.

-It is not known if this will impact the release of his newest song or further music going forward.

= o = o = o = o = o = o =

If more develops, I will try to let you all know. Right now, please just try to be supportive, don't harass him or his friends/family for more info (he will no doubt tell us when he is ready), and don't spread wild misinformation. We can only imagine what he must be going through right now. Even if this ends up not being nearly as bad as it sounds, getting a lifelong illness diagnosis is not easy for anyone to handle.

10 Tips To A Healthier Dog

We all want our pups to live a long, happy, healthy life and there are things every dog parent can do to help make that happen. Here are 10 tips to help any dog feel happier and healthier.

1. Spay Or Neuter

Spaying stops a female dog from going into heat and can help prevent breast cancer and pyometra, or infection of the uterus. Neutering a male dog can mellow out aggressive behavior and help prevent testicular cancer, prostate disease, and hernias.

2. Vaccinate

By three months of age, the protective antibodies naturally passed along through a mother’s milk have been used up and your puppy needs to be vaccinated to help protect him or her against many common infectious diseases, including leptospirosis, distemper and parvovirus, as well as a rabies vaccination. Your vet may also recommend vaccinations for kennel cough and Lyme disease. Vaccinations will save your dog’s life.

3. Visit Your Vet

Like you, dogs need regular visits to the doctor to ensure good health. An annual health check gives your vet the chance to nip any illness or health concerns in the bud before they can cause big problems and bills. The vet will ask about your pet’s behavior, eating, and exercise habits, while checking your dog’s vital stats. Check at your local pet store for low-cost pet clinics that can help keep costs down.

4. Declare War On Fleas And Ticks

Fleas can cause health problems beyond itchy skin. They can be the source of allergies, anemia, and tapeworms. Fortunately there are a myriad of flea control products available, including Advantage and Frontline, two of the most popular. Monthly applications should be given based on the weight of your dog. Keep in mind when you are gearing up for your flea wars you must treat all your pets, not just the ones where fleas are obvious.

You especially have to be vigilant in warmer months and with global warming those warmer months seem to last longer and longer, which means you may need to extend those summer treatments.

5. Treat Heartworm By Preventing It

Heartworm is very difficult to treat and can be fatal for your dog so prevention is the key. Giving your dog one dose monthly of a tablet, like Heartguard, can stop heartworm before it starts.

6. Exercise Your Dog Every Day

And not just a quick jaunt around the block. Exercise through walking and playing with your dog will keep your little buddy physically fit, mentally healthy, and reduce the chance of belligerent and destructive behavior as well. Regular exercise also helps your dog maintain a healthy weight and heart, while increasing muscle mass. Your dog’s exercise requirements will be different depending on breed, sex, age, and health.

7. Watch Your Dog’s Weight

Lack of exercise and overfeeding is as much a problem in pets as it is in people. Your dog cannot decide how much exercise he or she needs or what kind of food is best to eat; only you can do that. Arthritis, liver disease, and coronary disease are just a few of the health issues facing an overweight dog. To help your dog lose weight, your vet may recommend a mix of exercise and switching to a low-calorie brand of food, or gradually reducing the amount of regular food you feed your dog. If your pup is overweight talk to your vet to figure out the best course of action.

8. Weekly Health Checks

One of the best ways to prevent health issues is to check up on your dog weekly. First, inspect your dog’s coat and skin for swelling, flakes or scabs. Then look into your dog’s ears and eyes for any signs of redness or discharge. Finally watch for any changes in eating or drinking habits. If anything differs from what’s normal for your dog, consult your vet.

9. Stay Away From Dangerous Foods

The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center compiled a list of foods that could be dangerous, even poisonous for your dog: alcoholic beverages, chocolate, avocado, coffee, fatty foods, macadamia nuts, spoiled or moldy foods, onions and onion powder, grapes and raisins, salt, garlic, yeast dough, and products sweetened with xylitol. Post this list and be sure your family and any caregivers are aware of it.

10. Brush Those Teeth!

Bad breath can be a sign of teeth or gum problems. Particles of food, saliva, and bacteria known as plaque can build up on the gums and teeth and cause infection. If you don’t treat this, infection can result in tooth decay and even move into the bloodstream and affect your pet’s heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, bones, and joints. Inspect teeth and gums weekly, and check with your vet for instructions on regular brushing with canine toothpaste.

how to loose belly fat in 3 days (Step by Step)

Belly fat is not only a cosmetic issue, but also a health risk. Excess belly fat can increase your chances of developing diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. Therefore, losing belly fat is not only good for your appearance, but also for your well-being.

But how can you lose belly fat in a week? Is it even possible? The answer is yes, but it requires some dedication and discipline. You cannot expect to lose all your belly fat in a week, but you can make some noticeable changes by following these tips:

1. Eat a balanced and low-calorie diet

The first and most important step to lose belly fat is to eat a healthy and balanced diet that provides you with all the nutrients you need, but also creates a calorie deficit. A calorie deficit means that you burn more calories than you consume, which forces your body to use its fat stores for energy.

To create a calorie deficit, you need to reduce your calorie intake by about 500 to 1000 calories per day, depending on your current weight, height, age, and activity level. You can use an online calculator to estimate your daily calorie needs and then subtract the desired amount to get your target calorie intake.

However, reducing your calories does not mean starving yourself or skipping meals. You should still eat at least three meals a day, and make sure they are balanced and nutritious. A balanced diet should include:

Protein: Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle mass, which boosts your metabolism and helps you burn more calories. Protein also keeps you full and satisfied, which prevents overeating and cravings. Some good sources of protein are lean meat, fish, eggs, dairy, soy, beans, nuts, and seeds.

Fiber: Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that your body cannot digest, but it helps you regulate your blood sugar, lower your cholesterol, and improve your digestion. Fiber also adds bulk to your food, which makes you feel fuller and eat less. Some good sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts.

Healthy fats: Healthy fats are unsaturated fats that provide you with essential fatty acids and vitamins, and help you absorb other nutrients. Healthy fats also help you balance your hormones, reduce inflammation, and protect your heart. Some good sources of healthy fats are olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish.

Water: Water is vital for your body, as it helps you flush out toxins, hydrate your cells, and regulate your body temperature. Water also helps you control your appetite, as it fills your stomach and prevents dehydration, which can sometimes be mistaken for hunger. You should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, and more if you exercise or live in a hot climate.

On the other hand, you should avoid or limit the following foods, as they are high in calories, sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats, and can contribute to belly fat accumulation:

Processed foods: Processed foods are foods that have been altered from their natural state, and usually contain additives, preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors. Processed foods are often low in nutrients and high in calories, sugar, salt, and trans fats, which can increase your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, and cause inflammation and weight gain. Some examples of processed foods are chips, cookies, cakes, candy, soda, fast food, frozen meals, and canned foods.

Refined carbs: Refined carbs are carbs that have been stripped of their fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and are quickly digested and absorbed by your body. Refined carbs can spike your blood sugar and insulin levels, which can lead to fat storage, especially around your belly. Some examples of refined carbs are white bread, white rice, white pasta, pastries, and sugary cereals.

Alcohol: Alcohol is a liquid that contains ethanol, which is a type of sugar that your body cannot use for energy, but has to metabolize and eliminate. Alcohol can interfere with your liver function, which is responsible for burning fat and detoxifying your body. Alcohol can also increase your appetite, lower your inhibitions, and impair your judgment, which can make you eat more and choose unhealthy foods. Alcohol can also dehydrate you, which can slow down your metabolism and make you retain water.

2. Exercise regularly and intensively

The second step to lose belly fat is to exercise regularly and intensively. Exercise can help you burn calories, build muscle, improve your cardiovascular health, and reduce stress. All of these factors can help you lose belly fat and improve your overall health.

However, not all exercises are equally effective for losing belly fat. You need to choose exercises that target your whole body, and especially your core muscles, which are the muscles that support your spine, pelvis, and abdomen. You also need to choose exercises that challenge your body and increase your heart rate, which can boost your metabolism and fat burning.

CLICK HERE MY RECOMMENDATION

Some of the best exercises for losing belly fat are:

High-intensity interval training (HIIT): HIIT is a type of exercise that involves alternating between short bursts of intense activity and brief periods of rest or low-intensity activity. HIIT can help you burn more calories and fat in less time, as it increases your oxygen consumption, metabolic rate, and fat oxidation. HIIT can also improve your insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. You can do HIIT with any type of exercise, such as running, cycling, swimming, jumping rope, or using a treadmill, elliptical, or rowing machine. You can also do HIIT with bodyweight exercises, such as burpees, squats, lunges, push-ups, and mountain climbers. A typical HIIT session lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, and consists of 20 to 30 seconds of high-intensity activity, followed by 10 to 15 seconds of rest or low-intensity activity, repeated for 8 to 12 cycles.

Resistance training: Resistance training is a type of exercise that involves using weights, bands, machines, or your own bodyweight to create resistance against your muscles, which forces them to contract and grow stronger. Resistance training can help you build muscle mass, which increases your metabolism and helps you burn more calories and fat, even at rest. Resistance training can also improve your bone density, posture, balance, and coordination. You can do resistance training with dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, bands, machines, or your own bodyweight. You can also do resistance training with exercises that target your core muscles, such as planks, crunches, leg raises, and twists. A typical resistance training session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, and consists of 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise, for 2 to 4 sets, with 30 to 90 seconds of rest between sets.

Cardiovascular training: Cardiovascular training is a type of exercise that involves moving your large muscle groups in a rhythmic and continuous manner, which increases your heart rate and blood circulation. Cardiovascular training can help you burn calories and fat, improve your heart and lung function, lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and reduce your stress and anxiety. You can do cardiovascular training with any type of exercise that gets your heart pumping, such as walking, jogging, running, cycling, swimming, dancing, or skipping. You can also do cardiovascular training with machines, such as treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, or bikes. A typical cardiovascular training session lasts between 20 to 60 minutes, and consists of a moderate to vigorous intensity level, depending on your fitness level and goals.

You should aim to exercise at least 3 to 5 times a week, and vary your exercises and intensity levels to avoid boredom and plateaus. You should also warm up before and cool down after each session, to prevent injuries and soreness. You should also listen to your body and rest when needed, to allow your muscles to recover and grow.

3. Manage your stress and sleep well

The third step to lose belly fat is to manage your stress and sleep well. Stress and sleep are two factors that can affect your hormones, appetite, and metabolism, and influence your belly fat levels.

Stress is a natural response to challenging or threatening situations, which activates your sympathetic nervous system and releases hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones can help you cope with stress in the short term, but if they remain elevated for a long time, they can have negative effects on your health and weight. Chronic stress can increase your appetite, especially for sugary and fatty foods, which can lead to overeating and weight gain. Chronic stress can also impair your digestion, immune system, and mood, and increase your risk of various diseases.

Sleep is a vital process that allows your body and mind to rest, repair, and rejuvenate. Sleep can affect your hormones, appetite, and metabolism, and influence your belly fat levels. Lack of sleep can disrupt your circadian rhythm, which is your natural body clock that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. This can affect your hormones, such as melatonin, leptin, and ghrelin, which control your

sleep quality and quantity, which can affect your appetite and metabolism. Lack of sleep can increase your hunger, especially for high-calorie foods, which can lead to overeating and weight gain. Lack of sleep can also lower your energy, motivation, and mood, and impair your cognitive function and immune system.

Therefore, to lose belly fat, you need to manage your stress and sleep well. Here are some tips to do so:

Practice relaxation techniques: Relaxation techniques are methods that can help you calm your mind and body, and reduce your stress levels. Some examples of relaxation techniques are deep breathing, meditation, yoga, tai chi, massage, aromatherapy, and music therapy. You can practice relaxation techniques whenever you feel stressed, or as a part of your daily routine, to prevent stress from building up.

Seek social support: Social support is the help and comfort that you receive from your family, friends, and other people who care about you. Social support can help you cope with stress, as it can provide you with emotional, practical, and informational assistance, and a sense of belonging and acceptance. You can seek social support by talking to someone you trust, joining a support group, volunteering, or engaging in hobbies and activities that you enjoy with others.

Avoid or limit caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol: Caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol are substances that can stimulate your nervous system and increase your stress levels. They can also interfere with your sleep quality and quantity, as they can keep you awake, disrupt your sleep cycle, and cause you to wake up frequently. You should avoid or limit your intake of caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, especially in the evening, to reduce your stress and improve your sleep.

Stick to a regular sleep schedule: A regular sleep schedule is a pattern of going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, which can help you regulate your circadian rhythm and optimize your sleep quality and quantity. A regular sleep schedule can also help you avoid jet lag, daylight saving time, and other factors that can disrupt your sleep. You should aim to get at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night, and avoid napping during the day, to maintain a consistent sleep schedule.

Create a comfortable and relaxing sleep environment: A comfortable and relaxing sleep environment is a space that is conducive to sleep, which can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. A comfortable and relaxing sleep environment should be dark, quiet, cool, and clean, and free of any distractions, such as noise, light, temperature, and clutter. You can create a comfortable and relaxing sleep environment by using curtains, blinds, shades, or masks to block out light, earplugs, fans, or white noise machines to mask noise, air conditioners, heaters, or fans to adjust temperature, and bedding, pillows, and mattresses that suit your preferences and needs. You can also create a relaxing sleep environment by avoiding or removing any electronics, such as TVs, computers, phones, or clocks, from your bedroom, as they can emit blue light, which can suppress your melatonin production and keep you awake.

4. Try some natural remedies and supplements

The fourth step to lose belly fat is to try some natural remedies and supplements that can support your diet, exercise, stress, and sleep efforts. Natural remedies and supplements are substances that are derived from plants, animals, minerals, or other sources, and are used to treat or prevent various health conditions. Natural remedies and supplements can help you lose belly fat by enhancing your metabolism, reducing your appetite, increasing your fat burning, and improving your digestion and detoxification. However, you should always consult your doctor before using any natural remedies or supplements, as they may have side effects, interactions, or contraindications with your medications, allergies, or medical conditions.

Some of the natural remedies and supplements that can help you lose belly fat are:

Green tea: Green tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which are steamed, rolled, and dried, and contain high amounts of antioxidants, such as catechins and flavonoids. Green tea can help you lose belly fat by boosting your metabolism, increasing your fat oxidation, and reducing your fat absorption. Green tea can also lower your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, and improve your mood and cognitive function. You can drink green tea 2 to 3 times a day, preferably before or after meals, and avoid adding sugar, milk, or cream, to maximize its benefits.

Apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar that is made from fermented apple juice, and contains acetic acid, which is the main active ingredient. Apple cider vinegar can help you lose belly fat by suppressing your appetite, lowering your blood sugar and insulin levels, and increasing your fat burning. Apple cider vinegar can also improve your digestion, balance your pH levels, and fight infections and inflammation. You can take apple cider vinegar 1 to 2 times a day, preferably before meals, and dilute it with water, honey, or lemon juice, to reduce its acidity and improve its taste.

Garcinia cambogia: Garcinia cambogia is a type of tropical fruit that is native to Southeast Asia and India, and contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is the main active ingredient. Garcinia cambogia can help you lose belly fat by inhibiting an enzyme called citrate lyase, which converts excess carbohydrates into fat, and by increasing your serotonin levels, which can reduce your stress and appetite. Garcinia cambogia can also lower your blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and improve your mood and energy. You can take garcinia cambogia as a supplement, in the form of capsules, tablets, or powders, and follow the dosage and instructions on the label, or as advised by your doctor.

Probiotics: Probiotics are live microorganisms that are beneficial for your gut health, and can be found in fermented foods, such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kombucha, or in supplements, in the form of capsules, tablets, or powders. Probiotics can help you lose belly fat by improving your digestion, enhancing your immune system, and modulating your hormones, such as leptin and ghrelin, which control your appetite and metabolism. Probiotics can also reduce your inflammation, bloating, and gas, and prevent or treat various digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diarrhea, and ulcerative colitis. You can take probiotics daily, preferably with or before meals, and choose a product that contains multiple strains and a high number of colony-forming units (CFUs), which indicate the potency and quality of the probiotics.

Everyone is being so kind and supportive on my blazed post to find my Prince Sidon figure!

This makes me so happy! So many people are trying to help me, a complete stranger, and wishing me good luck. People are giving me so many compliments and good messages about how Im using blaze, how I approach the proper compensation for artistic work, and how I view supporting tumblr.

I have really been struggling lately. I'm a medical marvek of multiple illnesses, both mental and physical. I've had a really hard year and I'm currently on medical leave working closely with psychiatric services to get my debilitating bipolar disorder under control. I am at a place where medication isn't helping me, and I've been relying strongly on family and friends.

I've never had a bipolar episode so intense, so prolonged, and so debilitating. But that is just the most forefront of my problems right now. I've been struggling to take care of NAFLD, Or non alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is very common in my family and often tied with developing diabetes. I need to change my whole lifestyle permanently to prevent further issues. If any of you have ever tried to quit an addicting processed American diet to a fresh minimally processed-low fat-low sugar-low cholesterol-No red meat-Whole wheat diet, then you know how hard it is. Not just the physical cravings for junk food that are so bad they nearly consume ones thoughts, but the societal and family pressure to socialize and bond through food, the mockery and unwarranted cruelty for refusing "normal" food, staple foods, or red meat.

Thats not all however! I had to have all my upper teeth removed at a young age due to a combination of a genetic defect, poor dietary upbringing, and medications that damage teeth greatly over time. Medications I'll likely be taking for the rest of my life. It took me a few years, but I saved up enough to get the "cosmetic" surgery to have screws implanted in my jaw that teeth could be affixed to. In the time it took to raise the money, the medication and genetic defect caused the reabsorbtion of my upper jaw to the point I barely have any upper jaw bone left. There isn't enough left to have a good chance with a bone graft, never mind enough to put implants in. This news was devastating to me. My face is caved in now, and I'm only in my mid 20's.

Then there's the normal assorted fun bag for my body. Wait list to remove heavy fat deposites that cause strain on my back and hinder my breathing. Migraines I can only try to sleep through as doing anything else is too painful. Shortness of breath and stamina from a sudden dramatic weight gain related to a new medixation. I need new glasses as I can't read the signs in windows with my current ones. Painful cysts on my scalp that I cant get removed yet. A new and very persistent rash that Ive been taking antibiotics for, for a month, while my doctor struggles to figure out what is causing it. Constant fatigue and executive disfunction to the point someone has to wake me up every day, and I barely eat because the effort is so much.

I have very little mental and physical energy. Life is hard. Kindness from strangers and the prospect of having my unconditionally supportive shark friend is invaluable to me right now. I felt good today, and I am so thankful.

Had a really interesting lecture about this and how obesity isn't really a choice given our current food landscape and how we are wired biologically, or at least not the type of choice people tend to imagine. It's way harder for some people to rid themselves of fat than others, even if it's at the level of it affecting their health and current quality of life. I've asked for a supervision with the lecturer to better understand this topic.

There's also different levels of fat that is able to be stored by every body, and once you reach that capacity that's when you start experiencing symptoms of metabolic syndrome. For example, lipodystrophy prevents people from storing and maintaining healthy subcutaneous fat (often only in certain areas) resulting in their stores being maximised and overloaded more quickly despite not necessarily having large amounts of fat on their bodies. This results in lipotoxicity (fats being stored in areas other than fat tissue, resulting in tissue damage ie fatty liver disease) and insulin insensitivity.

We also talk about metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity, where the first is associated with hyperplasia of the fat tissue, and the second involves hypertrophy of fat cells and inflammation.

You know I wish fatphobia was less pervasive. Even among people who consider themself as progressive, it's rampant. So quick reminder. No it's actually not easy to stop being fat, and it sucks that we are treated differently for something we really can't control. Shaming a fat person for being fat, and shaming them for not having the "willpower" to become skinny- is bigotry. And if all you talk to fat people about is weight loss and dieting- congratulations! You're being a dick! Stop.

Early Signs of Liver Damage: Rehabilitation and Palliative Care

The liver is one of the most vital organs in the human body, responsible for detoxifying harmful substances, producing essential proteins, and aiding digestion. Despite its resilience, the liver is vulnerable to various diseases, including fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. The most concerning aspect of liver damage is that it often progresses silently, showing few or no symptoms in its early stages. By the time noticeable signs appear, significant damage may have already occurred. Recognizing the early warning signs can help prevent severe complications and ensure timely medical intervention.

Early Signs of Liver Damage

Fatigue and Weakness: Persistent tiredness and general weakness are common early indicators of liver dysfunction.

Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes occurs due to the liver’s inability to process bilirubin.

Abdominal Pain and Swelling: Discomfort or pain in the upper right abdomen and bloating can signal liver issues.

Nausea or Vomiting: Frequent feelings of nausea or episodes of vomiting may be related to liver problems.

Loss of Appetite: A noticeable decrease in appetite leading to unintended weight loss can be a warning sign.

Dark Urine and Pale Stools: Changes in urine and stool color may indicate bile duct issues stemming from liver dysfunction.

Itchy Skin: Persistent itching without an apparent cause can be linked to liver disease.

Easy Bruising and Bleeding: A damaged liver produces fewer proteins necessary for blood clotting, leading to increased bruising and bleeding.

The Liver’s Remarkable Resilience: Recovery After Years of Alcohol Abuse

The liver is one of the most resilient organs in the human body, capable of enduring significant stress and regenerating itself under the right conditions. However, years of alcohol abuse can take a toll, leading to serious damage. The good news? The liver has an incredible ability to heal, and with the right steps, recovery is possible. Whether the liver can fully bounce back depends on the extent of the damage and the individual’s commitment to sobriety. For those seeking inspiration and guidance, resources like the Sober Sunrise - AA Speaker Podcast offer valuable insights into reclaiming health after years of alcohol abuse.

Understanding the Damage

Alcohol is a toxin, and the liver bears the brunt of processing it. Over time, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to a range of liver conditions, each with varying degrees of severity:

Fatty Liver: This is the earliest stage of alcohol-related liver damage, where fat builds up in the liver. While it often shows no symptoms, it’s usually reversible with abstinence and lifestyle changes.

Alcoholic Hepatitis: This condition involves inflammation and damage to liver cells, leading to symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), fatigue, and abdominal pain. While some cases can be reversed with abstinence, severe cases may require medical intervention.

Cirrhosis: The most advanced stage, cirrhosis involves severe scarring of the liver tissue. This damage is irreversible and can lead to life-threatening complications such as liver failure or cancer. However, stopping alcohol can prevent further progression and improve quality of life.

The Path to Recovery

The liver’s ability to regenerate is nothing short of remarkable. With the right approach, it can begin to heal itself, even after years of abuse. Here’s how to support your liver on its journey to recovery:

Abstinence is Key: The single most important step in liver recovery is complete and sustained abstinence from alcohol. Every drink avoided gives the liver a chance to repair itself.

Time is a Factor: The liver can start healing within weeks of stopping alcohol consumption. However, full recovery can take months or even years, depending on the severity of the damage. Patience and persistence are essential.

Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, combined with regular exercise, can support liver function and overall health. Avoiding processed foods and maintaining a healthy weight are also crucial.

Medical Supervision: In some cases, medical intervention may be necessary. Healthcare providers can offer treatments to manage withdrawal symptoms, address complications, and monitor liver health over time.

Important Considerations

While the liver’s regenerative abilities are impressive, several factors influence the extent of recovery:

Severity of Damage: The stage of liver disease plays a significant role. Fatty liver and mild hepatitis are often reversible, but cirrhosis involves permanent damage. Early intervention is critical.

Individual Factors: Age, overall health, and the presence of other medical conditions (such as hepatitis or diabetes) can impact the liver’s ability to heal.

Relapse Risks: Returning to alcohol use can undo progress and cause further damage. Staying committed to sobriety is vital for long-term recovery.

Seeking Help and Support

If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol abuse, seeking professional help is a crucial first step. Healthcare providers can assess liver damage, recommend treatment options, and provide support for maintaining sobriety. Additionally, resources like the AA Speaker Podcast offer a wealth of information and inspiration for those on the path to recovery. These podcasts feature personal stories, practical advice, and motivational insights from individuals who have successfully overcome alcohol addiction and rebuilt their lives.

The Role of Community and Resources

Recovery is not a journey you have to take alone. Support groups, therapy, and educational resources can make a significant difference. The AA Speaker Podcast, available on platforms like YouTube, is an excellent tool for those looking to quit alcohol and improve their health. These podcasts provide a sense of community, reminding listeners that they are not alone in their struggles and that a healthier, alcohol-free life is within reach.

Final Thoughts

The liver’s resilience is a testament to the body’s incredible capacity for healing. Even after years of alcohol abuse, the liver can begin to repair itself with abstinence and healthy lifestyle changes. While the extent of recovery depends on the severity of the damage, taking proactive steps toward sobriety and self-care can significantly improve liver health and overall well-being.

If you’re on the path to recovery, remember: every day without alcohol is a victory. With the right support, resources, and determination, you can give your liver—and yourself—a second chance at life. Tune into Sober Sunrise - AA Speaker Podcast for inspiration, guidance, and the reminder that a healthier, alcohol-free future is possible. Your liver—and your future self—will thank you.

Alright as someone who studies medicine I'd like to tell you that a cadaver is used to dissect and learn about the human anatomy. As in the structure of the body, the organisation of every organ in the body and what the features of those organs are.

The human anatomy remains same no matter what the weight of the individual who donated their body is.

The purpose of cadavers for first year medical students is just that. To tear every body part out and study what the exact structure and organisation is underneath the skin. It won't change if the person is fat or thin. The only difference however is that a fat person will have a lot of extra fat tissue that would need to be removed and it will also be very oily on dissecting which does indeed hinder the process of studying the structures underneath.

As someone who's seen both thin and fat dissected bodies, i apologise to those whom it offends but it is definitely harder to dissect a body with a very high fat percentage. It can be extremely hard to trace subcutaneous blood vessels and nerves if there is too much fatty tissue, and in the process of removing the fat there's a high chance you may damage the structures lying below. Not to mention, that just removing the fat will take way too long. Even in thin individuals removing the fat can be a tedious and unfortunately smelly process. It may get worse when there's more fatty tissue.

The bodies are stored everyday under formalin and then brought out the next day for the students to dissect and once the class is over it is stored under formalin in lower temperatures again. It may also be tough for the staff working in dissection halls as they need to transport these bodies in and out everyday.

And yes, doctors do have to treat both fat and thin individuals but they DO NOT learn how to treat individuals in their anatomy class they only learn to first identify the whole composition and organisation of the body because that is the initial step. Dissection has nothing to do with learning how to diagnose a patient.

Later, they're exposed to the hospital environment where they see all kinds of patients, no matter what the weight or height or socio economic background.

And after coming to medschool I've realised that doctors can be really blunt in what they say and it may appear rude to someone else but usually they're just speaking about something that's medically important. If a doctor tells you to lose weight it's not because they're fat shaming you it is because you're probably prone to coronary artery disease or fatty liver and they want to prevent the worse case scenario rather than wait for it to happen and then treat it.

The reality of medical school is that once you're exposed to all sorts of sights you just somehow become insensitive to them. And other people may not realise that and start regarding medical professionals as rude, ignorant or mannerless.

The med school that i belong to does accept all sorts of bodies and I've definitely seen extremely obese bodies as well. But from a student's stand point i do agree that dissecting a body with a lesser fat percentage would make the process as well as experience easier.

Hey did you know that you can’t escape fatphobia even after death? The article talks about how these donated bodies are used for first year anatomy students to study the body, and how the 'perfect' body for that should be 170-180 pounds.

What Your Blood Test Can Reveal About Your Health!

Regular blood tests play a vital role in preventive healthcare, providing valuable insights into your overall well-being. They help detect deficiencies, assess organ function, and identify potential health issues at an early stage. At NDC Diagnostic Centre, which has multiple branches across Maharashtra, expert diagnostic services ensure precise and timely results, empowering you to take control of your health.

Why Are Blood Tests Important?

Blood tests help doctors diagnose, monitor, and manage a variety of health conditions. They provide valuable information about the functioning of vital organs, nutrient levels, immune response, and the presence of infections or chronic diseases. Here are some key aspects your blood test can reveal:

1. Blood Sugar Levels

One of the most common blood tests is the Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) and HbA1c test, which helps in detecting diabetes or prediabetes. Elevated blood sugar levels indicate poor glucose metabolism, which, if left unchecked, can lead to complications such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and heart problems.

2. Cholesterol Levels

A Lipid Profile Test measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which are critical indicators of heart health. High LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. On the other hand, high HDL (good cholesterol) levels indicate a healthy heart.

3. Liver Function

The Liver Function Test (LFT) measures enzymes such as ALT and AST, which indicate liver health. Elevated levels could suggest liver damage due to conditions like fatty liver disease, hepatitis, or excessive alcohol consumption. Early detection can help manage liver conditions effectively.

4. Kidney Function

Blood tests such as Serum Creatinine and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) measure how well your kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. Abnormal levels may indicate kidney disease or dysfunction, which can be managed better with early diagnosis.

5. Complete Blood Count (CBC)

A CBC test provides information about red and white blood cells, hemoglobin levels, and platelets. It helps in detecting infections, anemia, clotting disorders, and even signs of leukemia. Low hemoglobin levels indicate anemia, which may lead to fatigue, weakness, and dizziness.

6. Thyroid Function

The Thyroid Function Test (T3, T4, TSH) assesses how well your thyroid gland is functioning. Thyroid imbalances can lead to conditions like hypothyroidism (slow metabolism, weight gain, fatigue) or hyperthyroidism (rapid metabolism, weight loss, nervousness). Early detection helps in timely treatment and management.

Take Control of Your Health Today!

A routine blood test can reveal vital information about your body, helping you take preventive steps for a healthier life. If you haven’t had a blood test recently, consider visiting NDC Diagnostic Centre, with multiple branches across Maharashtra, for a comprehensive health check-up. Early detection can make a significant difference — schedule your test today and take charge of your health!

Fatty Liver - Causes, Symptoms, and Ayurvedic Treatment

Fatty liver disease is becoming a growing concern worldwide, affecting millions due to poor diet, sedentary lifestyles, and stress. While modern medicine offers solutions, Ayurveda provides a holistic, natural approach to healing. If you’re looking for a sustainable way to manage and reverse fatty liver, Ayurveda might have the answers you need.

Let’s explore the causes, symptoms, and Fatty Liver Ayurvedic Treatment in Kerala to understand how you can regain your liver health naturally.

What is Fatty Liver Disease?

A fatty liver occurs when excess fat accumulates in the liver cells. This can be classified into two types:

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) – Caused by poor diet, obesity, and metabolic disorders.

Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) – Resulting from excessive alcohol consumption.

If left untreated, fatty liver can progress to inflammation (steatohepatitis), scarring (fibrosis), and even liver failure. The good news? Ayurveda can help prevent and reverse this condition naturally.

Causes of Fatty Liver According to Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, fatty liver is linked to "Yakrit Roga" (liver disorders) and is primarily due to an imbalance of Pitta and Kapha doshas. Here’s how:

Excessive Consumption of Fatty & Processed Foods – Increases Kapha, leading to fat accumulation.

Sedentary Lifestyle – Slows down metabolism and contributes to toxin buildup.

Poor Digestion (Mandagni) – Weak digestive fire leads to improper fat metabolism.

Excessive Alcohol & Sugar Intake – Aggravates Pitta, causing liver inflammation.

Chronic Stress & Sleep Issues – Weakens the liver’s ability to detoxify the body.

Understanding these causes is the first step toward reversing fatty liver naturally.

Symptoms of Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty liver often progresses silently, showing little to no symptoms in the early stages. However, as the condition worsens, you may experience:

✅ Unexplained Fatigue – Feeling tired despite proper rest. ✅ Indigestion & Bloating – Weak digestion and frequent acidity. ✅ Dull Pain in the Right Upper Abdomen – A sign of liver distress. ✅ Unintentional Weight Gain – Especially around the abdomen. ✅ Skin & Eye Discoloration – Mild yellowing due to liver overload. ✅ Loss of Appetite & Nausea – Disrupted digestion affecting food intake.

If you notice these symptoms, it’s time to take action before it progresses further.

It includes: ✔️ Virechana (Purgation Therapy): Clears excess Pitta and Kapha from the liver. ✔️ Basti (Medicated Enema): Improves metabolism and digestion. ✔️ Udwartanam (Dry Powder Massage): Reduces excess fat deposits.

2. Herbal Remedies for Liver Detox

Ayurveda uses powerful herbs that cleanse and rejuvenate the liver: 🌿 Bhumi Amla – Protects liver cells and aids detox. 🌿 Kutki – Improves bile production and digestion. 🌿 Guduchi (Giloy) – Strengthens immunity and reduces inflammation. 🌿 Triphala – A gentle detoxifying formula for better digestion.

3. Ayurvedic Diet for Fatty Liver

A balanced diet plays a crucial role in healing fatty liver. Ayurveda recommends: ✅ Include:

Fresh vegetables (bitter gourd, leafy greens).

Fruits (pomegranate, papaya).

Whole grains (millets, brown rice).

Herbal teas (ginger, turmeric, cumin).

❌ Avoid:

Processed and fried foods.

Excess sugar and dairy.

Alcohol and carbonated drinks.

4. Lifestyle Changes for Liver Health

Daily Yoga & Pranayama – Enhances metabolism and reduces stress.
