10 Unexpected Signs Of Liver Failure That Everyone Should Know About

Image
Chances are good that liver failure probably isn't something you think about too often. It might seem like liver disease is something that only happens to older people or those who abuse alcohol; not like something that's going to happen to you. Unfortunately, liver disease is more common than you'd think: recent research found that one in eight people in the United Kingdom could have a potentially serious form of liver disease, referred to as "a silent epidemic of fatty liver disease" by hepatologists. The silent form of liver disease can occur when someone is over weight, and is worrying to doctors because symptoms often don't occur until permanent damage has been done, making it harder to treat and cure. This can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and death. The numbers on this mean it's worth knowing the unexpected signs of liver failure, in case it affects you or someone close to you. Your liver plays an incredibly important role in your body....

IS YOUR SNORING, OKAY?

Image
Nearly half of all adults are regular snorers. It is frustrating to bed mates and the source of marital tension. Although it’s common, it is not normal: All snoring implies some degree of turbulent airflow during sleep due to an obstruction in the breathing pathways. Sometimes, this can be caused by a cold or allergies. But other times, it is a signal of a health issue known as Obstructive Sleep Apna (OSA). OSA is a sleep disorder where breathing during sleep is interrupted by an obstruction that jolts a person awake in order to start breathing again. A person’s age, weight, and certain lifestyle habits can help determine whether snoring is related to OSA.

What is the biggest sign that a person’s snoring is caused by OSA? The sound. Snorers with OSA commonly make loud, ragged breathing sounds, along with choking noises and moments of breat...

Do you know as being a night owl bad for your health? Study recently reported that being Night Owl may have a serious Health disease problem and Diabetes Type 2. In review of studies analyzed whether being an early riser or a night owl can influence your health, researchers have uncovered a growing body of evidence indicating an increased risk of ill health in people with an evening preference as they have more erratic eating patterns and consume more unhealthy foods. As we know the human body runs on a 24-hour cycle which is regulated by our internal clock, which is known as a circadian rhythm, or chronotype. This internal clock regulates many physical functions, such as telling you when to eat, sleep and wake. An individual's chronotype leads to people having a natural preference towards waking early or going to bed late. People who go to bed later tend to have unhealthier diets, consuming more alcohol, sugars, caffeinated drinks and fast food than early risers. They co...
