Reading Time: 10 minutes How to Understand and Deal with Cirrhosis Cirrhosis. It is the most common liver disease. And one of the most dreaded and feared liver diseases. Cirrhosis is defined as the scarring of the liver tissue and is caused by chronic, long-standing liver disease. Cirrhosis is particularly insidious since it can progress for years, even decades before it is detected. In fact, researchers have concluded that up to 80% of the liver can suffer damage before showing any symptoms. And often, when it is detected, the damage is irreversible. If cirrhosis continues on its path of destruction, the result may be...

Of knowing that you need to get to sleep...and worried that you just can't. Another night of dreading how you'll feel the next day.

Reading Time: 2 minutes PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — For women with thinning bones, Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy is a different but possibly effective option for battling osteoporosis. “The idea of growth hormone helping osteoporosis is not new,” says Dr. Michael Farrell, an internist at Allegheny General Hospital. A study from Sweden indicates that women on growth hormone replacement therapy had denser, thicker bones, and therefore had greater protection from fractures. “This study looked at fracture risk, which is what you really care about,” says Dr. Farrell. The study involved 80 women, ages 50 to 70. For 18 months, they got daily shots of either a...

Reading Time: 2 minutes Recent medical studies have discovered a direct relationship between heart health and sexual health. L-Arginine supplements are found to improve circulation blood flow and are effective in reversing erectile dysfunction. A precursor of nitric oxide (NO) L-Arginine is directly involved in vasodilation and enhancement of blood flow and can improve erectile function in most men. “Sex can improve your cardiovascular health, and studies indicate your chances of heart problems may decrease if you’re having sex regularly...twice a week or more can cut the risk of heart attack by half,” says Michael Krychman, M.D. the Executive Director of the Southern California Center...

Reading Time: 8 minutes Clomiphene (also known as Clomid) was first used in the 1960s for women suffering from abnormal ovulation. Later, it was approved for women who were unable to ovulate. In 1989, clomiphene was discovered to ascertain fertility in females. How? Women who were capable of pregnancy would gain bone mineral density while using the drug. Women who were unable to conceive and bear children did not experience the same increase in bone mineral density. But Clomiphene Does Not Just Help Women Incredibly, clomiphene has proven to be helpful to men that are suffering from low levels of testosterone (“Low-T”). Hyperstimulation is...

Reading Time: 2 minutes Women who start hormone replacement therapy (HRT) soon after menopause do not show higher cancer incidence within 16 years, according to a Danish study published on Tuesday that fuels scientific discord over the treatment's safety. Indeed, women who took HRT in the investigation had a significantly lower risk of dying or developing heart problems, the researchers wrote in a paper published on the medical website bmj.com. The new study was hailed by a menopause awareness group, but a researcher who led a wider probe into HRT said it was worryingly underpowered. HRT has been shrouded in controversy since a Women's...

Reading Time: 4 minutes More Sleep Leads to 'Better Levels of Arousal.' Numerous studies have concluded that one of the reasons for the current insomnia epidemic is a lack of growth hormone. When your growth hormone levels are optimal it is much easier to doze off and stay asleep so you can get the benefits of deep, restorative slumber. In addition to the broad range of health benefits that sleep delivers, there is an added bonus: A roaring libido! Is your libido tired? If so, then a lack of sleep may be the reason why researchers claim. A study has found a direct relationship...

Reading Time: 3 minutes A recent study concluded that moderate alcohol consumption of as little as five drinks weekly is associated with less than ideal sperm quality in young men with no other health issues. The findings also concluded that the more alcohol consumed, the poorer the quality of the man's sperm was. The results have prompted scientists to caution young men about the risks of excessive drinking. Their findings were based on 1,221 Danish men from the age of 18 to 28. The study subjects were first examined in order to determine their fitness level for joining the military, between the years of...

Reading Time: 2 minutes Tattoos are increasingly popular and normalized in America today. Not all that many years ago, tattoos were considered alternative, but today, at least 30% of Americans have one or more tattoos. While tattoos are safe when administered correctly, there are some things that you should be aware of before you go to the Tattoo Shop. Tattoos and Hepatitis One of the biggest risks associated with Tattoos is Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a bloodborne disease that is easily transmitted through poor tattoo practices. Needles must be sterilized carefully and professionally because it only takes a minuscule amount of blood to...

Reading Time: < 1 minute PARIS -- Women who start hormone replacement therapy (HRT) soon after menopause do not show higher cancer incidence within 16 years, according to a Danish study published on Tuesday that fuels scientific discord over the treatment's safety. Indeed, women who took HRT in the investigation had a significantly lower risk of dying or developing heart problems, the researchers wrote in a paper published on the medical website: bmj.com.

Reading Time: 6 minutes Research has proven time and time again that Human Growth Hormone (HGH) strengthens bones and may halt the onset of the dreaded affliction called osteoporosis. In addition to solidifying bones, HGH helps build bones indirectly by giving the older body's a jolt of energy that gets them off the couch and beginning to exercise. When our ancient “hunter-gatherer” ancestors were engaged in a constant, life-or-death struggle for food and shelter, they were continually on the move...and weak bones were one of their least concerns. But that was then...and this is now. Health research scientists, fitness trainers, and physicians all agree...

Reading Time: 3 minutes LONDON (Reuters) -- Taking too much Tylenol during pregnancy could reduce testosterone levels in male babies, according to a new study. This could lead to possible reproductive problems later in life, researchers said. The University of Edinburgh study tested the effect of paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol) on testosterone production in mice that carried grafts of human testicular tissue. These grafts have been shown to mimic how the developing testes grow and function during pregnancy. Scientists gave the mice a typical daily dose of paracetamol over a period of either 24 hours or seven days....

Reading Time: 7 minutes The Importance of Hormonal Balance for Menopause More than one researcher has described the human body’s hormonal balance as “the dance of life” or, more specifically, “the dance of the hormones.” And this is indeed an apt analogy. Your endocrine system is a delicate balance that is interrelated. When one hormone increases or decreases, it often has a spillover effect on one or more other hormones. And This is Especially True Concerning Menopause The dictionary definition of menopause is “the time of cessation of a woman’s reproductive ability.” Female ovaries slow down and eventually cease the production of hormones once...

Reading Time: 2 minutes It's a no-brainer that regular exercise is a critical component of a healthy lifestyle. The benefits of how we exercise are a different matter. Different routines emphasize certain aspects of wellness. For those interested in maximizing longevity, High-Intensity Interval Training shows immense promise, not only for physical health but for neurological health. Interval Training and Neuroplasticity Recent research indicates that High-Intensity Interval Training has a substantial impact on neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to create new neurological connections. This helps both the body and mind stay fit and adaptive. The ideal exercise regimen will combine different forms of exercise, but...

Reading Time: 2 minutes Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been proven in countless research studies to relieve the symptoms of hot flashes and mood swings in menopausal women. But a new study concludes that women who begin HRT during menopause might get some additional protection against heart disease without seeing increases in other serious risks. The study, which was published in the journal BMJ, investigated a theory called the timing hypothesis. In older women, long past menopause, hormone replacement therapy using both estrogen and progesterone was linked to elevated risk for heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, dementia, and breast cancer. What was uncertain is whether...

Reading Time: 2 minutes In a small study of Finnish women who had recently entered menopause, those who stuck to an aerobic exercise program for six months were less likely to report night sweats, mood swings, and irritability than women who didn't exercise. The study's authors say their results suggest exercise could serve as a complement to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for quelling bothersome menopause symptoms. "I would recommend physical activity. I think that among all the options out there that it's probably the best thing for health and also symptoms of aging," said Steriani Elavsky, a professor at Penn State University, who was...
