By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) According to a recently-published study in the World Journal of Hepatology, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease – or NAFLD – has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. And the disease is particularly entrenched in the United States, with researchers estimating that up to 35 percent of American adults are affected. While mild forms of NAFLD may feature no symptoms, untreated NAFLD can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, a more serious condition that causes inflammation and scarring. Even more troublingly, researchers predict that complications from liver disease will constitute the leading cause of liver transplants by 2020. However, nonalcoholic

By Dr. Mercola Statistics from the American Heart Disease 2019 update shows cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the leading cause of death, although the rate decreased by 18.6% from 2006 to 2016.1 Despite this reduction, 1.05 million people were expected to have a coronary event in 2019, including 720,000 first time and 335,000 recurrent events. Nearly every 40 seconds someone has a heart attack or a stroke. In 2014-2015 the annual financial burden for CVD was estimated at $351.2 billion. In the survey, the data showed awareness of the symptoms of a heart attack was low.2 This has a negative

By Sara Tipton When we found out that a reaction our daughter was having in late summer was due to dairy consumption, we immediately stopped purchasing anything with any dairy in it whatsoever. But then my quest for a good dairy-free cheese began, and after multiple tries, I think I’ve found one the whole family will love and wanted to share it with you! Dairy can cause many reactions, and as our daughter’s doctor said: “many kids are sensitive, they and their parents just don’t know it.” That means their little bodies are getting inflamed, but never to the point

Human breast milk is more than a meal – it’s also a clock, providing time-of-day information to infants. The composition of breast milk changes across the day, giving energizing morning milk a different cocktail of ingredients than soothing evening milk. Researchers believe this “chrononutrition” may help program infants’ emerging circadian biology, the internal timekeeper that allows babies to distinguish day from night. What happens, though, when babies drink milk that does not come directly from the breast, but is pumped at different times of day and stored in advance of feeding? Scientists have rarely considered the potential effects of “mistimed”

Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana), a perennial shrub native to South America, has a long history of use as a natural sweetener for food, medicines and beverages.1 Whole stevia contains a number of substances, including various stevioside compounds, rebaudiosides and glycoside. Steviol glycosides, including rebaudioside A, rebaudioside D and rebaudioside M (Reb A, Reb D, Reb M respectively), are what provide the sweet taste, with Reb A being the sweetest.2 In its isolated, purified form, Reb A is 250 to 400 times sweeter than sugar. Despite hundreds of years of safe use of stevia, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has labeled

University of Michigan researchers have discovered that oxidative stress experienced early in life increases subsequent stress resistance later in life. Oxidative stress happens when cells produce more oxidants and free radicals than they can deal with. It’s part of the aging process, but can also arise from stressful conditions such as exercise and calorie restriction. Examining a type of roundworm called C. elegans, U-M scientists Ursula Jakob and Daphne Bazopoulou found that worms that produced more oxidants during development lived longer than worms that produced fewer oxidants. Their results are published in the journal Nature. Researchers have long wondered what

By everybodysfit When you eat, food enters the mouth, is swallowed, then travels down the esophagus and into the stomach. Upon arrival, the digestive system uses bacteria, acid, enzymes, and chemicals to help pull nutrients from food to be used for energy. Sometimes as you swallow, you might take in additional air. This can also happen when you have drinks with bubbles such as soda. This air is like a gas in the body and comes back out of the body through the esophagus and then…. BURP.
