    How to Interpret the Results of A Liver Health Blood Test?

    If you place your hand over the area below your bottom rib on the right side of your body your hand will be over the area of your liver. The liver is estimated to have more than five hundred different functions. A good number of vertebrate animals, including human beings, own one, life will definitely fail if the liver stops working.

    Your liver is an extremely important part of your body, a number of the livers uses include:

    • it makes bile. Bile breaks down the fats to be absorbed by the bowel.
    • processes the many medicine that you may take.
    • breaks down toxic chemical substances.
    • regulating iron for your body.
    • it helps to process fat from digested food.
    • holding glycogen (the main fuel used by your body) glycogen is made of sugar.
    • The energy will be taken by the body when it’s necessary.

     

    Since the organ processes several various tasks as you would presume there exist a variety of diseases which can harm this organ, and this is the reason why keeping the liver healthy is essential.

    Signs and symptoms associated with liver disease are normally undefined and that is if you notice them at all, for this reason a lot of men and women that have ranging degrees of damage to the liver remain ignorant of it.

    Quite often, over three quarters of liver tissue needs to be damaged before there is a decline in function.

    By gauging the degree of numerous proteins from your sample of blood liver function tests (LFTs) determine the health of the liver. if your liver is damaged at all these blood tests can show this. If your liver is damaged in any way, a few of the enzymes leak out into your blood and the enzyme level will likely be much higher than normal.

  • Cannabidiol (CBD) – what we know and what we don’t

    Cannabidiol (CBD) – what we know and what we don’t

    Cannabidiol (CBD) has been recently covered in the media, and you may have even seen it as an add-in booster to your post-workout smoothie or morning coffee.

    What exactly is CBD? Why is it suddenly so popular? How is cannabidiol different from marijuana?

    CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients of cannabis (marijuana). While CBD is an essential component of medical
    marijuana, it is derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the marijuana plant. While CBD is a component of marijuana (one of hundreds), by itself it
    does not cause a “high.” According to a report from the World Health Organization, “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence
    potential…. To date, there is no evidence of public health related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.”

    Is cannabidiol legal?

    CBD is readily obtainable in most parts of the United States, though its exact legal status is in flux. All 50 states have laws legalizing CBD with varying degrees of
    restriction, and while the federal government still considers CBD in the same class as marijuana, it doesn’t habitually enforce against it. In December 2015, the FDA
    eased the regulatory requirements to allow researchers to conduct CBD trials. Currently, many people obtain CBD online without a medical cannabis license. The
    government’s position on CBD is confusing, and depends in part on whether the CBD comes from hemp or marijuana. The legality of CBD is expected to change, as
    there is currently bipartisan consensus in Congress to make the hemp crop legal which would, for all intents and purposes, make CBD difficult to prohibit.

    The evidence for cannabidiol health benefits

    CBD has been touted for a wide variety of health issues, but the strongest scientific evidence is for its effectiveness in treating some of the cruelest childhood
    epilepsy syndromes, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which typically don’t respond to antiseizure medications. In numerous studies,
    CBD was able to reduce the number of seizures, and in some cases it was able to stop them altogether. Videos of the effects of CBD on these children and their
    seizures are readily available on the Internet for viewing, and they are quite striking. Recently the FDA approved the first ever cannabis-derived medicine for these
    conditions, Epidiolex, which contains CBD.

    CBD is commonly used to address anxiety, and for patients who suffer through the misery of insomnia, studies suggest that CBD may help with both falling asleep
    and staying asleep.

    CBD may offer an option for treating different types of chronic pain. A study from the European Journal of Pain showed, using an animal model, CBD applied on the
    skin could help lower pain and inflammation due to arthritis. Another study demonstrated the mechanism by which CBD inhibits inflammatory and neuropathic pain, two of the most difficult types of chronic pain to treat. More study in humans is needed in this area to substantiate the claims of CBD proponents about pain control

    Is cannabidiol safe?

    Side effects of CBD include nausea, fatigue and irritability. CBD can increase the level in your blood of the blood thinner coumadin, and it can raise levels of certain
    other medications in your blood by the exact same mechanism that grapefruit juice does. A significant safety concern with CBD is that it is primarily marketed and
    sold as a supplement, not a medication. Currently, the FDA does not regulate the safety and purity of dietary supplements. So you cannot know for sure that the
    product you buy has active ingredients at the dose listed on the label. In addition, the product may contain other (unknown) elements. We also don’t know the most
    effective therapeutic dose of CBD for any particular medical condition.

    The bottom line on cannabidiol

    Some CBD manufacturers have come under government scrutiny for wild, indefensible claims, such that CBD is a cure-all for cancer, which it is not. We need more
    research but CBD may be prove to be an option for managing anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. Without sufficient high-quality evidence in human studies we
    can’t pinpoint effective doses, and because CBD is currently is mostly available as an unregulated supplement, it’s difficult to know exactly what you are getting. If
    you decide to try CBD, talk with your doctor — if for no other reason than to make sure it won’t affect other medications you are taking.
