Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty liver disease occurs when fat builds up in the liver cells and causes injury and inflammation in the liver. Fat build up can sometimes lead to severe liver damage, cirrhosis, a build up of scar tissue that blocks proper blood flow in the liver or even liver failure. Fatty liver disease is like alcoholic liver damage and can occur in people who drink little or no alcohol.
People who have diabetes or pre-diabetes, which is when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet in the diabetic range, are more likely to have fatty liver disease than people without these conditions. Overweight people are more likely to develop diabetes. Doctors do not know why some people who are overweight or diabetic get fatty liver disease and others do not.
Losing weight and being physically active can help control the blood sugar levels in the body. Losing weight can also reduce the build up of fat in the liver and prevent further injury. People with fatty liver disease should avoid drinking alcohol.

Do You Think You Have a Sleep Disorder?

At various points in life, almost everyone suffers from a lack of sleep. People can easily repay these sleep debts by later on getting enough sleep. However, if a person spends enough time in bed and still wakes up tired or feel very sleepy during the day, this may be a sign of a sleep disorder.
One of the best ways to determine a good quality of sleep and the signs of a sleep disorder is keeping a sleep diary. Use the "Sample Sleep Diary" to record the quality and quantity of sleep; any use of medications, alcohol and caffeinated beverages; exercise patterns; and the levels of sleepiness felt during the day. After a week or so, look over this information to see how many hours of sleep or nighttime awak­enings relate to being tired the next day. This information will provide a sense of how much uninterrupted sleep needed in order to avoid daytime sleepiness.
If a sleep diary reveals any of the following, see a doctor:

• Consistently taking more than 30 minutes each night to fall asleep.
• Consistently waking up more than a few times or for long periods of time each night.
• Taking frequent naps.
• Feeling sleepy during the day, especially if falling asleep at inappropriate times during the day.
