protect habitat, what to do with them all our ways. we can make a difference by choosing smarter solutions over stains, said in our ways global ideas, environmental series in global 3000 on d, w, and online. where is the live him either on the right or left side, but it's here at the bottom of the woods for sure. yet one dog i. 2 here, man, put up a bit of a lot of your good, some of this bid for with the send in you can out of the above. okay. that's just

a small survey of our colleagues at d. w on one of the human body is made to organs. here with us the ortho covered it . i think man cup of ease of use of accident who's calling this guys do like it can the body and cabbage motor pulpit in z. matt, are you the be a do who have them on the elf? got any evidence of a few of gobby which ones? and how can you suppose a healthy liver? now, an in good shape, with the brain thinks the heart pumps blood through the body. the stomach and intestines take care of digestion. what exactly does never do

it's a bit like that employee, the one who nobody really knows what they do. but when they're out sick, everything falls apart. ah. the liver acts a bit like a cross between a sewage treatment plants, a factory, and the logistic center. it's connected to the digestive tract to via the portal vein, which means that pretty much all of the nutrients we ingest, but also any harmful substances end up in the liver, at some point hormones and vitamins or recycled intestinal bacteria as well as old blood cells are disposed of when these are broken down, billy reuben is formed, which is responsible for the yellowish color of urine. the liver has quite a few tricks to neutralize harmful substances. it gradually converts alcohol into acetic acid to and finally into water and c o 2. additionally,

the liver produces up to a liter of bio every day, which then flows to the gall bladder and intestines and is critical for digesting fats. bob, but the liver can store minerals, vitamins, and floods and pass them on to the bloodstream as needed. that's how it helps regulate blood sugar levels. ah, after meals it stores excess, sugar as glycogen. and when the body needs energy, the liver sends that like house out on top of all that the liver can regenerate like no other organ as long as the disease tissue is removed and more than half of the liver is still healthy. it can heal completely without leaving any visible scandals. but if the liver has too much to do,

it can quickly become overwhelmed. that's why we should give it a little rest now and then i said that it can do all of its important jobs. when there are quite a few pathogens that affect organs, hepatitis an infectious liver disease can be caused by bacteria or funky. but most often viruses are the culprits. 5 types can cause classical viral, hepatitis, a, b, c, d, or eat. depending on the type, there are various transmission vectors such as blood or seamen, but also contaminated water or rule meat. screening is aimed at early detection. it's just a pinprick and a drop of blood used to test for hepatitis viruses even where there are no obvious symptoms. but it can lead to an early diagnosis that makes all the difference.

do this cleaning is an mildest screening is a milestone mic, because it enables me to discover people who are at risk of dying from a viral liver disease over the long term effect. so on the liver, lung fussy, to fetched album, people like susanna she bought 2 years ago, she was diagnosed with hepatitis c quite by chance during a medical at her workplace. is having me august the like a doctor. so i didn't think for a moment than anything would come of it. i just went along for the check up as normal when i got the call telling me that i had hepatitis c. it was a huge shock. petition he isn't shaken. hepa titus. viruses enter the cells of the liver, harnessing the cells metabolism to reproduce themselves. each infected cell produces a string of new viruses. the illness spreads gradually and for a long time goes unnoticed. o, deliberate light,

liver suffers in silence. occasions, display no symptoms act. they simply don't know that their liver is gradually getting worse, though that's the let it scarring on, and i say slay this lack of symptoms that makes green. i'm so important. he does. he does a screening harbor, susanna she bore, felt no discomfort either. no tiredness, no itching her condition was discovered before screening was introduced. she just had the good fortune that her work medical included a test for hepatitis. otherwise it would have been much later before the disease was discovered, captain house collision doesn't hepatitis. i don't read that in the worst case scenario. hepatitis c can lead to cancer on liver cirrhosis, ian, and that's when it all hit me. and of course, i was worried that something might have happened already and wanted to know how advanced the disease was. so it's shown was plus yet would have if i does this lunch, little an infected liver can continue to function with the virus for quite

a long time. but at some stage, more and more liver cells begin to die. scoring develops, leading to a full blown liver, cirrhosis once it gets to that stage, there's very little the doctors can do. ringback have a hard to mark, visited him. i did my rounds this morning, muncie. i saw 20 patients with a di compensated cirrhosis who are waiting for a transplant husband that soon back where we're having to treat liver cell cancer. ate bond we're, we're trying to deal to somehow with other cirrhosis complications. was a fuzzy but it's frustrating of course because it's basically too late. this is natalie foresee end. but as i need to spare this, that's the natural course of hepatitis without medical intervention. and up until a few years ago, there was no real remedy. it would have been susanna, she boars, fate as well. but nowadays, the disease can be brought to

a halt if it's diagnosed early enough. that's because medication is now available that can actually cure hepatitis c. after 12 weeks of treatment, the virus disappeared from her liver completely. from time to time, her liver is still checked for elasticity of former liver is a symptom of cirrhosis. susanna she bos, test results remain consistently good. he's abandoned that had that he d separate titus. c treatments are genuinely revolutionary, quoted. you start off with a chronic disease, but by the end of these treatments the virus is gone was um, it's not just that it prevents the virus reproducing itself. if the patient is actually free of the infection, hired him in the day and fix, hello erica klein has chronic hepatitis b, which can also lead to so roses and cancer of the liver. she was diagnosed

a long time ago because none of that him for non sufficient virus, i went to my g p for a standard checkup back in 1995. and he noticed that my liver function values were too high, but of it hurts in hot fish. for a long time. now, she has been receiving regular treatment from doctor stephanie han and fetish mom. i want, oh, he can. yeah. but it has been home and we can't cure hepatitis b yet. hopefully that will change in a few years. it's a matter of intensive research. well right now we can only treat it with tablets that need to be taken regularly. legal methods can on vandalism, also apply, but this therapy is also very effective. ok, erica client is responded to with so well that she doesn't need to take any pills at the moment and it's a momentous. the thought i haven't needed to take any tablets since the beginning of january and up to home tells me that i'm also free of the virus from dr.

treatment can rarely be stopped completely, but most patients tolerate the medication well and it provides reliable protection for the liver. the thing is so they, that's why it's so important to find the patient seat. the ones who get treated don't need to worry. that's all foolish than effective screening early diagnosis and highly effective therapies. mean hepatitis no longer needs to spark the dread it once did. hepatitis e pathogens like to slumber and meet in industrialized countries. the virus is usually transmitted by meat that is not fully cooked. the problem is that most people don't notice, they are impacted many people come down with hepatitis e without knowing it. and worst case scenario, this liver disease can lead to death, but there are symptoms. any one who notices them should take action. like michelle

king nodded. his general practitioner sent him straight to obese button hospital. there professor christ of sod scene examined his symptoms more closely. he specializes in intestinal disorders. oh, on the phone it started when i suddenly noticed that i had a massive inch. it was mostly on my hands and feet, but it got worse every day and i couldn't for the life of me explain what it was for kim, if i 1st thought it was psychosomatic since i had no idea where it could have come from in until my family also told me i gone yellow. sounds good. that was just in the nick of time. his liver function values were very bad. it took 5 more days until the lab test provided a firm diagnosis. yeah, i can dot com. yes. yes, mr. clinger came to us view the emergency room with completely yellow skin, and naturally we thought it was actors, which is the medical term for jaundice on the back and also hippa top a thing which is liver disease. by the time we did a biopsy to check to see what the cause was,

and that involves doing lots of laboratory work as well. gemacht fib. in germany, the hepatitis e virus is primarily found in raw pork but also in deer or bore meat and ra sausage and minced pork. the virus can survive for up to 3 months. it gets into the bloodstream via the intestines. if the immune system doesn't stop at the virus gets into the liquor where it can spread, causing inflammation and destroying liver cells. in recent years, the number of new infections reported has increased drastically. not so much because the virus is new, but because doctors are paying more attention and because they are required to report acute pathogens. michelle cling, mom was lucky. his liver recovered completely from hepatitis e. he never wants to catch something like that again. ok, okay. okay. so chris, my and i choose my foods differently now than i used to do when i go shopping. i dont just pick up things randomly. when i buy mean i want to know where it came

from for its income. both hair combed quality is extremely important. now, should have canceled quality in hygiene are crucial with any meat. although pregnant women and those who are immunocompromised should avoid raul meet altogether. and in general, it's better to let any meet cook a little longer than needed. ah, sweet foods, fatty foods, the so called fatty liver is not due to infection but to an unhealthy dies in germany. it's the number one liver disease people of all weights can get is even those who eat a healthy diet. ah, a recent study blames this fact on to genetic mutations that obesity is the most common cause. an uncomfortable fact in the face of increasing obesity rates around the world. but the good news is that if a fatty liver is detected in time,

it can be cured in looking at old photos, reminds buquet, book of difficult times, runs off to cindy, the even valves, if i'm honest, i felt quite depressed at times. no one can feel great in a condition like that, not of your honest with yourself. and it was always terrible for me to see pictures of myself. and here by my bench them all back. then she weighed $130.00 kilos. the fact that she also had a fatty liver seemed like less of an issue at the time. mm hm. could often, i thought i'm fat and so my liver is fat too. and that's that. oh, the class right now. she knows that a fatty liver is a diseased liver. the essence, hyatt. we eat the wrong things. when most of us eat way too many fast carbohydrates and too much of the wrong kind of fat went to leave us and the liver is the organ

that then tries to take care of it all. mommy asked my daughter, but at some point it's too much of fun. come the ultimate manage logs. it's yadda specialized clinic deals with advanced cases where there is already inflammation of the liver or advanced scoring and hardening of the liver and album for how many big box liver is now healthy again is the definite life. i feel so light and healthy, and i'm so grateful that it's something that i can influence myself. big book has come a long way. in 2 years she lost more than 30 kilos. today, she knows what her liver needs to stay healthy. as a result, she also has more energy in the liver dish topics of when your liver and metabolism are working well. the rest works to and then you get your old energy back. that was taken from you as a result of the fatty liver on this pressure. she managed this transformation with the help of her family doctor who she went to specifically for help with losing

weight public that celia schafer is also a dietician today. big box, blood values are all normal as well before it was a very different story. what a lack of exercise was another problem, but she's changed that to the liver is in charge of breaking down toxins in the body and distributing energy. but if we keep feeding our liver more energy than it can use, it begins to store that energy in the form of fat. the result is fatty liver disease, which impacts the entire body work that's been thinking today. big balk, knows that a fatty liver can also lead to diabetes because the liver becomes less responsive to the insulin secreted by the body of water on losing weight also becomes more difficult to stay. the main effect, lima having an insulin is if you have a fatty liver, you develop insulin resistance that, that causes your blood sugar level to rise on the body. can't process that sugar

properly. so it's stored as fat in the liver and then you might star converting glucose to fat more quickly. hedge know, even at the 11th hour, many patients don't notice anything. busy but disease liver isn't painful. those who fail to act could end up at a place like this. busy heiner gucho is a hepatologist at the university medical center sneesby close time in northern germany. he deals with cases where the liver has become inflamed, then deliver from on if the livers in flames because of the increased fat doesn't come to hit kenley to hardening and scoring. and even cirrhosis, what's, which is the final stage of liver disease or, or in some cases only a liver transplant can how it got consequent holds one host. the ammonia for doctor can diagnose a fatty liver with a use of ultrasound outdoor. the good news is that in the early stages of fatty liver disease is reversible, most of the liver can be restored to health december hodge by deborah. with that

level of fat, there's no evidence of any liver hardening yet. it would be enough to lose 5 to 7 percent of your body weight. what do you weigh 90 kilos? ok. so you should set yourself a goal of losing between 5 and 6 kilos. theater. ok name will have to this tennis as amendments. francisport sent big box off the help of a nutrition adviser. oh yeah, law losing weight in a healthy way and removing fat from the liver. both take time vegetables should make up half of every meal that helps to remove fat from the liver. in between meals, the liver needs a break. this it was then felt was interesting. listed in the past, you always use to hear that to lose weight. you should have lots of small meals in mind. if i had done that, my liver would have been in an even worse state that the fish market vaughn could buy the lever. if she finds herself starting to gain weight again, she just cuts out food for a few days and drinks protein shakes with less than

a 1000 calories. she wants to lower. her weight further is having that side. i've made the decision before. i didn't know how to lose weight, and now i do. and she's highly motivated. she knows that her liver does a vital job, but it can quietly start to go, if not care for properly. if you want to take care of your liver, you should avoid drinking alcohol whenever possible. not only because of the next days hangover can health campaign held. people give up alcohol. the slogan in western european countries in recent years has been by, by alcohol. after the putting that comes with december festive season and new year's celebrations, january is will many people now it dry? january the trend of not drinking alcohol and january originally comes from the u.

k. with dr. january ad campaigns like this one. researchers at the university of sussex have been studying whether it's really effective ah, the participants did actually sleep better. generally had more energy. their skin was better, and they lost weight. dimension for i'm puzzled. no fire when people go without alcohol for a couple of weeks. they definitely lose weights because they save the calories under. and we all know when you drink alcohol, you get hungry at some point when who you want to have a snack? he go to the refrigerator again at 10 on that drops off when you're abstinent for a while soon and leave him abstinence from alcohol, even for a brief period, generally leads to a healthier fitter body. for alcohol research or hell mold designs that make sense because alcohol is

a poison. i wound up the conqueror. there are $200.00 diseases that are caused by alcohol, usually shift fast. that in itself is a really fascinating good. but, but on the other hand, what's surprising is that when you stop drinking many organs can regenerate themselves achingly and could, from the 1st sim, alcohol puts demands on the body. in the stomach, it stimulates gastric acids. if that happens, continually it and flames the stomach lining but even after a long drinking career, the stomach is able to recover after only one or 2 months of abstinence even one month of not drinking can help liver specialist hine are good to is a fan of an alcohol free january or the fever he, i could deliver most certainly benefits from a 4 week break, often both because alcohol itself is damaging to the liver. and because the liver also generates the toxic substances that breakdown the alcohol, the litter is responsible for detoxification and energy distribution. if it

continually has to break down alcohol, it will store it in the form of fat, which can become a fatty liver. but a 4 week break can help fever. a lot happens in 4 wins. on the one hand been fewer toxic substances are produced. deliver to sure, can recover when that means they can grow healthier new cells. and without the high caloric content of the alcohol or the liver can lose the fat again to the bottom to ensure the heart benefits as well. because alcohol strains are heart beat, a study of $3000.00 beer drinkers who had a blood alcohol level of 0.8 percent, showed that every 3rd had cardiac arrhythmias. every 4th suffered from tacky, cardia, or rapid heartbeat. but after her recovery period of just half a day, the heart beat returned to normal. god mentioned leon. i definitely recommend that people who suffer from cardiac arrhythmias take a break from alcohol. the end of because particularly impatience with atrial

fibrillation, even just one glass of wine or champagne can trigger an attack. so it makes sense to find out whether you belong to this group of patients. and if so completely give up alcohol done as consequence. gonzo fibers to physician abstinence over time makes sense for every one, according to this addiction specialist. when this is the bug water, it's always good to think about your alcohol consumption, but i'm like that. it's a good idea to not drink for a month, but then maybe noticed that it was easy ago, or maybe that it was harder to thought about. good luck. because drinking is often a habit. many people have no insight into how much or how often is too much. most considered their alcohol consumption to be normal. madison madison, what is i'm for normal is always what you drink within your circle of friends, but whether that amount corresponds to the scientific view that's anyone's guess for women, doctors recommend not drinking more than 12 grams of pure alcohol per day. that

means a small beer or $100.00 milliliters of wine for men, it's double that and a maximum of 5 days per week during less alcohol over time gets even easier after one month. but it's worth accepting the challenge at any time of the year. and finally, we have another sports round for you. oh any. i joins us with a new fitness exercise. high end work up today. we do, caesar kicks. this is a lower exercise. you need a med and lead scope lay on the meds. and here it's really important that you lower back is on the med, take your hands as
