Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Thanks Joanne I found the info real informative. I am trying to lose weight. The first 30lbs came off pretty easy but the rest is taking forever. I hope to lose at least another 70lbs by the end of summer. I hope all is well with you and that you are enjoying the summer.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Fitness and Fatty Liver (Ivanhoe Newswire) - Metabolic syndrome has a new partner in crime. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the latest condition stemming from poor physical fitness and may threaten your health in the same dangerous ways. Being physically unfit can put you at risk of developing NAFLD - a disease that causes the accumulation of fat in the liver, leading to high levels of fat in the blood stream, amplifying the risk-factors of obesity. Like alcohol abuse, NAFLD causes liver damage called fibrosis, which can lead to cirrhosis. In tests on rats, researchers found those bred to be physically unfit displayed clear symptoms of NAFLD, including poor fat processing power, high fat retention, weakened cell mitochondria and other abnormalities. By the end of their natural lives, the unfit rats sustained significant damage including fibrosis and unexpected cell death. The fit rats, however, had healthy livers throughout their lives. " Your personal aerobic fitness is not something you will see in the mirror but it is an important predictor of your long-term health, " Thyfault, Ph.D., the study's lead author from the University of Missouri in Columbia, was quoted as saying. " The most important part of physical activity is protecting yourself from diseases that can be fatal or play a significant role in increasing the risk factors for other metabolic diseases. " Researchers say their results suggest NAFLD could potentially be treated or prevented with a suitable exercise program.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 My hepatologist gave a presentation showing fatty liver to be the #1 liver disease. This was about 3-4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 they give us the prednisone we gain weight, I have hypothyroidism and multiple other problems and then they tell me lose weight. ha. I wish it were as easy as they think it is. My weight goes up and down like a yoyo. I am on the losing side now and hope it stays that way for awhile. I need to lose a lot more but every time I start losing weight I find something else wrong with me. It seems like a vicious cycle sometimes. I am just thankful that the medicine is working and my labs are good for right now. the WV hillbilly LOVE IS IN ALL THINGS AND IN ALL THINGS IS LOVE ________________________________ From: Harper <flatcat9@...> Sent: Thu, January 20, 2011 2:12:38 AM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: FATTY LIVER Yes, so far NALFD' has limited remedies -- weight loss, avoiding alcohol, minimizing Prednisone. However, even thin people can have fatty liver. Harper [ ] Re: FATTY LIVER Being # 1 liver disease you would think there is some medication one could take to reduce the problem. I all I hear is from my Gastro/Hepotologist is to loose weight and don't drink (I never did drink!!). Yeah I should loose weight , but........

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi ! We live by Ft. Hood, it was my husband’s last duty station and we just stayed here. If you are ever in the area visiting with your son, I would LOVE to connect with you. I was diagnosed with AIH in Nov 2009 and am now on Azathioprene. My doctors are at & White in Temple, about 20 minutes from Ft. Hood. I founded a local Support Group for people with Autoimmune Diseases and we meet once a month for lunch!
