Most of us have already been warned by our grandmas to avoid draft. Our grandmas were right on this advice because doctors warn us that the main reasons for sinus inflammation are air conditioners and draft.

Otorhinolaryngology doctors warn that people do not actually know how to properly use air conditioners. People believe that lower temperature better cools the body down, but it is not. The air conditioner should be set to lower the temperature to a level that can be tolerated, but not lowered down and make a huge difference on the temperature outside and inside the room.

Most people who are exposed to drafts and uncontrolled use of air conditioners suffer from acute sinusitis which is characterized by general weakness, runny nose, temporary loss of sense of smell, headaches and inability to breathe through the nose.

Specialists warn that when the outside temperature is about 30 degrees, the optimum air conditioners should be set to 23-24 degrees which would made ​​a difference of just several degrees. If the outside temperature is around 40 degrees, air conditioners must be set a few degrees higher, not lower because you will not only risk for getting acute sinusitis but you risk to shock your body due to sudden change in temperature.

Besides in rooms with air conditioning we all must be careful when it comes to air conditioning in cars as well. Like in room, people want to drastically lower the car temperature too. This drastic temperature change may take a toll on your health, doctors say.

Summer is still in its full swing, so be careful how you cool down yourselves. Besides rampant exposure to air conditioning and drafts, the sinuses can be inflamed by uncontrolled usage of cold drinks, ice cream, cold pools etc. If it still comes to the onset of sinusitis, ask your doctor to prescribe appropriate therapy.

Recognizing the symptoms of liver disease could save your life. Just like with other diseases, if you recognize any signs of a bad liver in the early phase you can completely treat it.

Your liver will fully recover and start to grow new healthy tissues in order to replace any tissues that have previously been damaged. This can happen only if the disease is discovered in its earlier phase and haven’t progressed too far.

An organ and a gland

Your liver is the largest organ (and additionally the most important internal gland) that your body possesses. A standard liver  in a totally healthy person can weigh somewhere between three to three and a half pounds and it plays an important role  in many functions of different body parts.

The functions of the liver

The key functions of the liver are to detoxify your blood and  boost the digestive system by producing  digestive fluid. This fluid helps in breaking down  the fats  you consume into little items, thus  making it easier for your gut to soak up.

The following is a short outline for all the benefits the liver has, and what it makes to improve your health:

• It cleans your blood out of toxins, filtering out any unwanted and harmful substances like pills and alcohol
• It produces bile to aid digestion
• It stores some of your body’s iron and vitamins
• It stores glucose
• It turns glucose into sugar for the body to use when body’s levels of sugar will become depleted
• It processes insulin, hemoglobin and  other hormones
• It converts ammonia into urea; an essential compound for healthy metabolism
• It eliminates old red blood cells, which produce faecal matter  usually in brown color. This is why when your stool is discolored (i.e. when it isn’t in brown color) it can be an sign that there is something wrong with the liver function.

Without a healthy liver, any holistic health life style can become severely compromised, and counting on the character and severity of the condition in which you don’t feel well  may prove fatal. That is why it’s vital to be able to observe and interpret the first symptoms of the disease.

Hepatic disease

Liver disease is  also known as hepatic disease. Once any form of this disease affects up to 3 quarters of your liver tissue,  a considerable increase in liver’s function  may be detected.

The causes of liver disease

Liver disease may be caused in a number of different ways.

• Its cells may be inflamed, as with hepatitis
• The passage of bile might become impeded, as in cholestasis
• A build-up of cholesterol might occur
• The flow of blood to the liver may be damaged
• The tissue of the liver might have  been attacked and damaged by toxins
