Viral Hepatitis: This is the inflammation and necrosis of the liver caused by a virus or group of viruses. There are other types of hepatitis including hepatotoxic and drugs related hepatitis and alcoholic hepatitis.

Types of Viral Hepatitis There are many types of viral hepatitis Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E and G etc. HEPATITIS B: It is caused by the Hepatitis B virus. A DNA hepadna virus with a partially double-stranded DNA genome.

HEPATITIS C: This is a serious and often-silent liver infection caused by the Hepatitis C virus – a single stranded RNA virus. At least six major genotypes have been identified. Hepatitis B and C viruses are transmitted by contacts with infected blood or blood products. Orchidresortgoa

For example, via contaminated needles (including unsterilized tattoo needles), accidental needle-sticks in healthcare workers, and unprotected sex, sharing nail clippers, razors, or toothbrushes.

 It can also be present in saliva, semen and vaginal secretions and through HbsAg positive mothers to child (maternal-neonatal transmission). Hepatitis B is prevalent in homosexuals and intravenous drug users but most cases result from heterosexual transmission.

The incubation period of hepatitis B is 6 weeks to 6 months (average of 12 – 14 weeks). That of Hepatitis C is between 6-7 weeks and clinical illness is often mild, usually asymptomatic.

Hepatitis C has been called “the silent killer” because the virus often hides in the body for years, escaping detection as it attacks the liver. Since most people don’t have warning signs of hepatitis C (or don’t know how or when they were infected). Almosaferspain

They don’t seek treatment until many years later. By the time hepatitis C symptoms appear or a diagnosis is made, the damage often is well underway.

Blood borne pathogens present in the blood of a person can spread to others if such blood or body fluids enter the body of another through cuts, wounds or broken skin, or via the mucus membrane and of course when injured by infected needles and instruments.

The bacteria and virus can lead to a number of diseases depending upon various factors including the immunity or the presence of some prior infection in the system of the newly infected person.

 Hepatitis B Virus (HBV): HBV can lead to an infection called Hepatitis B which causes inflammation of the liver and can also lead to enlargement and tenderness. This infection is largely transmitted through the blood and in serious cases can cause liver cirrhosis and even cancer. Alin

 The typical symptoms of such an infection include jaundice, stomach pain, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, and conditions resembling those of influenza. The HBV can stay active even in dried blood which is as old as a week, thus house-keeping and laundry people and even those who come in contact with infected clothes, equipment or materials are at risk and must exercise due caution while handling such things.

While there is no cure for HBV, vaccinations administered properly can help in building up immunity especially for healthcare people who come in contact with such patients and materials in their course of work. Yellow

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): Just like HBV, HCV too affects the liver and is one of the most common and chronic kind of blood borne disease. In addition it is also one of the major reasons for liver transplants in America.

The HCV can be passed on by contact with infected blood, Needle stick injuries, and injections. It shares symptoms that are similar to HBV, and in the long run can lead to acute problems and damage to the liver.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): HIV is a kind of blood borne pathogen that infects through contact with the blood or Needle stick injuries. The virus targets the immune system and goes on weakening it over time till a stage where the body finds it extremely difficult to fight diseases.

 HIV can remain in the body for years and can cause Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) at the later or final stages. The symptoms to look out for include weight loss, swelling of the lymph glands, weakness, nausea, fever, diarrhea, sore throat and a kind of white coloring on the tongue.

HIV, unlike the Hepatitis virus is fragile and cannot survive out of the body for extended periods of time. Thus all the staff who administer first aid or who can potentially come in contact with fresh blood or infected materials must be especially careful.

In part 1, I broke down the 3 moving parts of a belief and I promised to share more about how this impacts your experience with fitness, exercise or physical performance.

So, here I am, delivering on that promise. I want to dive into the first moving part I talked about. Where are you right now in your health and fitness?

Or… if your an athlete, where are you in your performance level?              

Are you as fit as you would like to be?

Are you burning the fat that you’re striving to rid yourself of?

Are you gaining strength and muscle mass you’re working out hard for?

Are you upping your game and making leaps in your performance at your sport?

If you answered no to any of these questions (or the ones relevant to you), then you have more than likely reached a plateau. A plateau is often a point of diminishing return like is often experienced in many strength training regimes, which is often resolved with a change in workout, but this is not the type of plateau I’m referring to. Hroutlook

 This is a belief plateau. Whereby what needs to change is what you see to be true and how you feel about your experience, possibilities and yourself. If you’re exercising, working out or training towards a certain goal but you’ve stopped getting progress for a long time, then you may have reached your thermostatic point. The point that you feel comfortable at (but not necessarily satisfied with).

And if you’ve been struggling to make progress for a while, then the one thing holding you back is a belief or two about your ability, potential or worthiness.

If you know what those beliefs are, as I stated in part 1, it’s valuable to know what gives those beliefs their strength. What are the references that make you feel that the belief that’s holding you back is true? These references come in the form of past experiences, memories and lessons you may have been taught. Medhealthinsight

The more of these there are, the stronger the belief. Say you have a belief that says, “I just can’t build muscle because I’m really skinny and I always have been.”

One thing that you will have to do is exposing yourself to healthy and fit people; if you are an athlete then it will be necessary for you to train with athletes of your caliber or even better. If you’ve never been fit all your life, then you’d better visit a park or a health club where people are working out. Badgirlbail

For the sake of your fitness motivation, I want to emphasize that there is no absolute solution to your success. You will have to sit down with at least two books every month, and living out what’s inside the book. Test that knowledge against what you know about the subject matter, and then practice it! While doing this remember to document everything for your future review, and it also acts as a record, for you to clearly see that you were productive.

If you think that you know everything about training your abdominal muscles, legs, arms or any other aspect of your health and fitness, then you are in for a rude shock. Why you wonder!, the reason is you are no longer coachable once you take up such a spirit.

 There are some people out there who cannot be successful with their personal fitness trainers because they constantly challenge their trainers or always suggesting what should be done. At the end of the workout session, the trainer is drained and they lack the necessary fitness inspiration for the next workout session. Fortuneviews

Here is the hard truth: Those of us who refuse to exercise or eat right, are basically saying that they don’t see the point, and unless something really awful happens, such as developing high blood pressure, only then will they start paying attention to exercise and nutrition. It doesn’t take a tragedy for you to change your mind.

To those who are skeptical I urge them to visit their local hospital on a regular basis, for about three months. The amount of exposure you will get will be overbearing-and I can confidently say that, you will be a different person. This is your journey, nobody is forcing you to do anything, but don’t let awful conditions force you to change your ways.

You fitness inspiration will shoot up to the skies the moment you come to God, your father. Talk to him and ask him to teach you something. You will be amazed! No longer will you be expressing words such as. “Well, in our family we’re just fat”. Instead you will be uttering words such as “the lord is my constant, instant and abundant supplier”. So that even if you don’t enjoy working out in a traditional fitness center. Hrviews

I gave you the first part on how to crank up your fitness inspiration, and cheers to the second part of these exciting tips.

 What folks get into their bodies is so important that I can’t emphasize, I think we could classify consumers into two broad families: Those who know (have a lot of knowledge) and those who don’t know/or have little knowledge. It’s all about applying the knowledge that you have received. I don’t want you to just read these pointers and then leave them for the dead. Let this words change your life, live this words, then you would have done yourself a favor. If you never intend to put these words to test, then don’t even bother reading dear sister/brother. I love you, but I can’t facilitate irresponsibility. Btc-tw

 If you are going to have an apple/celery stick and yogurt as snack. Add some walnuts, hazelnuts or flax seeds into the whole picture. It helps in keeping you satisfied and it helps in extracting the nutrients from the fruits.

 Please do not use bottled dressing on your salads, instead use extra virgin oil and fresh lemon juice. Bottled dressing has more chemicals than your local dry cleaners.

Keep a fresh supply of natural nuts in your freezer (unsalted), for fatty acids and their slimming effect. Choose old fashioned oat meal instead of instant oat meal, the latter is highly processed.

There has been a long debate over the years as to whether it is motivation or inspiration that drives an individual best towards their goal. On the one hand, motivation is great for immediate action and more tangible outcomes in the short term.

On the other hand, inspiration, because of its intrinsically desired based nature, is powerful at getting you to access your true desires and you’re most authentic drives towards a goal like a fitter, stronger body for the long term. Chiicmagazine

 I’m on the side of inspiration especially when it comes to fitness. Fitness is a long term part of life and the last things you want to rely on in your fitness are fleeting and undependable motivations. So, it makes sense to have intrinsic and internal reasons to get fit rather than extrinsic and external motives that will have no effect the following day, let alone weeks and months. There is a caveat with inspiration though. Likemanga

INDIAN HERBAL SCIENTISTS claim to have found an effective and cheap treatment for the Hepatitis B, the dreaded disease that has some two billion infected people (infected with HBV – Hepatitis B virus), out of which more than 350 million have chronic (lifelong) infections, across the globe. Timesnewsnetwork

 Luck now based International Institute of Herbal Medicine (IIHM), headed by Dr Namenda Singh has developed an extract of traditional Indian plants (liver-kidney cure), which catalyses the generation of interferon in the cells.

The low generation of interferon in the cells reduces the liver’s capacity to fight with the viral infections. The liver-kidney cure for hepatitis is a combination of BohrrivaDeffusa (Panera), PicorhizaCurova (Kutki) and PhylynathusHirruri herbal extracts, which has been found highly useful in treating the deadly disease. Dailypostla

Singh says that scientists and clinicians from 12 Asian countries were a part of the intensive research and the drug was recently given recognition by Orthodox Union, an agency from USA and Israel. Companies from USA, France, Israel and Canada have already entered into an agreement with IIHM for the bulk production of the drug.

The Herbal formulation has the capacity of raising both the hemoglobin and interferon. “We are going ahead with more trials of the drug and discussions with other agencies were on,” says Dr. Singh. Timesnewsexpress

“The herbs were raised in the Botanical garden of Banaras Hindu University and Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), thus giving boost to the prospects of being recognized in a big way,” he pointed out.

Hepatitis B is preventable with safe and effective vaccines that have been available since 1982. It is 95 per cent effective in stopping chronic infections from developing. It is the first vaccine against a major human cancer. Ventsmagazin

 The World Health Organization (WHO) called for all children to receive the hepatitis B vaccine, in 1991. 116 countries have added this vaccine to their routine immunisationprogrammes.

However, India, where the vaccine is needed most, has not been receiving it because the government cannot afford it.

Signs and Symptoms

Hepatitis C has been called “the silent killer” because the virus often hides in the body for years, escaping detection as it attacks the liver. Since most people don’t have warning signs of hepatitis C (or don’t know how or when they were infected).

They don’t seek treatment until many years later. By the time hepatitis C symptoms appear or a diagnosis is made, the damage often is well underway.
