Make sure you're not ignoring important symptoms (Photo: Shutterstock)

With liver cancer deaths on the rise in the UK, this is everything you need to know about symptoms, treatment and preventative measures.

What are the symptoms to look out for?

According to the NHS, symptoms of liver cancer are often vague and do not appear until the cancer is at an advanced stage.

- Unintentional weight loss

- Feeling very full after eating, even if youve only eaten a small amount

- Feeling unwell and vomiting

- Pain or swelling in the abdomen

- Jaundice, which is the yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes

- A pain in your abdomen or right shoulder

- A lump in the right side of your abdomen

If youre experiencing any of these listed symptoms you should get in touch with your GP - its likely that theres a more common explanation for the symptoms such as an infection, but its best to get it checked out by a medical professional.

The NHS advises that you should also see your GP if youve been previously diagnosed with a condition that is known to affect your liver, such as cirrhosis or a hepatitis C infection, and you find that your health has suddenly gotten worse.

Treatment for liver cancer is entirely dependant on what stage the condition is at.

Treatment options include:

- Surgical resection, which is surgery to remove a section of the liver

- Liver transplant, where the liver is replaced with a donor liver

- Microwave or radiofrequency ablation, where microwaves or radio waves are used to destroy the cancerous cells

In the case where the cancer is too advanced for these treatments, chemotherapy can be used to slow down the spread of cancer and also relieve symptoms such as pain and discomfort.

What causes liver cancer?

While the exact cause of liver cancer is unknown, most cases are associated with damage and scarring of the liver, known as cirrhosis, according to the NHS.

Cirrhosis can be caused by a number of things, including:

- Excessive alcohol consumption over many years

- Having a long term hepatitis B or hepatitis C viral infection

- Haemochromatosis, which is an inherited disorder in which iron levels in the body build up over many years

- Primary biliary cirrhosis, which is a long term liver disease in which the bile ducts in the liver become damaged

It is also believed that obesity and an unhealthy diet can also increase the risk of liver cancer.

Can you prevent liver cancer?

Because liver cancer is usually only detected in its advanced stages, prevention is key.

According to the NHS, you may be able to significantly reduce your chances of developing liver cancer by:

- Avoiding or cutting back on alcohol

- Taking steps to reduce your risk of becoming infected with hepatitis B and C

The NHS says, Over the past few decades, rates of liver cancer in the UK have risen considerably, possibly as a result of increased levels of alcohol consumption and obesity.

Weve all read and heard that we are what we eat, but can just transforming your eating habits help you lose weight? According to 27-year-old Nimit Agarwal, not only can healthy eating habits kick-start your weight loss journey but it can also effectively reduce your bodys stress levels.

In April 2017, I fainted in my office and was forced to visit a doctor by my colleagues. The doc checked my bodys vitals, and was shocked. I weighed 84 kgs, my BMI was at 32 and my blood pressure was touching 160. I also had high sugar and very high cholesterol. The doc told me that these elevated symptoms are very similar are commonly found in the reports of an unhealthy 60-year-old man and not someone who's in their 20s, he says.

This statement shocked and surprised me! The doc also told me that if I didn't start taking care of my health soon, I'd be preparing my own death bed," he adds. "This one day changed my life. I knew I had to do whatever I could to get fit.

During this time, I was working 14 hours a day, neither did I have the time to workout nor the energy, so to lose weight, I focussed on the one thing I couldeating healthy. In a years time, by sticking to the below weight loss plan, I trimmed from 84 kgs to 65 kgs."

To start eating healthier, I made the below four changes in my regular diet and indulged in zero cheat meals. During this phase, I also rarely exercised. My weight loss was only a result of sticking to my four self-imposed changes.

1. Always have breakfast on time. This breakfast has to comprise more protein and less carbs (always).

2. Completely cut sugar from your meals, including refined sugars, in the form of sweets, beverages and chocolates.

3. Say no to fried food (I gave up on samosas and kachoris, which I used to like and savour the most).

4. Have an early, light dinner. Id have my last meal 4 hours before I went to sleep. This meal only included vegetables, dal and a bowl of yogurt (no roti or rice at all).

QUICK READ: 10 superfoods to include in your weight loss diet

Notably, its been one and a half years since I lost the 19 kgs, and I have been able to maintain my weight at 65 kgs by indulging in the below exercise routine and diet plan:

- 2 days of strength training (HIIT for 60 mins focusing on complete body workouts without any external weights)

- 1 day of Yoga (For stretching the body and relaxing the muscles from long workouts)

- I also make it a point to go swimming or cycling once a week.

- 3-4 days of running (One fast running session for almost 45 minutes on a medium pace for 2 days. On the third day, I run for 60 mins, I also go for one long distance run for about 2-3 hours on weekends)

Since Ive been running for almost 18 months now regularly, it has helped me morph into a long distance runner. And, so far, I have completed 11 half marathons including one of India's highest and most challenging one in Ladakh.

"Also, now, I have relaxed the food restrictions I placed on my diet during my weight loss regime. But, I am still very conscious of what I eat. For example, I don't eat any sugar at all. I also drink a lot of water and ensure my food is rich in protein, good carbs and fibers."

Breakfast: An omelette made from 4 egg whites + sprouts + upma/porridge/poha

Lunch: A bowl of dal + two types of green vegetables + a bowl of curd + a small portion of brown rice + 2 egg whites

Dinner: A bowl of dal + one bowl of green vegetables + 1 bowl of curd + 1 chapati

QUICK READ: This is how eating eggs daily will help you lose weight without compromising on flavour

"I learned six very important lessons while trying to lose weight, I think they may be able to help you too:

1. Be selfish - Health is the only thing that you should be selfish about. It should be prioritised over everything else. You are at the center of your universe and everybody else in your life is a planet revolving around you. If the center of the universe is not stable or healthy, no matter how much you try to shine or hold the planets together, the universe will collapse.

2. It's not about weight loss - There is no direct correlation between weight and health. You can have a person with perfectly normal weight who is in bad health and vice versa. So don't only think about losing weight, think about good health. Healthy life is a continuous, non-stop process which needs to be practiced equally by everyone, irrespective of their weight or age.

3. Don't wait - Don't wait for a signal. You won't always be as lucky as I was to get a warning. There is no right age or time to start working on your health.

4. Have patience - I didn't do anything extreme; I took one step at a time and kept on adding over these steps. This is a marathon not a sprint. Marathoners run till the age of 60; sprinters cannot run after 30. Don't overdo anything. Start with the thing which is easiest for you. The thumb rule is to ask yourself if you can do it for 12 months?

5. Make process goals and not outcome goals - One common mistake we all make is set 'outcome goals surrounding our weight, tummy size, bicep size, six packs, blood pressure, sugar, etc. I made the same mistake but was quick to realise that it has two problems. First, it is very difficult to achieve constant progression and keep yourself motivated to achieve these goals. For example, you may not lose weight everyday as it is the result of a lot of different things (some of which you cannot even control). So, as soon as we start seeing a dip in progression, we will feel sad and disappointed, leading to a complete stop. Secondly, once we achieve 'outcome goals', we tend to stop. Like I explained earlier, leading a healthy life is a lifelong process and it cannot just be a phase. That's why you should have process goals that are long term.

- You should be able to track these goals regularly

- You cannot have any negative progression until you stop doing it

- Push your limits. The time frame to achieve your goals should be infinite

6. Make noise - Create a sense of peer pressure around you by sharing your goals and the whole journey with your friends, family members or even the outside world using social media.

Baseball free agency began Tuesday, giving all 30 teams an opportunity to fill holes, create depth or look for that one player who can boost TV ratings and bring fans to the park.

How many teams will use this opportunity wisely remains to be seen.

Nearly a third are at the start or in the middle of long-term rebuilds, and another five or six teams are wary of exceeding the $208 million luxury-tax threshold.

The Chicago Cubs aren't saying if they'll be buyers or just window shoppers.

"As an organization, we're not talking about payroll or luxury tax at all," Cubs President Theo Epstein said last week. "I feel like every time we've been at all specific, or even allowed people to make inferences from things we've said, it just puts us in a hole strategically."

A few days later, Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts went on WSCR-AM 670 to inform everyone the Cubs paid millions last year in luxury-tax penalties, calling it "a dead-weight loss" and allowing people to infer the Cubs won't be spending big this winter.

The Cubs may even have to shed some big salaries, Ricketts warned.

"Maybe we can't keep them all because of the salaries that they'll demand over the next few years," he said. "But ultimately, now I think we can stop talking about windows (to contend)."

Meanwhile, White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf needs the next phase of the rebuild to include some winning along with the nonstop developing. The Sox have the resources to address the rotation and outfield while also getting a left-handed bat and rewarding free agent Jose Abreu.

After failing to outbid the Padres for free agent Manny Machado in February, general manager Rick Hahn said the Sox would be just as aggressive down the road.

"The money will be spent," Hahn said. "It might not be spent this offseason, but it will be spent at some point. This isn't money sitting around waiting to just accumulate interest. It's money that's trying to be deployed to put us in the best position to win us some championships."

Assuming they did accumulate some interest on the $250 million Machado rejected, Hahn will have even more to play with this winter.

Now would be a good time to spend it, with stars such as Gerrit Cole, Anthony Rendon and Yasmani Grandal available and potentially J.D. Martinez and Stephen Strasburg as well, if they invoke opt-out clauses.

Here's a look at the top available free agents, though some will re-sign with their teams and others will be available when teams non-tender arbitration-eligible players next month.

STARTING PITCHERS

Gerrit Cole: The dominant Astros starter figures to become the highest-paid pitcher in history after a brilliant season that might lead to his first Cy Young Award. The Southern California native got into the spirit of free agency immediately after the Astros' Game 7 World Series loss, donning a hat from his agency instead of his Astros cap. That's keeping it real.

Stephen Strasburg: The World Series MVP has been through so much in Washington, it's hard to imagine him leaving now when he and the Nationals are at the top. But money talks, and the timing couldn't be any better to cash in.

Madison Bumgarner: It's a tricky situation for teams interested in Bumgarner, one of the best postseason performers of any era. Was his career-high 3.90 ERA in 2019 a blip or a trend? Either way, the old-school lefty would be a good influence on a young staff such as the White Sox's.

Dallas Keuchel: He made only 19 starts for the Braves after accepting a one-year deal in June, but Keuchel limited left-handed hitters to a .189 average and posted a 2.06 ERA in eight starts from Aug. 14 to Sept. 22. He should finally draw some interest, especially from teams scared off by Cole's price tag.

Jake Odorizzi: A career-best 15-7 season with a 3.51 ERA in 30 starts for the Twins suggests he'll be high on the list of any team looking for a top starter who costs only a mini-fortune.

Hyun-Jin Ryu: The Dodgers lefty turns 33 in March, so a long-term deal might not be advisable. But his agent is Scott Boras, so expect a long-term deal. Ryu led the National League with a 2.32 ERA, which he had down to 1.64 in mid-August before tiring.

Cole Hamels: While he's eighth among active pitchers with 163 career wins, Hamels' age (36 in December) and health make him a bit of a risk. The Cubs lefty had a 2.92 ERA before suffering an oblique strain June 28, then posted a 6.39 ERA in his first nine starts after coming off the injured list. The Cubs shut him down until a meaningless start the final weekend so he could prove he was healthy.

Zack Wheeler: The No. 6 pick in the 2009 draft by the Giants, Wheeler has always been hyped as a future star but has yet to show it with the Mets. He pitched 195 1/3 innings in 2019, ninth among NL starters, so there's that.

RELIEF PITCHERS

Aroldis Chapman: He's still the most dominant reliever in the game, despite giving up a season-ending home run to Astros star Jose Altuve in the American League Championship Series clincher. He can opt out of his deal with the Yankees.

Dellin Betances: A torn Achilles in his first 2019 appearance robbed Betances of a chance to prove himself in his walk year, but he has been a potential closer for years with the Yankees and at worst would be a quality setup man. Betances has a career average of 14.6 strikeouts per nine innings.

Will Smith: The Giants inexplicably held on to Smith at the trade deadline when everyone needed a late-inning lefty. He finished a career year with 34 saves and a 2.76 ERA, and everyone still needs a late-inning lefty.

CATCHERS

Yasmani Grandal: The Brewers star is coming out of a one-year, $18.25 million contract after failing to find a lucrative deal last winter. He's the only top catcher on the market, not to mention a left-handed bat. Grandal rejected a four-year, $60 million deal with the Mets last winter, so start from there and go up ... way up.

INFIELDERS

Anthony Rendon: A consistent hitter who led the NL in RBIs (126) and doubles (44) before leading the Nationals to a championship, Rendon will be this year's version of Manny Machado or Bryce Harper, commanding $300 million or more. And he will be worth it.

Josh Donaldson: With a 37-homer season after signing a one-year, $23 million deal with the Braves, Donaldson will be a less pricey alternative to Anthony Rendon for those in need of a slugging third baseman.

Jose Abreu: The White Sox have repeatedly said they want Abreu back, and Abreu has said he will sign himself if he has to. Now it's a matter of filling in the numbers and years on the new contract.

Mike Moustakas: Another year of free agency for "Moose," who settled for one-year deals the last two offseasons. Thirty-plus-home-run hitters just aren't what they used to be, are they?

OUTFIELDERS

J.D. Martinez: Another player with an opt-out, and with Scott Boras as his agent, he could be one of the more coveted free agents for AL teams looking for a designated hitter who can also play the outfield. Martinez has a .995 career OPS against left-handers and is not slowing down at 32.

Nicholas Castellanos: The one bright spot of the Cubs' second half was the play of Castellanos, who had 16 home runs and 21 doubles in 51 games and posted a 1.002 OPS. A small sample size perhaps, but 58 doubles overall in 2019 suggests he's only getting better, and he hustles.

Marcell Ozuna: The Cardinals outfielder hit .160 over the final month of 2019 to end his walk year with a thud. Someone will bite on his potential.

FIVE OTHERS TO WATCH

Yasiel Puig: Looking for a bat-licking, showboating outfielder who is not nearly as good as he thinks he is? Puig is your man.

Ben Zobrist: The Cubs second baseman/outfielder hasn't decided whether to hang it up, but finishing his career with Joe Maddon in Anaheim wouldn't be a bad send-off.

Hunter Pence: It was a nice comeback season for the inimitable Pence, who hit .297 in 83 games with the Rangers. Like Ben Zobrist, he's a good guy to have on the bench and in the clubhouse.

Howie Kendrick: After his postseason heroics, including the go-ahead home run in Game 7 of the World Series, the Nationals should do anything to keep him around.

Rich Hill: His age (40 in March) and history of injuries make Hill a considerable risk, but when he was available to pitch the last four years, he went 30-16 with a 3.16 ERA with the Dodgers.

The Los Angeles area medical group comments on a recent article that a weight loss procedure has emerged as an especially effective weapon in the war against a common but devastating medical condition.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) November 06, 2019

An October 13 article on Yahoo News reports on the increasingly alarming rate of obesity in the United States. According to the article, while no U.S. state had an obesity rate above 15 percent in 1985, all 50 states now have a population that is over 20 percent obese. The article cites quite a few reasons for this rise, including eating out more often (restaurant food tends to be significantly higher in calories), poor diets lacking in nutritious foods, and a lack of exercise caused by lifestyles that have become increasingly sedentary. Los Angeles-based weight loss center Dr. Feiz and Associates says that, while obese individuals should naturally be making a concerted effort to eat better and exercise, failing to lose enough weight to defeat obesity is not a sign of poor willpower and it's definitely not a character flaw. Instead, the clinic holds the body's own mechanisms as a primary offender in preventing people from achieving sustained weight loss. So far, the clinic notes, certain weight loss procedures have proven to be highly effective in circumventing hormonal efforts to keep obese people forever obese.

The primary chemical enemy of dieters, the medical group explains, is a hormone known as ghrelin that is believed to be responsible for creating sensations of hunger in the body. When an individual loses a large amount of weight, particularly if this loss occurs at a rapid pace, the body sends false alarms that the individual is not receiving enough calories and enters into a survival mode of sorts trying to induce us to eat more calories as if a famine was coming soon. The clinic notes that these hormonally induced feelings feel essentially the same as real hunger and, over time, typically wear down even the most disciplined and strong-willed individuals. Dr. Feiz and Associates notes that there is no countervailing biological process in place that tries to reduce our food consumption when we are too heavy.

Dr. Feiz and Associates says bariatric surgery offers a significant boost in the fight against obesity. The clinic cites sleeve gastrectomy, which removes roughly 75%-85% of the stomach, as a prime example of weight loss surgery that can help patients lose and maintain their weight without being as radically invasive as older procedures. This surgery is particularly effective in that it removes an area in the stomach that appears to be responsible for ghrelin production alongside making overeating physically uncomfortable. The clinic says that by dramatically reducing hormonal hunger, patients are finally able to sustain their weight loss once they are no longer plagued by incessant hunger pangs. Dr. Feiz and Associates note that patients who come out of the sleeve gastrectomy typically lose significant amounts of weight and even more important are able to stave off the return of obesity over the long term.

The qualities of confidence, ambition, and strength are closely associated with high testosterone levels.

It's no accident these characteristics are predominantly male. The more testosterone you have, the greater ability for these qualities to be expressed.

Increasing your testosterone has powerful cognitive and physiological effects.

It can enhance your tolerance for stress, helps alleviate fatigue, has mood brightening effects, and improves body composition (reduced fat/increased muscle).

Well-being (reduction in depression and mild euphoria)

Confidence (reduced social anxiety and greater assertiveness)

Energy improvements and greater work capacity

Motivation (greater ambition)

Sex drive/libido and response times heightened (shorter refractory period)

Concentration (greater ability to complete complex mental tasks)

Strength and muscle mass increases

Body fat reduction and higher basal metabolic rate

Testosterone levels higher than 1000ng/dl or 35nmol/L are generally considered "significantly above normal" for men.

Going above that mark means you're somewhere in the top 2.5% of all men. The bottom 2.5% would put you below 250ng/dl or 9nmol/L serum testosterone.

For the average male, 1000ng/dl corresponds to about 150mg to 200mg of supplemental testosterone per week, depending on the individual's metabolizing ability.

After witnessing many firsthand reports, going well above higher than normal testosterone dosages can produce profound effects on mental and physical abilities.

What's interesting to note, most "medical professionals" will tell you nothing beneficial can be gained by going over normal ranges.

More accurately, most doctors will tell you it's outright dangerous. Strangely this opinion is based on limited to no supporting facts.

It's been the prevailing wisdom in the medical profession since at least the 1980's, which has much to do with the popular presses' negative PR campaigning against steroids in sport.

A number of studies have been published supporting testosterone's effectiveness in supraphysiologic dosages.

No effect on anger, mood and increased sex drive, and increased strength and muscle size.

One of testosterone's psychotropic effects is its ability to raise your sex drive. Its nature's way of telling you "Get out there and get laid. Don't focus on one woman in particular. Find what's available and get the job done." It's indiscriminate.

A little simplistic but... men's primary purpose for sex is to spread their seed as far and wide as possible. It's a matter of quantity over quality... a direct effect of testosterone on your brain.

On the other hand, it's more favorable for women to get quality over quantity since she has to carry a child for 9 months and is responsible for the majority of child rearing.

Thats one of the reasons why women's testosterone is lower. It's disadvantages for them to have promiscuous sex with random men and get pregnant.

Acne (primarily on back and shoulders)

Minor testicle shrinkage (not necessarily a negative)

Reduced fertility (can be offset with HCG and/or Clomid)

Hair Loss (can be decreased or prevented with Propecia (finasteride) and/or Nizoral Shampoo (ketoconazole))

Enlarged prostate (can be offset by keeping DHT and estrogen in check)

All these side effects can all be mitigated by responsible use and safe practices.

One important thing to note... as I'm sure it's on many of your minds. Will having higher testosterone cause you harm if it's something you intend on doing long term?

Well it's not without its risks, and unfortunately there isn't much long term data supporting either position. It's something you have to weigh the positives against the negatives.

I'd suggest working with a doctor to keep close tabs on your health markers, most notably lipids and hematocrit (high red blood cells), which tend to get the most skewed with supraphysiological dosages.

Cant lose weight and frustrated with poor weight loss results? Worry no more because Im giving you two proven techniques to help you lose weight effectively!

RELATED: Why Keto and Intermittent Fasting Really Works

In this article:

Losing Weight Can Be Difficult

Working with more than 40,000 people over 27 years, I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in trying to lose weight. The absolute fastest way to get the weight off is to combine two powerful techniques: intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet.

Powerful Technique #1: Intermittent Fasting

If you cant lose weight, intermittent fasting might be effective for you. Intermittent fasting is going for several hours without eating. Its a hormone-friendly action that triggers the main fat-burning hormone and forces your body to use up your stored fat.

When people hear the word fasting, they think they have to go on a hunger strike rather than on a weight loss diet. Intermittent fasting simply uses strategic timing to cut caloric intake and burn calories and fat faster by passing on meals you don't need to eat in the first place.

For example, we were led to believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day as a result of an old marketing campaign from breakfast cereal companies. But when you eat in the morning, even if youre not hungry, you basically stop the fat-burning process. Your body is not starving. Its just eating up your stored fat and thats what we want, right?

The hormone that forces your body to burn fat is called the growth hormone. Most people associate the human growth hormone (HGH) with professional sports where it acts as a performance-enhancing substance and builds muscle mass. It also helps with healthy aging. HGH is the main fat-burning hormone of the body, and intermittent fasting triggers it.

Adjust your eating cycles and put intermittent fasting into action. You can choose from different intermittent fasting options picking the one that works best for you. This amazing pattern of eating forces your body to burn fat and to avoid a weight loss plateau since youre constantly changing your pattern of eating. My system, as prescribed, follows three simple steps:

If you do hardcore workout routines or some strength training, you may need to stick to the first two steps. Rinse and repeat until you hit your physical activity goal. All these meals should fall within a ketogenic diet. Not sure what that is? Ill discuss more of that below.

RELATED: Why People Really Fail with Intermittent Fasting

Powerful Technique #2: Ketogenic Diet

Ketogenic eating can also help you if you cant lose weight. It refers to a moderate-protein, high-fat, and no-sugar diet. This means cutting out refined carbohydrates and sugars completely no bread, no pasta, no rice, and no potatoes. You can, however, keep eating vegetable carbohydrates.

By cutting sugary and processed foods and adding fatty foods like eggs, nuts, avocados, and even cheese, you feel fuller and have fewer cravings. You can go longer without eating. When there are no sugars left to be used as fuel, your body is forced to burn its own fat reserves for energy, preventing you from gaining weight.

The Power Behind Combining Intermittent Fasting with Ketogenic Dieting

Most people have been stuck on the exact opposite strategy: frequent small meals (the opposite of intermittent fasting) and a low-fat diet/lean protein diet (the opposite of a ketogenic diet). Snacking and cutting out fat keep your insulin high. In the presence of insulin, you cant achieve long-term weight loss! Adding intermittent fasting to a ketogenic diet can strategically get you to your goal fast.

This is not a low-calorie diet, and I dont recommend low-fat food choices. You are simply switching your body into fat-burning mode and letting your body run on fat fuel, which is a healthy thing.

Aside from that, combining the two diet plans can help achieve a smooth transition to a keto diet if you cant lose weight. Intermittent fasting can aid your body in achieving the state of ketosis faster than doing a keto diet only. Ketosis is where your body starts to use fat as fuel for energy instead of your blood glucose. Reaching ketosis is faster when fasting since your body has to balance its energy by switching its fuel from carbs to fat.

The combination of intermittent fasting and keto diet may also help you lose fat faster than doing the diet only. Fasting aids in improving your metabolic rate as it promotes heat production, utilizing the stubborn stored fats. For those who are aiming to keep their muscle mass, intermittent fasting may help preserve lean muscle mass while helping you lose weight.

It also stimulates autophagy, an internal process of cleaning your cells. When this happens, the cells in your body sift through their internal parts, get rid of damaged and old parts, and renew them. The cells are like reviving their own selves. This bodily process boosts longevity and reduces inflammation levels.

Now that you have a clear understanding of how to get rid of excess fat if you cant lose weight, you might want to start planning your fasting schedule and meals. Its not about lowering the number of calories; instead, its about combining two powerful techniques into one highly effective weight loss strategy. Add exercise, change your eating habits, and see your body transform!
