🚨 This SILENT KILLER affects 1.4 billion people - and most don't even know they have it.

High blood pressure has no symptoms. No warning signs. But it's the leading preventable cause of premature death worldwide - quietly causing heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease in people who feel completely fine.

Today is World Hypertension Day - and the message is simple: know your numbers.

The risk factors might surprise you. Being overweight, not exercising, smoking, alcohol, air pollution - and one of the biggest? A high-salt diet.

The good news? It's preventable and treatable. Eat less salt, move more, avoid to***co, limit alcohol, and if you've been prescribed medication - take it consistently.

Get your blood pressure checked. Today.

🚨 BREAKING: Ebola outbreak kills at least 80 people in DRC

An Ebola outbreak has been confirmed in the Ituri province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, with 246 suspected cases and at least 80 suspected deaths. And this strain is particularly concerning - because the vaccines and treatments we have for Ebola don't work against it.

The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola has no approved vaccine and no specific treatment. It's only caused two previous outbreaks in history. Uganda has confirmed an imported death in Kampala, meaning this has already crossed an international border.

Ebola spreads through direct contact with infected body fluids - including contaminated clothing and surfaces, and preparing the body of someone who has died. It can be fatal in up to 50% of those infected with this strain.

The , , and MSF are on the ground. But the outbreak was likely undetected for weeks before being declared - which makes containment significantly harder.

Unless you're in or travelling to East or Central Africa, your personal risk is very low. This is the time for strategy, not panic.
