A deadly Ebola virus outbreak has been confirmed in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, with 65 deaths reported so far, African health authorities said on Friday. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention reported 246 suspected cases, including four deaths among laboratory-confirmed patients.

The outbreak has been confirmed in Ituri Province. Africa CDC has convened an urgent high-level coordination meeting with DRC, Uganda, South Sudan, and global partners to strengthen cross-border surveillance and outbreak response.

Key Points:

Ebola is a highly contagious haemorrhagic fever that spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids.
The virus can cause severe bleeding, organ failure, and death.
Over the past 50 years, Ebola has claimed around 15,000 lives in Africa.
The deadliest DRC outbreak between 2018 and 2020 killed nearly 2,300 people.
Cross-border surveillance with Uganda and South Sudan is critical to prevent wider spread.

Washing your hair with cola could have great benefits. Do you dream of having beautiful hair, but does your hair not look as good in real life? If your hair is limp and dull, you should keep reading this article for this trick involving cola.

You’re not alone; many women have hair that lacks volume and shine. This is not surprising if you think about how we treat our hair. Washing, dyeing, straightening, and curling can cause damage. Luckily, there is a simple product that can help. You might already have a bottle of it in your fridge. Washing your hair with cola can make a big difference. We’re unsure if you’ll want to drink it after reading this, though.

Did you know cola is helpful for a lot of different things? You can use it to descale your tea kettle or to clean the toilet, for example. The popular beverage is so chemical that it can clean things. Who knew? You can also use it to remove chewing gum from your (or your children’s) hair. Just fill a bowl with cola, pop your piece of chewed gum in, and leave it for a while. You’ll be amazed at how easily you can get it out.

We can’t promise that this will work as well as some claim, but it’s worth trying if you want your hair to look fuller. Cola is said to make hair less limp and create a ‘messy’ look but in a good way. The high acidity level of cola closes and contracts the hair scales, which makes hair shine. Beauty vlogger Ellko tried the trick and is very satisfied with the results. You only need two small bottles of Coke and water to rinse it out again!

Too much salt can cause Alzheimer’s disease. How does the brain work if you eat a lot of salt?

Eating too much salt could be one of the causes of memory loss that is specific to Alzheimer’s disease, which is one of the most common forms of dementia. A new study shows that excess salt can affect blood flow to the brain and how our brain cells work.

In a study recently published in the journal Cell Reports, scientists explain how excessive salt consumption destroys the brain.

They used special brain scans to examine the hypothalamus, an important brain area that controls hormone balance, metabolism, body functions, and behavior. They found that people who ate a lot of salt had an unusual brain reaction.

When we eat a lot of salt, the brain tries to protect itself by controlling sodium levels in the blood. This causes the body to produce more of a hormone called vasopressin, which helps to keep sodium levels in the blood under control. Dr Javier Stern, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Georgia, explains this is very important.

Previous studies have suggested a possible link between neuronal activity and increased blood pressure. However, the researchers found that the activation of the neurotransmitters that determined the increased production of vasopressin triggered a decrease in blood circulation by narrowing the arteries in the brain.

We were surprised by the results because we had seen that blood vessels get narrower when people eat too much salt. This is often seen in patients with Alzheimer’s disease or after a heart attack or stroke. It’s like having your body always in a state of low oxygen, which slowly destroys brain tissue, the doctor explained.

The study raises important questions about how high blood pressure affects brain health, especially since more than half of cases of high blood pressure are linked to eating too much salt.

Foods that contain the most salt include cold cuts, pickles, canned goods, olives, smoked meats, marinated fish, cereals, bread, ketchup, soy sauce, mayonnaise, various vegetable seasoning mixes, chips, peanuts, popcorn, packet soups and multiple cheeses.

The recommended daily amount of salt is approximately 5 grams or one teaspoon. But if you’re over 50 or already have high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, or osteoporosis, you should limit your salt intake to just 1.5 – 2 grams/day.
