1. We tend to get bigger portions during meals than we really should be eating. There is a phrase that your eyes are bigger than your stomach. When eating a meal try and leave 25% of it on the plate. We are brought up to believe that we always need to clean our plates fully and have often heard “There are starving children in other countries” as a reason why. Using a smaller plate or bowl can also help you to cut out calories because the portions look bigger when they are on a smaller dish so you don’t eat as much.

Ebola: 1.4 Million Could Be Infected By January – WHO

 

Fears over the spread of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) are on the rise as new estimates by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United States health agency are warning that the number of Ebola cases could rise up to 1.4 million people in Sierria Leone and Liberia by mid-January 2015, unless efforts to curb the outbreak improved significantly.

In the analysis released on Tuesday, September 24, 2014 WHO that there are indications the virus could spread for years to come if better control measures are not put in place.
This calculations, WHO said are based on reported cases only.

The UN health agency said the true death toll for Liberia, the outbreak’s hardest-hit nation might never be known since many bodies of Ebola victims in a crowded slum in the capital city, Monrovia, were simply thrown into nearby rivers.

Since the first cases were reported six months ago, the tally of cases in West Africa has reached an estimated 5,800 illnesses and over 2,800 deaths, but the WHO warned that tallies of recorded cases and deaths were likely to be gross underestimates of the toll that the killer virus was wreaking.
