Meet Toxoplasma gondii — a sneaky little parasite that lives in cat litter and causes toxoplasmosis infection.
For most people it's a non-event, but during pregnancy? It can seriously harm the fetus.

Simple fix: Wash your hands after every litter box change. If you are pregnant, do not eat undercooked meat.

Get to know these pathogens, but don't catch 'em at all!

Up to 70% of the salt we eat is hidden in processed and packaged foods - such as sauces, canned food, cured meat, breads - not just the salt we add to our meals.

Choosing fresh, minimally processed foods can help reduce your salt intake and protect your heart.

#LessSalt

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

For healthy diets, eat a variety of minimally processed and unprocessed foods to ensure you get enough essential micronutrients while reducing unhealthy fats, sugars and salt.

🥗🫛🍊🥑 Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, nuts and seeds with limited to moderate amounts of animal source foods such as fish, lean meat and dairy.

Aim for:
☑️ Adequacy (enough nutrients),
☑️ Balance (protein, fats and carbs),
☑️ Moderation (less of what harms our health),
☑️ Diversity (different food groups).

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Noncommunicable diseases - like diabetes & cancer - and mental health conditions are among the greatest public health & development challenges of our time.

But, as I told leaders at #UNGA, together we can transform lives & deliver on our promise of health & well-being for all.

Cancer. Diabetes. Cardiovascular diseases. Chronic respiratory diseases.

They are silent & deadly. 

Every year these diseases claim millions of lives. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Bold policies & healthier environments can stop these #SilentKillers in their tracks. 

Change is within our reach. 🔗https://t.co/geEms2yHSW #HealthForAll

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) like heart disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, and cancers are some of the world’s silent killers 👻.

This #Halloween, stay one step ahead—don’t let tobacco, alcohol, air pollution, or physical inactivity sneak up on you. #BeatNCDs💪

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

We all know someone who had a #stroke or has been at risk of this life-threatening condition.

Stroke can change a person’s life drastically, and time is the essence when it happens.

On #WorldStrokeDay, we call on everyone to help us raise awareness on how to prevent a stroke and recognize the symptoms so you may be able to help someone.
