The World Health Organization and partners have issued an urgent call for concrete action to better protect health and care workers worldwide from COVID-19 and other health issues. 
The organizations are concerned that large numbers of health and care workers have died from COVID-19, but also that an increasing proportion of the workforce are suffering from burnout, stress, anxiety and fatigue.
In a Joint Statement issued this week, WHO and partners are calling on all Member State governments and stakeholders to strengthen the monitoring and reporting of COVID-19 infections, ill-health and deaths among health and care workers. They should also include disaggregation by age, gender and occupation as a standard procedure, to enable decision makers and scientists to identify and implement mitigation measures that will further reduce the risk of infections and ill-health.

It is unfortunate that most people don't know how important their brain is to their existence and because of this ignorance, a lot of them pay little or no attention towards ensuring that their brain is in good order. 

Let me start by giving you a brief education on how important the "brain" is to every human being.

Your brain is your body's command base where instructions are passed to every single part of your body. It is the chief of the nervous system, which controls everything, beginning from your senses to every single muscle throughout your body.


 
The implication of the above explanation is that if your brain is damaged, it can affect virtually every part of your body, including your memory, your sensation, and even your attitude. 

When the brain of a person is damaged it leads to various types of brain disorders which can be detected through various signs. In this article, I will be highlighting the four most popular categories of brain disorders and their symptoms as sourced from the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, and www.healthline.com.

1. Brain Injuries 

Brain injuries are brain disorders mostly caused by blunt trauma (shock, collision, or as explained by your physician). Trauma can easily harm brain tissue, neurons, and nerves. When this occurs, it affects your brain's ability to articulate with the rest of your body. The most common forms of brain injuries include strokes and concussions. 

The following are symptoms of brain injuries: vomiting, nausea, speech difficulty, bleeding from the ear, numbness, paralysis, memory loss, concentration problem, irregular breathing, pupil dilation.

2. Brain Tumors

Brain tumors are brain conditions that occur due to the formation of tumors in the brain. There are basically two classes of brain tumors: The primary, noncancerous tumors also known as benign, and the secondary, metastatic, or cancerous brain tumors otherwise known as malignant. 

The causes of brain tumors are largely unknown and they can occur in people of any age. The following are symptoms of brain tumors: headaches, seizures (convulsions), numbness or tingling in your arms or legs, nausea, vomiting, changes in attitude, difficulty with movement or balance, changes in hearing, speech, or vision.

3. Neurodegenerative Diseases 

These are brain diseases that cause the brain and nerves to deteriorate with time. They affect one's attitude and leads to many complications. These diseases the brain's tissue and nerves. 

Some of them like Alzheimer's disease may occur as you grow old and they can gradually impair memory and thought procedures. There are also some like Tay-Sachs disease that are genetic and they can develop in early age. 

Common symptoms of Neurodegenerative diseases; memory loss, forgetfulness, apathy, anxiety, agitation (madness or as described by the physician), a loss of inhibition, and mood changes. 

4. Mental Disorders 

Mental disorders are of diverse conditions and they usually affect behavior patterns. Some of the commonly diagnosed mental disorders are as follows; anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Schizophrenia. Symptoms of mental disorders usually based on the prevalent conditions. 

In conclusion, brain disorders are dangerous threats to the stable life of any individual. Many of them are curable while there are some which can only be managed. 

Early prevention is always better than cure, eat well and take good care of your body, but if you discover any of the above-listed symptoms in your body, please consult a certified physician urgently for proper medical advice. 

Please don't keep this information to yourself, do well to share it with others.

Stop Eating These 3 Popular Foods, They Are Bad for Your Eyes
The things we consume into our body system play a huge part in our health. That is why it is very pertinent to watch the kinds of foods we take in. You may be someone with a particular eye problem, but because you may be ignorant about the foods that are bad for the health of the eye, you may still be eating them. The eyes are one of the most important parts of the body because they are what we see through. Hence, it is important to take proper care of them.
This article would be highlighting 3 foods you should avoid if you want the best for your eyes.
White or Plain colored foods: You are conversant with these type of food, they are mostly starchy foods. They are rice, noodles, white bread, etc.
It has been discovered that these kinds of food do not benefit the eye in any way. They are carbohydrates that merely just provides the body with energy. Hence, if you would want to continue taking these foods then you should ensure that you eat them along with a lot of greens. It has been discovered that a large number of people just cook their noodles and add the spice to it without adding healthier food materials to it, this is very bad for your eye.
Also consuming excess of these kinds of food can lead to an excess amount of glucose in the body. Excess glucose in turn can form plaques that can block the blood vessels connected to the eyes.
Foods with excess cholesterol: These foods are commonly consumed by lots of people. However, these foods can lead to the damage of the eyes. Excess cholesterol in the body system is known to form lumps that end up blocking the blood vessels that are responsible for passing blood to the eyes. This can lead to blurry vision, and if it continues for a long time, can lead to blindness. This is majorly because the eye is an organ of the body that works with constant supply of blood. Hence, if there happens to be anything that stops blood from being supplied to the eyes, the effect might be very bad for the eyes.
Red Meat:
Red meat has been discovered to contain the highest amount of salt among the foods that humans consume, and one of the reasons for this is because salt is used to preserve meat. However, when the salt level in your diet is high, it can lead to the retention of water, and this can happen when you consume excess red meat. Also the more salt content present in your body, the more chances of you getting a high blood pressure. When a person doesn’t treat his/her high blood pressure, it can in turn lead to eye disease.
