How to lower your blood pressure
More than 1 in 4 adults have high blood pressure (hypertension), a condition that can lead to kidney damage, stroke, and heart disease. It's important to get your blood pressure checked regularly. But if you've already been told yours is in the high region, these lifestyle tips can help you reduce it.
Why our brains are hooked on bad news
In a world where every global and local event is amplified by social media and 24-hour news cycles, switching off feels nearly impossible. Sensationalised headlines dominate our feeds, often leaving positive stories overlooked. This constant stream of information can become overwhelming - and even damaging - to our mental health. But why are we wired to focus more on bad news than good?
