        A good nutritious, well-balanced breakfast can give you energy, prevent you from eating too much during the rest of the day and boost your productivity. Here are the 12 best foods to eat in the morning. 1. Eggs Eggs  are certainly healthy and delicious. Studies have found that eating eggs at breakfast increases feelings of fullness, reduces calorie intake at the next meal and helps keep steady blood sugar and insulin levels.

By

      Could   there be a link between poverty, crowded accommodation, and Africa's bafflingly low infection and death rates from the pandemic?

By
Image
  As the possibility of a widely available COVID-19 vaccine steadily draws nearer, initial limitations in supply have left experts worldwide asking: Who should get the vaccine first? The World Health Organization and its appointed Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, or SAGE, have announced a worldwide vaccine distribution plan — it pushes back on so-called vaccine nationalism, the idea that each country should prioritize its own citizens. Instead, the WHO adopts a global approach, prioritizing vaccination among the most vulnerable people everywhere. “The first priority must be to vaccinate some people in all the countries, rather than all the people in some countries,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated in Geneva on Friday. “Vaccine nationalism will prolong the pandemic, not shorten it.” The WHO’s proposed vaccine distribution framework would ensure all countries access to the novel coronavirus vaccine once it becomes available.
