      The Blue Monday Myth – RoSPA Workplace Safety Blog

      ‘Blue Monday’ may not be supported by hard evidence, but depression and other mental health issues are a real concern in the workplace.

      Before 2005 no-one talked about Blue Monday.

      The reason for this is because the idea that the third Monday in the month of January, later dubbed ‘Blue Monday’, was invented in a press release 15 years ago. The method used to develop the concept has since come under a lot of scrutiny, but despite this, a lot of people do suffer with their mental health during the winter.

      According to research conducted by pollster YouGov, as many

      June 28 (Reuters) – Use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to ease the effects of menopause, even for short periods, was associated with a higher risk for dementia in a nationwide study from Denmark, but the cognitive declines may not have been due to the treatment, researchers said on Wednesday.

      The study, published in The BMJ, contradicts some earlier studies that suggest HRT may protect against cognitive decline if the treatments are started near menopause onset.

      The research was complicated by the fact that scientists could not distinguish the reasons HRT was prescribed in the first place – to treat

      Quinoa Beet Salad – JennifersKitchen

      Let me be very clear. I do not like beets. I’ve spent over fifty years disliking beets.

      I’ve tried them boiled (gag-inducing), roasted (almost tolerable, but no), raw (the additional chewing required just prolongs the misery), and picked (where’s the bathroom?).

      Quinoa Beet Salad Ingredients

      To me, beets taste like garden dirt laced with a little bit of sugar. Interestingly, there is validity to that perception. Beets contain a naturally-occurring compound called geosmin, and geosmin gives beets their dirt-like . . . er. . . earthy flavour.

      Some people like this earthy flavor.

      I’m not one of them.
