Depression Makes Menstrual Pain Worse |
Is there anything worse than going to work feeling depressed while on your period? Apparently yes—the pain you experience from doing so. A new study’s analysis suggests that depression increases the odds of more severe menstrual pains, or dysmenorrhea, by 50%. Interestingly, the opposite didn’t occur—having worse menstrual pain didn’t increase the likelihood of depressive symptoms. Of course, what we really need them to study next is what to do about it!

RN Gives Away Millions |
For years, Marie Dageville worked diligently as a hospice nurse. Then in September 2020, her life changed overnight when her husband’s data cloud company Snowflake went public and they became
billionaires. So now, Dageville is working just as hard, but with a different mission: giving away as much of their money as she can. She’s already learned some tips by talking with signers of the Giving Pledge, an initiative that calls for billionaires to donate most of their wealth.

Plant Proteins Benefit Heart |
Looking for another way to help your heart besides regular exercise and controlling your blood pressure? Switch to getting more protein from plants than animals. A new study looked at rates of heart disease, coronary artery disease, and stroke in more than 200,000 people over three decades. Those with a higher ratio of plant-based protein to animal-based protein had a 19% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and 27% lower risk of CAD. Check out these tasty sources of plant protein.
