    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    It has long been described as the Sunday blues – that common feeling of flatness and woe as we contemplate the working week ahead. But scientists have confirmed it is more than just a dip in mood – it is, in fact, a real affliction that affects us physically and mentally and even impacts our behaviour. The study – which analysed global research, carried out focus groups and examined personal diaries – found that the blues peaked at around 7pm on Sunday and were triggered by the frustration of an

    Read excerpt

    Honey is being laced with dangerously high levels of Viagra and sold as a food stuff to boost your love life, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Drugs to tackle erectile dysfunction – PDE-5 inhibitors – are being added to so-called 'aphrodisiac honey', which is then being sold as a healthy organic food to unwitting customers, a study found.

    Read excerpt

    High street opticians could one day be used to diagnose depression, a study has suggested. Scientists have found that specialist images of the back of the eye, often included as part of standard eye tests, can hold clues as to who might be at risk of depression years later. Their research, based on a study of 40,000 British adults, found those with wider veins leading to the retina – a layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye – were up to 50 per cent more likely to develop depressi

    Having relationship troubles? Then try stroking your partner's arm at the precise speed at which cherry blossom falls. It might sound bizarre, but an experiment has concluded that gently stroking a line along the inner forearm, between the wrist and the elbow, can significantly improve mood and happiness. The stroking – done with a soft paintbrush – should be conducted at just five centimetres a second – the speed at which cherry blossom falls to the ground in spring. The technique improved mood

    Britons with green fingers prefer brightly-coloured flowers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    The secret to a mood-boosting garden may lie not in what you plant, but what shade it blooms in. Scientists at the Royal Horticultural Society have found that those with green fingers are drawn overwhelmingly to vivid, saturated flower colours, with red topping the list for the love and admiration it inspires. The more intense the hue, the stronger the emotional pull, the researchers found, with muted, dark and pale tones all producing far weaker reactions. Yellow came a close second, producing
