This Valentine’s Day, embrace green as the new colour of love

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 13, 2024

But there’s another hue with a secret, sensual history longing for embrace: green.

Key Points: 
  • But there’s another hue with a secret, sensual history longing for embrace: green.
  • In these times of conflict, 2024 is the year we should remember what connects rather than divides us, and embrace green as the colour of love.

Green is at the heart


In the ancient Indian chakra tradition, green is the colour of the heart. The heart organ has long been associated with love. A chakra, conceptualised as a wheel of whirling energy, balances particular emotions and the health of the body. The heart chakra at the centre of the chest represents loving-kindness, compassion and care.

  • Green has a range of cross-cultural meanings to do with balance, peace and hope.
  • It is important in the Catholic faith for hope and life, as in Judaism, where it means renewal.
  • It symbolised a young woman’s sexuality, and being “greensick” was a term for a youth in unrequited love.


During the Renaissance, pastoral and woodland settings symbolised nature, pleasure, freedom and lack of convention, as Arden does in Shakespeare’s As You Like It and the forest in A Midsummer Night’s Dream: an alternative Green World, an erotic Eden. Bawdy Renaissance madrigals such as Now is the Month of Maying included references to a “barley break” (a roll in the hay) and lads and lasses making merry upon the “greeny grass”.

Hidden greens

  • Old songs give us some clues to the secret, erotic symbolism of the colour green and its fateful relationship to women’s sexuality.
  • The Tudor version of Greensleeves contains suggestive lyrics regarding crimson stockings with gold above the knee and pumps as white as milk, and a grassy-green gown.
  • Green in mediaeval times was also a sign of female promiscuity rather than free love.
  • Wearing green reputedly signalled a woman’s willingness to make love, since it denoted fertility and the loss of virginity.


In the Middle Ages, healers and wise-women who held vital medicinal plant and herb use, as well as some who may have practised folk magic for alluring charms and love potions, were persecuted for their knowledge as witches. The female witch is so associated with green that in The Wizard of Oz she was given green skin.

A contradictory colour


Green carries negative connotations such as poison, jealousy and envy: the green-eyed monster. Greenwashing or green-sheening are terms for the promotion of dubious environmental products. In Green Sense a treatise that explores botanical aesthetics, cultural studies academic John Ryan argues the contradiction of green comes from it being the shade of growth and decomposition: both birth and death.

  • Part noun, part adjective, part adverb and part verb, we see green, and we can also shop, build, vote and think green.
  • We can feel green: during the Renaissance, he writes, being possessed by the passions was likened to wearing green spectacles.
  • Smith also contends that we can hear colours: to hear green would be to listen longingly, as we do to love songs.
  • Across the globe, there are calls for the growth of love.
  • ': how crime books embraced lurid green

Millions of older people don’t get enough nutrients – how to spot it and what to do about it

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 13, 2024

With this in mind, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has put “healthy ageing” on its agenda.

Key Points: 
  • With this in mind, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has put “healthy ageing” on its agenda.
  • However, there is a difference between energy requirements and nutrient requirements, and nutrient requirements actually remain the same, if not increase, as we get older.
  • This means we need to get more nutrients into less energy which can be tricky as older adults often have lower appetites.

How to spot when someone isn’t eating enough?

  • However, it affects five in ten older people living in nursing homes, and seven in ten older people in hospital.
  • And when older adults lose weight, they lose muscle, meaning that they are more likely to lose their abilities to do daily tasks.
  • But clothing that’s too loose or a watchstrap that floats on the wrist are all warning signs of undernourishment.

Getting more nutrients into less food

  • If people are eating small amounts of food, it is important to think about how to add more nutrients into it.
  • A very effective technique, “fortification” is commonly done with pre-made products such as breakfast cereals, plant-based milk and bread in the UK.
  • This versatile ingredient can be mixed into porridge before cooking or used it as a substitute for other powdered ingredients in baking.

Importance of physical activity and strength exercises


Physical activity and nutrition go hand-in-hand – both are equally important. As we age, being physically active becomes even more essential as it helps to prevent disease, maintains independence, decreases risk of falls, improves cognitive function, mental health and sleep.

  • Often strength training gets ignored when we think of being active but to keep independence and prevent falls, older adults should do varied physical activity that emphasises balance and strength training at moderate or greater intensity on three or more days a week.
  • Ultimately, it’s essential to contact a doctor or dietician with any worries or concerns about malnutrition or unintentional weight loss.

  • Continued research in this area will enable allergists to make shared decisions with patient families, identifying suitable candidates among children with FPIES for gradual home reintroduction of triggers at appropriate ages.
