ce skating, chocolate making, and
dinner in a 15th-century cellar; as always, the Medical News Today annual winter party was an event to
remember. But it wasn't the activities that made our party special. It was the
company.
The MNT team had a fabulous dinner
in a 15th-century cellar for the annual winter party.
Life
can be chaotic at times, and it can be easy to lose sight of the things that
are most important, particularly during the holidays.
We
become so focused on meeting those work deadlines before the end of the year,
what gift to get Aunt Carol, or whether there'll really be time to make those holiday cookies.
Early
last week, I started to get caught up in the holiday whirlwind. A friend
reminded me of a lyric in a John Lennon song:
"Life is what happens to you
while you're busy making other plans."
This
is a simple line, but a stark reminder to live in the here and now and
appreciate each moment.
As
I entered the MNT editorial
office the next morning, I took a minute to look around at the team. I couldn't
help but smile. This isn't just an office full of writers and editors. It's an
office full of friends who genuinely care for each other.
Importantly,
we care for you, our
readers, and we work together every day to create the best possible health
content.
Our
winter party was brimming with laughter, joy, and gratitude for one another. It
was the perfect way to celebrate MNT's
successes in 2018.
This
year has seen MNT become
one of the top five health information sites in the United States. In
September, more than 39 million of you came to the site, the largest number of
unique visitors in MNT's
history.
We
introduced a number of new processes in 2018 to ensure that we continue to
provide reliable and authoritative content, and there will certainly be more of
this in 2019.
Speaking
of 2019, it seems that you're keen to improve your health for the year ahead.
This month, you were interested in which foods
and drinks can help protect the liver, as well as whether
cardio or weightlifting is best for burning calories.
Our
article on female
ejaculation also proved popular in December, as did our article
on how to tell
if you have high blood pressure.
Within
our news content, our story on how cancer cells
could be destroyed with a diabetes and hypertension drug combination piqued
your curiosity, and you were interested in learning how cystic
fibrosis drugs could help treat celiac disease.

Happy holidays from all of the team here at MNT! Enjoy every moment.
