Reply to comment by Rich1926 in [OC] Top 15 cities with the highest population density by giteam
Yes, it's one of the 5 boroughs of New York City. I think they were just focusing on that borough because it puts it in a higher population density bracket when compared with the other boroughs, which are less dense.

Reply to A single session of exercise or yoga and meditation has positive consequences for those hospitalized for depression by thebelsnickle1991
The hardest thing to overcome with exercise research is the lack of a placebo control. i like that they showed dcreases in inflammatory markers in this study.
I worked in a psych hospital for a few years in the early 1990s, on a locked unit. It was a private hospital and about as nice as one could hope for. So it wasn't an underfunded state hospital. In retrospect, I just realized that they had zero opportunities for patients to exercise. There was a courtyard for getting fresh air, but it was too small to do any walking. So not only were there no opportunities (any kind of a gym, place for walking/running), the unit did not even physically allow for exercise in those who would want to.

Reply to Why do books about building self esteem/good habits end up making me an asshole egoist ? by a_human_21
That's a common issue with self-esteem training, a prominent downside.
Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff is an excellent antidote to this.
Books that are about more well-rounded development of character strengths and virtues (positive psychology) tend to be better. There's some thought towards altruism, the greater good, feeling like part of something greater (secular or religious), etc. Self-esteem books are narrow in scope.

Natural environments reduce emotional distress. Chronic stress increases inflammation, and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

Also chronic stress and inflammation. Many dementias seem to have an inflammation component to the neurodegeneration.

it’s exposure to pollution. At least one study controlled for socioeconomic status and showed the relationship persisted.

In principle, a ketogenic diet keeps insulin levels steady and low, minimizing insulin resistance. People do ingest some carbohydrate (low glycemic load) and the body does produce some glucose via gluconeogenesis.
