    1. Food is veryimportant in Filipino culture and symbolizes sharingand reciprocity. 26-28 Relationships are reestablishedthrough food. Food is always served to guests; to noteat the host’s food is to reject these social ties, or com-paradizo. To refuse food, even for health reasons, hasimplications for the quality of the food served andbrings shame on the person offering it.

      refusing food is equivalent to refusing a gift

    2. A 70-year-old man described a2-part process: he addressed issues of regaining bal-ance first, and then described a period of analysis:“I just calm myself. I don’t pay attention to my sick-ness. I don’t feed it with concern. I just relax, and thenit goes away. You just have to ignore it. Afterwards youhave to think about what kind of medicine you willtake. Why did it happen? Of course, you can sort ofthink about what will get rid of it.

      achieve balance, then consider action

    3. The signs thatrespondents described were not necessarily widely heldsymptoms of a particular health condition but could behighly idiosyncratic. For example, one 75-year-old mansaid, “When my high blood pressure acts up, it’s likemy body stiffens. I feel like my tongue swells up, andthen I have to take my medicine right away. Last nightI was like that. I guess it’s because my pressure went upagain.

    4. Semistructured hour-longinterviews addressed interpretations of illness, self-carepractices, and use of and access to health care. Inter-views were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim.Respondents were interviewed in their language ofchoice, either Tagalog or English. With the exceptionof 2 respondents who were interviewed in English,respondents were interviewed in Tagalog by a fluentTagalog speaker.

    1. When it comes to your healthcare, most people think that their only options are to pay for expensive Health Insurance or try out your luck being uninsured. The great news is that you have a third option; You can join a Health Share plan that is affordable and meets your needs! Health Sharing programs are one of the most effective and affordable alternatives to Health Insurance.  If you don’t know what a Health Share is, you can start here to learn how it works and why it’s a great alternative to health insurance. If you are looking for affordable healthcare, I highly recommend checking out my article about the Best Health Share Plans.
    2. Private Healthcare Systems (PHCS), and their associated MultiPlan networks, represent two key aspects that one must grasp in order to take full advantage of their health insurance benefits. But, what exactly are PHCS and MultiPlan networks, and how do they work? This guide aims to provide comprehensive insights into these healthcare structures. What is PHCS? Private Healthcare Systems, or PHCS, is one of the largest preferred provider organizations (PPOs) in the United States. A PPO is a type of health insurance arrangement where the insurance company has contracts with a network of “preferred” providers. In this context, PHCS forms contracts with doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers, who then agree to provide their services at reduced rates for patients covered by PHCS health insurance. Understanding MultiPlan Networks MultiPlan Network is a comprehensive group of healthcare providers that have agreed to offer discounted rates for services to insured individuals. It’s one of the oldest and most expansive independent PPO networks in the U.S., serving over 60 million people. PHCS became part of the MultiPlan network in 2006. This means that if your insurance uses the PHCS or MultiPlan network, you have access to these discounted rates when you use a provider within this network.

    1. Therapy speak is the incorrect use of jargon from psychology, especially jargon related to psychotherapy and mental health.[1] It tends to be linguistically prescriptive and formal in tone.[2] Therapy speak is related to psychobabble and buzzwords.[3][4][5] It is vulnerable to miscommunication and relationship damage as a result of the speaker not fully understanding the terms they are using, as well as using the words in a weaponized or abusive manner.[4][6] Therapy speak is not generally used by therapists during psychotherapy sessions.

    1. Is sauna worth the hype?
      • Sauna use induces mild heat stress, activating natural repair processes in the body such as heat shock proteins, improved blood flow, antioxidant activity, metabolism optimization, reduced inflammation, and enhanced immunity, all contributing to whole-body health benefits.

      • Regular sauna sessions (4–7 times/week, at least 19 minutes) are strongly associated with improved heart health, significantly lowering the risk of heart disease (by up to 48%) and high blood pressure (by up to 47%).

      • Mental health benefits include better sleep (over 80% report improvement), reduced muscle pain, improved mood, and a lower risk of dementia (up to 48% reduction) and psychotic disorders (up to 77% reduction) with frequent use.

      • Sauna use reduces systemic inflammation, with frequent sessions leading to up to 31.5% lower inflammation markers and easing symptoms of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

      • Metabolic improvements include decreased bad cholesterol (LDL), transiently lower triglycerides, and small increases in good cholesterol (HDL); some studies show increased muscle mass and bone density after intensive sauna protocols.

      • Saunas may aid detoxification by promoting sweat-induced elimination of heavy metals and environmental toxins, with longer sessions (15–20+ minutes) enhancing this effect.

      • Frequent sauna use is linked to increased longevity, with studies showing up to 40% lower all-cause mortality and up to 70% lower risk of dying from heart disease for those using saunas 4–7 times per week.

      • Bryan Johnson’s personal protocol involves daily 20-minute dry sauna sessions at 93°C (200°F), with hydration and protective measures, and he tracks various biomarkers to measure health impacts.

      • Recommended sauna practice: 3–5 sessions per week, 15–20 minutes each at 80–90°C (175–194°F), ideally post-workout; always hydrate and avoid sauna use if dehydrated, unwell, or with certain medical conditions.

      • Results from Bryan Johnson’s ongoing self-experimentation are forthcoming, but current evidence supports sauna as a promising intervention for detox, longevity, and overall health.

    1. Die Studie des Potsdam-Instituts für Klimafolgenforschung zeigt, dass Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) theoretisch bis 2050 jährlich 7,5 Milliarden Tonnen CO₂ entfernen könnte. Allerdings würde dies die planetaren Belastungsgrenzen stark überschreiten, insbesondere in Bezug auf Stickstoffeintrag, Süßwasserverbrauch, Entwaldung und Biosphärenintegrität. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Grenzen reduziert sich das Potenzial auf nur 200 Millionen Tonnen CO₂ jährlich. Die Studie betont die Notwendigkeit, neben der CO₂-Bilanz auch andere ökologische Faktoren zu berücksichtigen und schlägt vor, durch weniger Fleischkonsum Flächen für Klimaplantagen freizumachen.

    1. Brak ruchu skraca życie o kilka lat! Tadeusz Oleszczuk [Sekrety Długowieczności]
      • 🦶 10,000 steps a day is the minimum<br /> Regular physical activity, even in the form of a 15–30 minute walk daily, can extend life by 3–5 years. The exact number of steps doesn't matter—what counts is consistent movement.

      • 🔁 Day of effort, day of rest<br /> Daily intense exercise, such as running 10 km, can lead to physiological stress. A recommended rhythm is one day of activity followed by one day of recovery, which supports the creation of new mitochondria.

      • 🌬️ What happens during the break<br /> On the rest day, the body prepares for the next activity: it creates mitochondria, replenishes energy, and regenerates cellular structures.

      • 🧠 Physical activity affects the brain and hormones<br /> Movement reduces cortisol, which increases levels of testosterone and estrogen. This influences libido and overall mood.

      • 💧 Hydration is essential<br /> Activity increases water loss—you should drink at least 1.5–2.5 liters of water daily. Avoid dehydration caused by coffee, alcohol, and tea.

      • 🌲 Best activity is outdoors<br /> Walking in the forest is more beneficial than exercising in the city—better microbiota, fewer toxins, and cleaner air.

      📊 Insights Based on Numbers

      • 🚶‍♀️ 15-minute walk daily = +3 years of life
      • 🏃‍♂️ 30 minutes daily = +5 years of life
      • 💧 Body loses about 2.5 liters of water daily through sweat, breath, and urine
      • 🏃‍♂️ 4 km walk to and from work = full daily dose of activity
    1. Alarmujące dane. Poznaliśmy średnie BMI Polaków
      • Average BMI in Poland: The average BMI of Poles is 26.33, which falls into the overweight category (BMI ≥ 25). Approximately 60% of Poles are classified as overweight.
      • Comparison with Hungary: Poland and Hungary have the highest proportion of overweight individuals in Europe.
      • Physical Activity in Poland:
        • Poland ranks second to last in Europe regarding physical activity levels.
        • Over one-third of Poles hardly engage in sports.
        • The average number of weekly physical activities has dropped from 3 to 2.7, the second-lowest in Europe (Hungary ranks lowest at 2.4).
      • BMI Trends in Europe: In the past decade, BMI has increased across most European countries.
      • Countries with the Fewest Overweight Issues: Switzerland, Austria, France, and Italy have the lowest prevalence of overweight individuals.
    1. Der neue Planetary Health Check des Potsdam Instituts für Klimafolgenforschung ergibt, dass durch die Versauerung der Ozeane möglicherweise gerade die siebte von 9 planetaren Grenzen durchbrochen wird und die Biosphäre auch hier in eine Hochrisikozone eintritt. Bei allen anderen mit Ausnahme des Ozonschwunds haben sich die Bedingungen verschlechtert. Die CO2- Emissionen treiben die Versauerung an, die wiederum die Fähigkeit der Ozeane mindert, als CO2-Senke zu wirken. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/sep/23/earth-breach-planetary-boundaries-health-check-oceans

      I wonder how this compares to the breaking down of ethanol and the toll it takes on the human body. (Hangover, upset stomach, excessive sweating, dehydration, etc.) Is it worth exploring the gut health benefits of red wine, when foods like yogurt and kombucha have been proved to provide these same benefits?

    1. Überblicksartikel von 2019 zu den Angriffen auf die Wissenschaft während der ersten Trump-Regierung und ihre kurz- und langfristigen Folgen. Forschungen zur Klimakrise und öffentlichen Gesundheit wurden behindert, weil sie den Interessen der fossilen Industrien schaden. Der Kampf gegen Foschung, die Interessen bestimmter Unternehmen und Branchen bedroht, ging aber weit über die Klimathematik hinaus und dient u.a. auch der Chemie- und Agroindustrien. Zu den Maßnahmen gehörten: - Beendigung von Forschungsprojekten - Abbau des Einflusses von Wissenschaftler:innen auf regulatorische Entscheidungen - Verhinderung von öffentlichen Stellungnahmen von Wissenschaftler:innen - Behinderung von Forschungen zum menschengemachten Klimawandel - Vorschreiben erwünschter Forschungsergebnisse - Overruling von Experten durch politische Funktionäre bei Begutachtungen und Regulierungen - Einstellungsstopps und Entlassungen - Entfernung bestimmter Wissenschaftler:innen aus Beratungsgremien - Verbot der Berücksichtigung bestimmter Wissenschaftstypen bei Regulierungen - Druck auf Forschende, unwissenschaftliche Aussagen des Präsidenten zu unterstützen - Schließung von Forschungszentren und -büros und Auflösung von Ausschüssen - Umsiedlungen von Behörden und Forschungseinrichtungen in unattraktive Gegenden

    1. Nach den Erfahrungen mit den Angriffen der ersten Trump-Administration auf die Wissenschaft haben Wissenschaftler:innen in den USA verschiedene Maßnahmen zum Schutz wissenschaftlicher Institutionen ergriffen. Die New York TImes berichtet ausführlich über diese scientific integrity policies, die wissenschaftliche Arbeit öffentlich beobachtbar machen, aber politische Einflussnahme ausschließen sollen. Die Biden- und schon die Obama-Administration haben scientific integrity policies gefördert. Zu den Maßnahmen gehören die Benennung von Verantwortlichen für wissenschaftliche Integrität in Behörden und Kollektivverträge, die die Disziplinierung von Forschenden erschweren.

      Zum „War on Science“ schon der ersten Trump-Regierung gehörte außer Entlassungen von Wissenschaftler:innen auch die Anordnung der Verfälschung von Forschungsergebnissen. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/climate/trump-government-scientists.html

    1. Zaskakujące odkrycie naukowców: Jak szybki chód działa na zdrowie metaboliczne?

      Participants were asked: "Is your walking speed faster than people of your gender and age?" Based on their answers, they were categorized as "fast walkers" or "slow walkers."

      The study included:

      • 8,578 obese individuals,
      • 9,626 individuals with a large waist circumference,
      • 6,742 individuals meeting both criteria.

      Summary:

      • Overweight individuals who perceive their walking speed as fast have a 30% lower risk of diabetes, along with reduced risks of hypertension and dyslipidemia.
      • Subjective assessment of walking speed can serve as a simple and cost-effective tool to identify metabolic health risks.
      • Fast walking indicates the good condition of muscles, joints, and the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
      • Previous research has linked slow walking speed to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and higher mortality rates in older adults.

    1. Design, Setting, and Participants  In a population-based registry study, data on all Finnish citizens born between January 1, 1985, and December 31, 1997, whose demographic, health, and school information were linked from nationwide registers were included. Cohort members were followed up from August 1 in the year they completed ninth grade (approximately aged 16 years) until a diagnosis of mental disorder, emigration, death, or December 31, 2019, whichever occurred first. Data analysis was performed from May 15, 2023, to February 8, 2024.

      Mental disorders are indirectly contagious – i.e. negative emotional and behavioral patterns that cause illness are transferred even to friends of people with disorders, a study in Finland involving 700,000 people has shown.

      The data showed that having friends diagnosed with mental disorders in the 9th grade of secondary school increased the risk of developing mental disorders later in life, such as mood swings, anxiety and eating disorders, by up to 18%.

      Summary - This is an extremely important paper with a startling conclusion of the magnitude of the social and economic impacts of the biodiversity disruption coming down the pipeline - It is likely that very few governments are prepared to adapt to these levels of ecosystemic disruption - Climate departure is defined as an index of the year when: - The projected mean climate of a given location moves to a state that is - continuously outside the bounds of historical variability - Climate departure is projected to happen regardless of how aggressive our climate mitigation pathway - The business-as-usual (BAU) scenario in the study is RCP85 and leads to a global climate departure mean of 2047 (+/- 14 years s.d.) while - The more aggressive RCP45 scenario (which we are currently far from) leads to a global climate departure mean of 2069 (+/- 18 years s.d.) - So regardless of how aggressive we mitigate, we cannot avoid climate departure. - What consequences will this have on economies around the world? How will we adapt? - The world is not prepared for the vast ecosystem changes, which will reshape our entire economy all around the globe.

    1. we can produce what you can think of as a control room for the whole  planet, like a situation room for planet Earth, with nine global numbers and nine high  resolution maps based on satellite data, mapping all, basically measuring the planet,  and measuring against the safe boundaries. And that is urgently needed. We have the technologies, And we are  aiming to do that now. So, so we're, calling this the Planeter Boundary Health Check,  and that requires not only massive funding, but also partnerships around, around the world.

    1. working on the space shuttle that they have inherent mitochondrial 00:10:20 dysfunction just from the ambient radiation because they're not protected by the Earth's atmosphere so can you imagine what's going to happen on a Mars mission 00:10:32 there'll be lucky they can crawl out of the capsule when they get back home because their mitochondria going to be so dysfunctional

      for - health - mitochondrial dysfunction - radiation - radiation in space causes mitochondrial dysfunction

    2. the question is why are the mitochondria not doing their job why is the self not responding to insulin 00:05:34 that's the issue different tissues different reasons but the main one is the liver

      for - question - health - insulin resistance - why aren't mitochondria within cells not responding to insulin?

      question - health - insulin resistance - why aren't mitochondria within cells not responding to insulin? - The fat cells are being stored in the liver, resulting in - fatty liver disease - The liver stores the fat cells floating in blood (triglycerides) then recirculates it back to the cells. - The cells and liver are caught up in a vicious cycle of "hot potatos" with the fat cells.<br /> - (See Stanford explainer video above)

      summary - Robert Lustig is a researcher and major proponent for educating the dangers of sugar as the root cause of the majority of preventable western disease - He explains how sugar and carbs are a major variable and root cause of a majority of these diseases - It is useful to look at these bodily dysfunctions from the perspective of Michael Levin, in which all these diseases of the body are problems with lower levels of the multi-scale competency architecture - https://jonudell.info/h/facet/?max=100&expanded=true&user=stopresetgo&exactTagSearch=true&any=michael+levin%2C+multi-scale+competency+architecture

    1. but as the situation continues it may require more and more and more insulin to get the same amount 00:02:40 of glucose into the cells

      for - key insight - health - insulin resistance

      key insight - health - insulin resistance - This is the key to the mechanism by which insulin levels increase in the blood. - As our diet places higher levels of glucose in the blood, the pancreas responds by releasing more and more insulin to process this elevated level of insulin and the cells respond, - but the cells, especially surrounding the organs no longer store fat when a certain threshold of high insulin is reached - high amounts of visceral fat around the organs is then accompanied by fat being released by the cells into the blood stream, elevating triglyceride levels - The liver then starts to take this up and if there are now elevated trigycerides in the bloodstream, the liver and cells get locked into a vicious cycle of fat release

    1. when someone has an elevated fertin level you need to dig 00:33:27 into you know is their fertin elevated because they have elevated total body iron or do they have inflammation

      for - health - heart - ferritin marker

      health - heart - ferritin marker - If ferritin test shows high ferritin levels (abnormally high iron levels) it means swelling in the body, called inflammation. - Conditions that can cause inflammation include - liver disease, - rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions, - overactive thyroid - hyperthyroidism - https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/ferritin-test/about/pac-20384928#:~:text=If%20a%20ferritin%20test%20shows%20high%20ferritin%20levels%2C%20it%20most,and%20overactive%20thyroid%2C%20called%20hyperthyroidism.

    2. many of these patients had high lipids and high blood pressure and they were given beta 00:28:25 blockers and thide diuretics which as you know also have the same consequence as the statins do in in exacerbating insulin resistance

      for - health - heart - Beta-blocker/thiazide diuretic combos

      health - heart - Beta-blocker/thiazide diuretic combos - This combo lowers the blood pressure by - removing excess water and salt from the body and - slowing the heart rate. - These only mask the symptoms CAUSED BY INSULIN RESISTANCE

    3. you can take these medications you can expose yourself to the risk of the medications 00:26:57 or or you can change the way you eat you can deal with the true underlying problem insulin resistance

      for - health - heart - root cause of heart disease - lifestyle choices - dietary choice

      health - heart - root causes of heart disease - lifestyle choices - dietary choice - root cause of insulin resistance is poor diet with too much sugar and carbs and other variables such as excessive alcohol - dietary changes can shift lipid particles to large, fluffy LD particles - high sugar and carbs is a main factor leading to insulin resistance

    1. Very early one chilly morning in October 1895, Fielding Blandfordstepped into a horse-drawn carriage with Edith Lanchester’s father and twobrothers. The four men arrived at Edith’s rented lodgings in Battersea. Theywoke the whole house with heavy banging on the front door, and FieldingBlandford forced his way in to ‘examine’ Edith. He ordered that she be takento an asylum because she was committing ‘social suicide’ by insisting on livingwith her working-class lover without marrying him. He justified this byarguing that under the Lunacy Act 1890 he would have certified her had sheattempted (normal) suicide.

      Fascinating story of a kidnapping and committal of a woman in October 1895 for shacking up with a man she wasn't married to.

    1. The 4 (behavioral) keypoints for great physical and mental as well as cognitive health:

      One) (2:00-4:05) View sunlight early in the day. The light needs to reach the eyes--increasing alertness, mood, and focus, through certain receptors. Also increases sleep quality at night, according to Huberman. Ideally five to ten minutes on a clear day, and ten to twenty minutes on an overcast day. No sunglasses, and certainly not through windows and windshields. If no sun is out yet, use artificial bright light. Do this daily.

      Two) (4:05-6:10) Do physical exercise each and every day. Doesn't have to be super intense. Huberman recommends zone two cardiovascular exercise. Walking very fast, running, cycling, rowing, swimming are examples. He says to get at least between 150 and 200 minutes of this exercise per week. Some resistance training as well for longevity and wellbeing, increases metabolism as well. Do this at least every other day, according to Huberman. Huberman alternates each day between cardiovascular exercise and resistance training.

      Three) (6:20-9:10) People should have access to a rapid de-stress protocol or tools. This should be able to do quickly and instantly, without friction. You can just do one breath for destress. ( Deep long breath through nose, one quick breath in nose to completely fill the longs, and then breathe out through mouth long.)

      Four) (9:12-14:00) To have a deliberate rewiring nervous system protocol to use. A thing that can be done is NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest protocol), this is specifically to increase energy.

      Ideally the NSDR should be done after each learning session as well to imitate deep sleep (REM) and therefore accelerate neuroplasticity and thus rewire the nervous system; increasing the strength of connections between neurons and therefore increase retention significantly.

      NSDR is also a process of autonomity and control, it allows one to find that they are in control of their body and brain. It makes one realize that external factors don't necessarily have influence. According to Huberman, NSDR even replenishes dopamine when it is depleted, making it also suitable for increasing motivation.

    1. United States biomedical researchers and pharmaceutical companies are conducting and paying African doctors to conduct unethical and illegal testing of human subjects. Nonconsensual research on human subjects is an atrocity that occurred in Tuskegee, Alabama, and in Guatemala for over forty years. Once outlawed in the U.S., medical researchers began experimenting on thousands of human research subjects without their consent in Cameroon, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria, Uganda, South Africa, Zimbabwe and other African countries.

    1. He even offeredgrim warnings about children’s bowel movements, stressing the absolute needfor regularity. Regularity should not be achieved, however, at the expense ofdensity or compactness in the, ahem, product, for ‘People that are very loosehave seldom strong thoughts or strong bodies’ (p. 22, original emphasis).

      Locke stressed the need for regular bowel movements in children in his book Some Thoughts Concerning Education and presupposed a link between the looseness of one's stool and the weakness of their bodies. This seemed to be a moralism rather than a question of general health and eating habits which continued into even my own childhood.

    1. I came here looking for the glycemic index for bananas to see if this might explain a friends delayed reaction to consuming high amounts of salicylate. That is, the pain they experienced as a burn in the mouth/tongue only occurred after consuming a banana. A prior search tentatively suggested that spikes in insulin (which occur with foods high in glycemic index and glycemic load) can cause inflammation to the affected region which sends white blood cells as a response and can cause swelling and increased sensitivity to pain.

Unlike those made with gold, silver, brass, or copper, stainless steel tongue scrapers resist corrosion and are suitable for all mind-body types, or doshas, according to Dr. Deepak Chopra.  

      Stainless steel tongue scrapers seems to be the best

    1. four truths about how our solutions to these problems have problems of their own:We don’t see everything. Some of the information we filter out is actually useful and important.Our search for meaning can conjure illusions. We sometimes imagine details that were filled in by our assumptions, and construct meaning and stories that aren’t really there.Quick decisions can be seriously flawed. Some of the quick reactions and decisions we jump to are unfair, self-serving, and counter-productive.Our memory reinforces errors. Some of the stuff we remember for later just makes all of the above systems more biased, and more damaging to our thought processes.
    1. Zika virus as a cause of birth defects: Were the teratogenic effects of Zika virus missed for decades?

      Although it is not possible to prove definitively that ZIKV had teratogenic properties before 2013, several pieces of evidence support the hypothesis that its teratogenicity had been missed in the past. These findings emphasize the need for further investments in global surveillance for emerging infections and for birth defects so that infectious teratogens can be identified more expeditiously in the future.

    1. Indeed ‘anti-vaccination rumours’ have been defined as a major threat to achieving vaccine coverage goals. This is demonstrated in this paper through a case study of responses to the Global Polio Eradication Campaign (GPEI) in northern Nigeria where Muslim leaders ordered the boycott of the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV). A 16-month controversy resulted from their allegations that the vaccines were contaminated with anti-fertility substances and the HIV virus was a plot by Western governments to reduce Muslim populations worldwide.

    1. Summary: In people with normal vision (or corrected-to-normal vision), visual performance tends to be better with light mode, whereas some people with cataract and related disorders may perform better with dark mode. On the flip side, long-term reading in light mode may be associated with myopia.

      Dark mode vs light mode

    1. We analyzed URLs cited in Twitter messages before and after the temporary interruption of the vaccine development on September 9, 2020 to investigate the presence of low credibility and malicious information. We show that the halt of the AstraZeneca clinical trials prompted tweets that cast doubt, fear and vaccine opposition. We discovered a strong presence of URLs from low credibility or malicious websites, as classified by independent fact-checking organizations or identified by web hosting infrastructure features. Moreover, we identified what appears to be coordinated operations to artificially promote some of these URLs hosted on malicious websites.
    1. . Furthermore, our results add to the growing body of literature documenting—at least at this historical moment—the link between extreme right-wing ideology and misinformation8,14,24 (although, of course, factors other than ideology are also associated with misinformation sharing, such as polarization25 and inattention17,37).

      Misinformation exposure and extreme right-wing ideology appear associated in this report. Others find that it is partisanship that predicts susceptibility.

    2. And finally, at the individual level, we found that estimated ideological extremity was more strongly associated with following elites who made more false or inaccurate statements among users estimated to be conservatives compared to users estimated to be liberals. These results on political asymmetries are aligned with prior work on news-based misinformation sharing

      This suggests the misinformation sharing elites may influence whether followers become more extreme. There is little incentive not to stoke outrage as it improves engagement.

    1. Exposure to elite misinformation is associated with sharing news from lower-quality outlets and with conservative estimated ideology.

      Shown is the relationship between users’ misinformation-exposure scores and (a) the quality of the news outlets they shared content from, as rated by professional fact-checkers21, (b) the quality of the news outlets they shared content from, as rated by layperson crowds21, and (c) estimated political ideology, based on the ideology of the accounts they follow10. Small dots in the background show individual observations; large dots show the average value across bins of size 0.1, with size of dots proportional to the number of observations in each bin.

    1. We find that, during the pandemic, no-vax communities became more central in the country-specificdebates and their cross-border connections strengthened, revealing a global Twitter anti-vaccinationnetwork. U.S. users are central in this network, while Russian users also become net exporters ofmisinformation during vaccination roll-out. Interestingly, we find that Twitter’s content moderationefforts, and in particular the suspension of users following the January 6th U.S. Capitol attack, had aworldwide impact in reducing misinformation spread about vaccines. These findings may help publichealth institutions and social media platforms to mitigate the spread of health-related, low-credibleinformation by revealing vulnerable online communities
    1. We applied two scenarios to compare how these regular agents behave in the Twitter network, with and without malicious agents, to study how much influence malicious agents have on the general susceptibility of the regular users. To achieve this, we implemented a belief value system to measure how impressionable an agent is when encountering misinformation and how its behavior gets affected. The results indicated similar outcomes in the two scenarios as the affected belief value changed for these regular agents, exhibiting belief in the misinformation. Although the change in belief value occurred slowly, it had a profound effect when the malicious agents were present, as many more regular agents started believing in misinformation.

    1. we found that social bots played a bridge role in diffusion in the apparent directional topic like “Wuhan Lab”. Previous research also found that social bots play some intermediary roles between elites and everyday users regarding information flow [43]. In addition, verified Twitter accounts continue to be very influential and receive more retweets, whereas social bots retweet more tweets from other users. Studies have found that verified media accounts remain more central to disseminating information during controversial political events [75]. However, occasionally, even the verified accounts—including those of well-known public figures and elected officials—sent misleading tweets. This inspired us to investigate the validity of tweets from verified accounts in subsequent research. It is also essential to rely solely on science and evidence-based conclusions and avoid opinion-based narratives in a time of geopolitical conflict marked by hidden agendas, disinformation, and manipulation [76].
    2. There were 120,118 epidemy-related tweets in this study, and 34,935 Twitter accounts were detected as bot accounts by Botometer, accounting for 29%. In all, 82,688 Twitter accounts were human, accounting for 69%; 2495 accounts had no bot score detected.In social network analysis, degree centrality is an index to judge the importance of nodes in the network. The nodes in the social network graph represent users, and the edges between nodes represent the connections between users. Based on the network structure graph, we may determine which members of a group are more influential than others. In 1979, American professor Linton C. Freeman published an article titled “Centrality in social networks conceptual clarification“, on Social Networks, formally proposing the concept of degree centrality [69]. Degree centrality denotes the number of times a central node is retweeted by other nodes (or other indicators, only retweeted are involved in this study). Specifically, the higher the degree centrality is, the more influence a node has in its network. The measure of degree centrality includes in-degree and out-degree. Betweenness centrality is an index that describes the importance of a node by the number of shortest paths through it. Nodes with high betweenness centrality are in the “structural hole” position in the network [69]. This kind of account connects the group network lacking communication and can expand the dialogue space of different people. American sociologist Ronald S. Bert put forward the theory of a “structural hole” and said that if there is no direct connection between the other actors connected by an actor in the network, then the actor occupies the “structural hole” position and can obtain social capital through “intermediary opportunities”, thus having more advantages.
    3. We analyzed and visualized Twitter data during the prevalence of the Wuhan lab leak theory and discovered that 29% of the accounts participating in the discussion were social bots. We found evidence that social bots play an essential mediating role in communication networks. Although human accounts have a more direct influence on the information diffusion network, social bots have a more indirect influence. Unverified social bot accounts retweet more, and through multiple levels of diffusion, humans are vulnerable to messages manipulated by bots, driving the spread of unverified messages across social media. These findings show that limiting the use of social bots might be an effective method to minimize the spread of conspiracy theories and hate speech online.

    1. phytoncides, antibacterial and antimicrobial substances that trees and other plants release into the air to help them fight diseases and harmful organisms. When humans breathe in these substances—typically by spending time in nature—their health can improve. Across several studies, phytoncides have been shown to boost immune function, increase anticancer protein production, reduce stress hormones, improve mood, and help people relax. 

      I always feel better during and after a forest walk.

    1. The actual reward state is not one where you're lazing around doing nothing. It's one where you're keeping busy, where you're doing things that stimulate you, and where you're resting only a fraction of the time. The preferred ground state is not one where you have no activity to partake in, it's one where you're managing the streams of activity precisely, and moving through them at the right pace: not too fast, but also not too slow. For that would be boring

      Doing nothing at all is boring. When we "rest" we are actually just doing activities that we find interesting rather than those we find dull or stressful.

    2. the work that needs to be done is not a finite list of tasks, it is a neverending stream. Clothes are always getting worn down, food is always getting eaten, code is always in motion. The goal is not to finish all the work before you; for that is impossible. The goal is simply to move through the work. Instead of struggling to reach the end of the stream, simply focus on moving along it.

      This is true and worth remembering. It is very easy to fall into the mindset of "I'll rest when I'm finished"

    1. Goal SettingGoal setting was used by physiotherapists to activate and motivate patients, to determine what meaningful therapy would be for the patient and to set discharge limits (Leach, Cornwell, Fleming, and Haines, 2010Leach E, Cornwell P, Fleming J, Haines T 2010 Patient centered goal-setting in a subacute rehabilitation setting Disability and Rehabilitation 32: 159–172. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Pashley et al, 2010Pashley E, Powers A, McNamee N, Buivids R, Piccinin J, Gibson BE 2010 Discharge from outpatient orthopaedic physiotherapy: A qualitative descriptive study of physiotherapists’ practices Physiotherapy Canada 62: 224–234. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Rindflesch, 2009Rindflesch AB 2009 A grounded-theory investigation of patient education in physical therapy practice Physiotherapy Theory and Practice 25: 193–202. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Google Scholar]; Thomson, 2008Thomson D 2008 An ethnographic study of physiotherapists’ perceptions of their interactions with patients on a chronic pain unit Physiotherapy Theory and Practice 24: 408–422. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Google Scholar]). Goal setting seemed particular of physiotherapists’ interest, as patients did not spontaneously mention goal setting as important for patient-centered physiotherapy. Patient-centered physiotherapists, however, tried to allow the patients to define their own goals in collaboration (Larsson, Liljedahl, and Gard, 2010Larsson I, Liljedahl K, Gard G 2010 Physiotherapists’ experience of client participation in physiotherapy interventions: A phenomenographic study Advances in Physiotherapy 12: 217–223. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Google Scholar]; Pashley et al, 2010Pashley E, Powers A, McNamee N, Buivids R, Piccinin J, Gibson BE 2010 Discharge from outpatient orthopaedic physiotherapy: A qualitative descriptive study of physiotherapists’ practices Physiotherapy Canada 62: 224–234. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Thomson, 2008Thomson D 2008 An ethnographic study of physiotherapists’ perceptions of their interactions with patients on a chronic pain unit Physiotherapy Theory and Practice 24: 408–422. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Google Scholar]; Trede, 2000Trede FV 2000 Physiotherapists’ approaches to low back pain education Physiotherapy 86: 427–433. [Crossref], [Google Scholar]). This was done by facilitating them and guiding them, using education and dialogue to determine the patients’ goals (Larsson, Liljedahl, and Gard, 2010Larsson I, Liljedahl K, Gard G 2010 Physiotherapists’ experience of client participation in physiotherapy interventions: A phenomenographic study Advances in Physiotherapy 12: 217–223. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Google Scholar]; Leach, Cornwell, Fleming, and Haines, 2010Leach E, Cornwell P, Fleming J, Haines T 2010 Patient centered goal-setting in a subacute rehabilitation setting Disability and Rehabilitation 32: 159–172. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Rindflesch, 2009Rindflesch AB 2009 A grounded-theory investigation of patient education in physical therapy practice Physiotherapy Theory and Practice 25: 193–202. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Google Scholar]; Thomson, 2008Thomson D 2008 An ethnographic study of physiotherapists’ perceptions of their interactions with patients on a chronic pain unit Physiotherapy Theory and Practice 24: 408–422. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Google Scholar]; Trede, 2000Trede FV 2000 Physiotherapists’ approaches to low back pain education Physiotherapy 86: 427–433. [Crossref], [Google Scholar]). Goals were mostly created in collaboration between the physiotherapist and the patient (Leach, Cornwell, Fleming, and Haines, 2010Leach E, Cornwell P, Fleming J, Haines T 2010 Patient centered goal-setting in a subacute rehabilitation setting Disability and Rehabilitation 32: 159–172. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Trede, 2000Trede FV 2000 Physiotherapists’ approaches to low back pain education Physiotherapy 86: 427–433. [Crossref], [Google Scholar]). However, some physiotherapists made no or little mention of patient-centered goals (Pashley et al, 2010Pashley E, Powers A, McNamee N, Buivids R, Piccinin J, Gibson BE 2010 Discharge from outpatient orthopaedic physiotherapy: A qualitative descriptive study of physiotherapists’ practices Physiotherapy Canada 62: 224–234. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]).

      Interesting point that patients do not spontaneously mention goal setting. How does this impact on your understanding of what patients value? If you reframe or guide the conversation to explore goals, will the patient feel heard? or managed?

    2. Communicative abilities of a patient-centered physiotherapist meant being receptive to what the patient has to say, correctly interpreted, and giving explanations in a way patients understand (Fleiss and Cohen, 1973Fleiss JL, Cohen J 1973 The equivalence of weighted kappa and the intraclass correlation coefficient as measures of reliability Educational and Psychological Measurement 33: 613–619. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Trede, 2000Trede FV 2000 Physiotherapists’ approaches to low back pain education Physiotherapy 86: 427–433. [Crossref], [Google Scholar]). Purposefully changing communication styles depending on the patient (Hiller, Guillemin, and Delany, 2015Hiller A, Guillemin M, Delany C 2015 Exploring healthcare communication models in private physiotherapy practice Patient Education and Counseling 98: 1222–1228. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]). Having the ability to explain in lay terms, directly speaking to the patient, listening, and asking appropriate questions were of importance (Cooper, Smith, and Hancock, 2008Cooper K, Smith BH, Hancock E 2008 Patient-centredness in physiotherapy from the perspective of the chronic low back pain patient Physiotherapy 94: 244–252. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Kidd, Bond, and Bell, 2011Kidd MO, Bond CH, Bell ML 2011 Patients’ perspectives of patient-centredness as important in musculoskeletal physiotherapy interactions: A qualitative study Physiotherapy 97: 154–162. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Pashley et al, 2010Pashley E, Powers A, McNamee N, Buivids R, Piccinin J, Gibson BE 2010 Discharge from outpatient orthopaedic physiotherapy: A qualitative descriptive study of physiotherapists’ practices Physiotherapy Canada 62: 224–234. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Potter, Gordon, and Hamer, 2003Potter M, Gordon S, Hamer P 2003 The physiotherapy experience in private practice: The patients’ perspective Australian Journal of Physiotherapy 49: 195–202. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]).
