According to his research, the best ways to avoid depression are to avoid anything that links to inflammation.

To avoid inflammation :

  • Exercice 30 minutes every single day

  • Eat a lot of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and mushrooms. Avoid inflammatory food such as processed meat or red meat.

  • Don’t smoke

    All the most useful health advice comes from thinly-disguised book ads posted by new accounts. Don’t smoke, move once in a while, sleep is good? Wow, revolutionary stuff, doc.

        I tried to look it up once and found a whole bunch of lists that contradicted each other. So I gave up.

        My mother in law is eating an “anti inflammation” diet because she thinks it will cure her arthritis and she’s severely underweight and definitely not healthy.

    Cambridge University is one of the world’s leading university.

    I liked this very much. Stopped reading right there.

      Science now has two outlets:

      • you can pay money to publish in a scientific journal and get critiqued by other scientists…

      • or you can get paid to publish on Amazon and get praised by idiots.

      Take a wild gander as to which this likely is.

    There’s a lot of physical activity in my job, I don’t drink coffee past 7 am, I don’t live in a city, i eat a healthy diet, i hardly drink, and whatever else was listed, and I still have anxiety even with meds. The only inflammation happening is in my consciousness of how fucked the world is and how fucking bleak the future looks. Once the world is fixed, then people can shed their anxiety and depression.

    Only “up to one third can be fixed by avoiding inflammation”

    So, he’s going to give almost the same advice as everyone else and not even help the other ~66%, and that’s “up to” so it could actually only fix less than that, he didn’t give a lower bound, could be less than 1%.

    “Doing these things that everyone already agrees are healthy could make you healthier!” The biggest non-story I have ever read. No shit I need to eat healthy food, exercise and get enough sleep. No fucking shit.

    Inflammation is measurable. Where are the studies correlating inflammation measured via whatever medical scans to depression diagnoses?

    An incomplete article if the studies exist and weren’t mentioned. A useless hypothesis if the guy is already authoring books but hasn’t done any studies yet.
