A sound living environment is connected with a Isound mind—and that's exactly what can make cities such tough places to live.

Getting out in the forest, enjoying the trees and nature, breathing in fresh, clear air—it sounds nice, doesn't it?
So it's no surprise, then, that multiple studies suggest getting out for a walk in the woods is good for your health. In ultra-urbanized Japan, there's even a word for it: shinrin-yoku, roughly translated as "forest bathing," which basically involves wandering through the woods and engaging in mindfulness. It sounds crazy, but it may significantly lower blood pressure, according to a 2011 study. And simply living near nature or in the countryside has also been shown to have health benefits.

On the flip side, residing in a city has been found to shift your amygdala (the brain area that processes stressful situations and dangerous circumstances) into overdrive. The only time that changes? City dwellers who live near forests have much healthier amygdalas, which indicates that they should be able to cope with stress better, according to a new study from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Germany.
The study was the first to look at the connection between the urban environment and how it can affect brain health. Another interesting factor: Living near forests extended benefits to all kinds of people, regardless of economic status and education level.
"Research on brain plasticity supports the assumption that the environment can shape brain structure and function," said study head author Simone Kühn, Ph.D., a researcher at the Center for Lifespan Psychology at the institute. "That is why we are interested in the environmental conditions that may have positive effects on brain development."

You don't have to flood Instagram with your gym pics, but sharing photographic evidence of your fitness devotion can be a strong motivator for keeping up with your weight-loss goals, says a new study.

Constantly taking selfies and posting them on social media sites has become like a regular, modern-day re-enactment of Narcissus gazing at his reflection in a pool of water.
And for the most part, we'd agree that snapping photos of your face ad nauseum is one of the most annoying things a guy can do on social media. But it turns out there's a selfie silver lining—and it's one you probably didn't see coming.
Sharing selfies of your weight-loss journey may actually help you keep up with your goals and consistently drop pounds, according to new research from American University.

In the study, researchers followed two online forums, or “virtual support communities,” focused on weight loss. Ultimately, they found that when people shared photographic evidence of their progress with others committed to similar weight loss goals—regardless of whether that update was a success or a setback—the selfie-sharers were more likely to stay motivated and accountable.
"Sharing intimate information and photos about weight loss goals in virtual space is a key factor in motivating behaviors that fulfill that new, thinner identity, and thus helps people reach their goals,” said Sonya A. Grier, Ph.D., an author on the study. "Not everyone can get the support they need from the people they interact with in-person on a daily basis. It is helpful that technology can support community-building and goal-achievement in virtual spaces."
But before you whip out your phone to nab a quick selfie the next time you hit the gym, remember that while it may be helpful when it comes to hitting your weight loss goals and boosting confidence, doing it in a douchey way can still be a huge turnoff to, y'know, pretty much everyone.
You already know that sprint intervalscan burn fat fast (seven times faster than steady-state cardio), but with just a few rounds of hill sprints you can incinerate fat in the time it takes to lace up your shoes. We asked strength coach and author Jason Ferruggia to let us in on his favorite conditioning tool.

“Hill sprints are safer on your legs because of the angle of your body and the shorter stride,” Ferruggia says. There’s also greater loading going uphill, and your lower body and arms learn to contract faster. Don’t worry about lactic acid, either. Increasing training volume by 10–20% per week will improve your lactate threshold, researchers say. Hill sprints have been used by some of the best athletes in the world. NFL Hall of Famer Walter Payton’s motto: “You’ve got to beat [the hill].”
If you’re a football fan, it’s easy to spend the entire season eating like an offensive lineman. 
The classic beer and brats routine, however, will eventually take its toll on your health—and your gut.
So change things up once in a while with food that’s festive, flavorful, and, yes, even good for you (we're sure the guys at the tailgate won't notice). After all, a few simple and seamless swaps will turn a heart-stopper into a diet-friendly meal.
1. Healthy turkey sloppy Joe sliders

The ground beef in your typical slider contains more fat than a small Banana Split Blizzard from Dairy Queen. So to lighten things up—without losing flavor—sub out the ground beef and sub in lean ground turkey. This'll cut about half the calories, a quarter of the fat, and dish you even more protein.
2. Boneless Buffalo wings

A single deep-fried chicken wing has 160 calories—not counting the buttery hot sauce—so a quick dozen has almost as many calories as an entire cheese pizza. But to make them easier on your gut, go with pan-fried white-meat chicken tenders instead.
3. Greek yogurt blue cheese dip

A single ounce of blue cheese dip contains 150 calories and 14g of fat. So even if the only thing you ate pregame was celery sticks dipped in it, you’d still need to run for half an hour just to burn it off.

For a healthier version, simply use Greek yogurt as your base instead of mayo, and add a little crumbled blue cheese, cayenne pepper, and a few dashes from a trusty bottle of Frank’s RedHot.
4. Greek deviled eggs

Four regular deviled eggs have about as much mayo as a turkey sandwich. But deviled eggs are all about that delicious yolk, so keep that, but replace the mayo with Greek yogurt. You won’t really notice the difference in flavor, but you will cut calories by a third.
5. Baked sweet potato fries

Compared with regular fries, sweet potato fries appear to be much healthier. But except for sweet potatoes’ extra vitamin C, A, and lower glycemic rating, the two are nutritionally very similar.
So for the healthiest cooking option, always bake instead of frying. You’ll cut fat by at least 50% and reduce calories by a third.

A new poll reveals how Americans feel about shacking up with hyper-sexualized robots, if they'd consider it intercourse, and if it would count as cheating.

Ian Pearson, Sc.D.—a futurist who touts his ability to make predictions with an 85% accuracy record—has made an estimate that, by 2050, we'll be boinking robots. And it'll be totally normal. In fact, it'll be more common than having sex with, y'know, other humans.

To put the theory to somewhat of a test, YouGov Omnibus, a service that conducts reliable and accurate omnibus research, polled Americans on the idea of having coitus with hyper-sexualized robots.
Overall, about 49% of Americans agree that having sex with robots will become commonplace in the next 50 years. But not everyone's on board with coitus ex machina.
As you might've expected, men are more open to the idea. One in four men, or about 24%, said they'd consider having an automaton lover. Only 9% of women said they'd get down and dirty with a robot.
For those who are into it, appearance is absolutely pivotal. Roughly 52% of those who'd get frisky with a bot said they'd want it to look like a human (think: Alicia Vikander in Ex Machina).
But does it count as sex? Just 14% of U.S. adults consider it intercourse, 33% compare it to masturbation, and 27% can't categorize it as either.
How it plays into infidelity is another area of debate: 36% of women and 29% of men felt it counts as cheating, while 29% of women and 37% of men said it shouldn't (arguing that it's almost like using a sex toy).
And while some people express the implicit fear of letting a robot—one that could potentially be hijacked and reprogrammed for violence—near their junk (broken penises are very real, and very painful), 42% of Americans said they see sex with a robot being safer than hooking up with a human stranger. We can't really argue that. Superbug gonorrhea, man...

2-1 defeat at Watford on Saturday saw Arsenal fall further behind in the title race, with Manchester City now nine points ahead.
And the manner of the loss, having led for much of the match, has caused fresh discontent among disgruntled fans.
Yet, The Sun's chief northern football writer Neil Custis told the Sunday Supplement that Arsenal hierarchy do not share the fans' view that the Gunners must lift their game, with them believing league success isn't completely necessary to ensure the club remains a success.

"You get the feeling with Arsenal, not with the fans, that there is an air at the club that it doesn't really matter if they win the league or not," Custis said. "It just doesn't seem to matter to the people that really matter at Arsenal - and I think that filters down to the players.
"I know we are sick of the 'will Wenger stay of go' talk, but the very fact that it is discussed is detrimental to the side."
The Daily Mail's Martin Samuel agreed and insisted that owner Stan Kroenke is part of the problem.
"You look at Kroenke's franchises in America - they are not greatly successful," Samuel said. "America has this way of making these owners very rich, without having to win things. Kroenke comes from that background.
"It is very easy to look at all the money from the Premier League, and they are part of that big six now that are trying to get even more money from overseas rights.
"They are looking at it thinking why try to win the league when we can tick along nicely as a business and we don't have to risk anything. At the top, it hasn't set in with Wenger, but the people who own the club look at it in a different way and know they can still make a lot of money without winning the league."

Let me tell you a secret: Squats and lunges are not the magic ingredients for getting a better butt. Yes, they're both *great* lower-body exercises that recruit tons of muscles, but they aren't the be-all and end-all of boosting your glutes. That's great news if you have knee pain, because you can do all these booty-blasting moves without worrying about bugging your knees. (Must-read: 4 Reasons Why You Have Pain Behind Your Knee)
Just follow along with celeb trainer Jeanette Jenkins of the Hollywood Trainer Club for the ultimate butt workout that you can do if you have knee pain—or just want to build muscle in that booty. (Want to spread the burn beyond the booty? Try Jeanette's total-body toning dumbbell workout too.)
How it works: Do each move for the number of reps indicated and then repeat the circuit two to three times. Watch the video for full move demos and form tips from Jeanette.
