Reminder to go touch grass

A scientist in Japan demonstrated that the air inside a forest strengthens your immune system for a full month

The study is incredibly fascinating:

Qing Li, an immunologist at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, took 12 men on a 3-day forest trip. These were slow walks with no breathing exercises and no set route.

Then he tested their blood and found a surge in natural killer cells -- the immune cells your body uses to fight cancer and virus-infected cells.

Remarkably, the effect didn't fade when they went home, it was still measurable 30 days later.

A control group that walked the same distance through a city showed no change at all.

Pine, cedar, and cypress trees release compounds called phytoncides to defend themselves from insects and bacteria. You breathe them in, and Li believes they switch your immune cells into high gear.

He estimates one forest walk a month may be enough to keep those cells elevated all year.

The best medicine might not even need a prescription -- just a walk among the trees.

NEW: Witness to the Jordan Neely subway death breaks silence with new details as she is calling Marine Daniel Penny a 'hero' for protecting her and other passengers.

"Mr. Penny cared for people. That’s what he did. That is his crime."

"It was self-defense, and I believe in my heart that he saved a lot of people that day that could have gotten hurt," the witness, a woman of color, told Fox News.

"I’m sitting on a train reading my book, and, all of a sudden, I hear someone spewing this rhetoric. He said, ‘I don’t care if I have to kill an F, I will. I’ll go to jail, I’ll take a bullet.’"

"I’m looking at where we are in the tube, in the sardine can, and I’m like, ‘OK, we’re in between stations. There’s nowhere we can go,’" she said. "The people on that train, we were scared. We were scared for our lives."

According to the witness, Neely jumped into action when he heard Neely's threat to kill passengers.

"Why in the world would you take a bullet? Why? You don’t take a bullet because you’ve snatched something from somebody’s hand. You take a bullet for violence."

Daniel Penny is a hero.

In 2015, Jordan Neely kidnapped a 7 year old girl

In 2019, Jordan Neely punched a 64 year old man in the face.

In 2021, Jordan Neely slugged a 67 year old woman in the face as she exited the subway, breaking her nose and fracturing her orbital bone.

Neely was arrested 44 times, but never faced real justice for terrorizing New Yorkers.

The @ManhattanDAshares responsibility for his death for creating an anti law enforcement culture.

Habitual felons like Neely should not roam freely to terrorize & prey on innocent members of our communities.
