light em up

Morning 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples. A friendly reminder that your head is a slave to your gut. The gut is a galaxy unto itself, containing nothing but marvel and miracle, a volcano at once of nutrients and primordial wisdom. It is almost unfathomable how central the gut is to everything bumping about in today’s discourse - from anxiety attacks and mental illness and ADHD to obesity and “magic fat pill” fairyland. Go with your gut is perhaps the most essential and yet most ignored piece of advice since stinking bits of slime crawled from the sea and shouted I Am Man.

☀️ Light up. It is crucial to expose your eyes and skin to sunlight for 15 minutes shortly after you wake up. This kickstarts your circadian biology, which returns you to a natural state of balance, resulting in eliminated eye strain, headaches, fatigue, bad mood, and low productivity. Sunlight is the opposite of the manmade blue light that we bathe in all day long (light bulbs, screens, TV). When indoors (especially in the evening), literally use candles, fire light, and red or orange bulbs. You will sleep like a newborn. 🍎Andrew's Take. An easy example of sunlight at work is when you get home after a day at the beach. How do you sleep that night? Exactly. Deep. This is one of the main reasons my days living in New York City are numbered. Despite the city’s sui generis qualities, it is decidedly anti-nature, with a small handful of parks that allow for stretches of unobstructed sun. The best recommendation I have heard is two hours of unfiltered daylight exposure per day.

🕊️ Tweet of the Day. Been thinking lately a lot about the carefree apex predator. Unbothered, unstressed, devil-may-care breeze of a man. The 1000 yard stare but remixed with a criminal smirk. Such an individual has no interest in looking smart. More often than not, the one asking the questions is in charge. And the one blathering toes the line between entertainer and clown.

How about them Apples? Hit me with any comments or questions or hate speech.
