- Making your bed: Bad
Advertising is poison gas.
Good morning 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the health email for those who normally could take it or leave it. Two min. Let's go!
🛏️ Making your bed: Bad. There is a lot of shame these days about not making your bed. It's a military thing, it's a discipline thing, it's a get-a-win-first-thing-in-the-am thing. I get it. But evidence suggests that it may be the wrong thing to do. According to a manual for young men, written in 1906, a gentleman does not make his bed, but rather drape his bedding over the floorboard. This ensures the mattress and the blankets are exposed to the open air. Plus, this helps prevent dust mites (real study from 2005). Made bed = moist bed = live mites, and living mites poop in your bed, causing allergies and asthma. Open-aired bed = dry bed = dead mites or no mites at all. Your pick.
🍎 Andrew's Take. Yet another example of something catching on (in this case, in the athlete/discipline-addict corner of the internet) and nobody suggesting something as simple as, idk, the exact opposite. I wonder how well this applies to other things we do perfunctorily, like oral care, shampooing, body lotion, detergent...
🍯 Easy on the sauce. So there's this mystery condiment called Pink Sauce that blew up on TikTok. It comes in a plastic bottle with hot pink lettering. It's made mostly of sunflower seed oil, raw honey, vinegar, garlic, and milk. It is shipped unfrigerated. Backlash has begun as customers keep receiving exploded containers, spoiled product, and dinged up inner boxes.
🍎 Andrew's Take. This sounds disgusting and I am puzzled why people buy unchilled dairy products that are being shipped in 100*F summer heat. If ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce isn't enough for you and you must stoop to cartoonish online offerings, be my guest.
😀 Different day, new way. Saw some dude on twitter talking about how everything can change in a single day. Duh. But think about it. A business opportunity, a new love prospect, a random star of good news, an intellectual breakthrough, a different side to a good mood you've never seen... they can all change your perspective for the rest of your days. It usually happens in a single morning or afterno: it happens, you digest it, then you sit with it, then it's yours.
🍎 Andrew's Take. :))))))))
🕊️ Tweet of the Day. Plus, can't be a fun dad if you can't sprint after your little hellions and imps.
How about them Apples? Hit me with any comments or questions. Love hearing from you folks.
Your friend,
