Punched in the face

Issue #029

G-Morgen 🦁

This is Andrew's Apples, a small white bag of four fresh *fruits* to nourish your soul and make you feel great. Like if your sweet grandma was also jacked. All in under 2 minutes. Let's go picking. 

  1. 👊 Punched in the face. This tweet. Something invariably happens on your road to a clean diet or to less belly fat, especially when you near an important milestone: you get clotheslined to the floor. The trick is to not blame the clothesline (or the windy weather), but to take ownership that you hung it up. Simply the cost of keeping your threads dry and crisp.

  2. 😓 Under the stress. Clinical nutritionist Dr. Robert A. Rakowski says the top 3 causes of disease are stress, malnutrition, and toxicity. The solutions (love, learning, motivation) are a daily practice of habit. Stress is a cancer that evaded the ever-loving Winnie and the bouncy Tigger (sure, Winnie could put down the honey and Tigger could read a book for once), but it ate poor Piglet.

  3. 🥑 Avocadope boy magic. A sunny symbol of health, avocados weren't even on the map when I was a youngling in the late 90s feasting on Gushers and Gogurt. Now they are the map, whether they're found in bins of guacamole at Chipotle or running you $6/pop at some Greenwich "street market." A new 30-year study found that the hype seems real: "Higher avocado intake was associated with lower risk of CVD and coronary heart disease..." The dose? One avocado a week. This puts avocados in the same "good fat" camp as nuts and olive oil. As you wish, Yung Joc.

  4. 🧖‍♀️ Have you no spine?! Behold the spine roller. This little wheeled gem has been around for decades and does not get the love it deserves (overlooked by its evil and less effective rival, the foam roller). Lie on the spine roller for 15 minutes, either before training or just because: it frees up soft-tissue structures, which optimize nerve condition and aids in adding weight to many exercises. Hat-tip to Poliquin, who himself hat-tipped holistic health legend Paul Chek.

How do you like them Apples? Suggestions? Hate me? If you ever need anything, hit reply. 

Your friend,
