Different day. A new way.
Good morning 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the health email that's like your smart attractive classy friend with an unassuming wrist tattoo who just... gets it. Two minutes. Let's go!
😴 Sleep to lose weight. Levels dropped a banger on sleep and how weight loss is more than just calories in and out (although calories in/out still remains the top dog).
🍎 Andrew's Take. Simple shit: 7+ hours, try to sleep and wake at consistent times, don't eat close to bedtime, cool room, and make it dark. Very dark.
🎃 Sunday scaries. The "Sunday scaries" are defined as feelings of intense anxiety and dread that routinely occur every Sunday. It is firmly planted into the American lexicon, first coined in the early 2010s.
🍎 Andrew's Take. What does it say about society, its ills, modern anxiety, and how much most people hate their fucking jobs that we have a mainstream term (and probably multi-billion dollar t-shirt and sock industry) for this? Me, for my money? I'd prefer a $35 graphic tee that simply says "Talk to the hand ✋"
💪 Protein poverty. Dr. Peter Attia talks about how the recommended daily allowances for protein (courtesy of the same genius gov bodies that designed the school lunch pyramid or said the vaccines/boosties are "100%!" efficacious) of 0.4g/lb of bodyweight should rather be closer to 1.0g/lb. That's a 2.5x increase. Which is a lot. Most likely this means that you are not getting enough protein, period.
🍎 Andrew's Take. Pastured eggs, nuts, salmon, steak. Middle-aged moms are the worst at this... low protein intake, atrophying of muscle mass, and virtually no strength training. Skinny arms will always be hot, but toned skinny arms are HEEEEEAT!
🕊️ Tweet of the Day. Calories in = info. Calories out = doing something interesting with that info. Write, speak, move, anything. I used to date someone whose best friend was juggling 15+ shows at once. This was "normal" I learned. Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, the works. This girl had programs buzzing in the background while she ate, worked, got dressed for the bars, napped. Sounds bananas, I know, but I'd wager that this is less uncommon than we think. Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park, argued that the hypothetical recreation of dinosaurs would stem from our insatiable "desire" to be entertained. Radio got boring when TV came along, and now we have TikTok, and next we'll have _____. Always leveling up, so we can forever delay the deafening scream of our own silence, serenity. I remember when AirPods were a flex two years ago, now corded earphones are a flex ((5G-fearing health nuts 🤝 Brooklyn radicals)), but now the biggest flex is walking around town without a phone in your hand.
How about them Apples? Hit me with any comments or questions.
Your friend,
Andrew🍎
