- Phones are really heavy
My mother used to always say: The smarter you are, the stupider you are.
Good morning 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the health newsletter that's like your smart attractive classy friend with an unassuming wrist tattoo who just... gets it. Two minutes. Let's go!
📱 Phones are really heavy. It's gotten a lot worse in the last decade or so. Your wrists are in danger! The ergonomically correct way(s) to use your smartphone is either (a) lying it flat on a table while you peck the screen or (b) hold with one hand and peck-text with the other. However you hold your phone right now is likely wrong and your wrists hurt as a result.
🍎 Andrew's Take. The flex of the month is seeing someone strolling on the sidewalk with their phone nowhere to be seen. Tiny corded earphones plugged into a back-pocketed phone is a close second. Behave accordingly.
🕶️ Stop working at 5:30pm. Try this for one day, then one week. Per Cal Newport's book, Deep Work, studies demonstrate that ending work at a defined and reasonable hour (by American standards) can dramatically reduce stress.
🍎 Andrew's Take. The sun is still out. Leave the apartment like a God. A sun God.
🧴 Nah: hormone-disrupting chemicals. EDCs (endocrine-disrupting chemicals) interfere with development, reproduction, brain functioning, metabolism, satiety and immune system function. In two words: not good. Where are they most commonly found? Personal care products, plastic water bottles, canned and packaged foods, nonorganic produce/meat/poultry/dairy products, high-mercury fish, and more. Filter your water, use Dr. Bronner's for care products, buy food/drink in glass when possible, and opt for organic groceries.
🍎 Andrew's Take. This quickly crosses into psycho-rich-mom territory... no need for that (but if you've got the time, by all means!). Overall, drink lots of pure water out of glass/Hydroflask and eaaaaasy it with the processed foods. That will get you 80% there. The rest is just gravy.
🕊️ Tweet of the Day. Y'all two should not be on a first-name basis. A good ole warm but distant "Hey Doc" will do the job.
How about dem Apples? Love hearing from the readers.
Your friend,
Andrew🍎
