What's the sperm count?

Issue #081

As you get older, you're less driven by your body. Y'know your hormones and your feelings. Instead you just have your interests. Anon.

GM 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the health email that your barefoot alternative doctor recommends once a day. Gimme 2 min. Let's go. 

  1. 💣 Primitive advice from Unabomber. In 1995, Ted Kaczynski (aka the Unabomber) submitted a 35,000 word essay to the Washington Post on the social ills of the day. He called it his manifesto. Was he a domestic terrorist? Yes. Is there some good shit in this manifesto? Yes. One line I like: "Everyone has goals; if nothing else, to obtain the physical necessities of life: food, water and whatever clothing and shelter are made necessary by the climate." Since today we all have 25+ apps on our phones to "live our lives," it's nice to be reminded that you really only need a few things to get by. The rest is just attitude, no cap.

  2. 🥽 What's the sperm count? Looks like we're swimming upstream and losing steam. Recent research found that sperm counts have dropped by half in the last four decades. Ideas why: your bathroom and your kitchen. Meaning: what you put on/in your body and what you eat/drink, namely unnatural beauty products and processed food. Other environmental factors: smoking, binge drinking, obesity, stress, phthalates (chemicals in plastics that lower T), and anything else that makes you go "yeeeeeah, this probably is not good." Lol! Could this be alarmism? Maybe. A bit hard to believe when it feels like the prominence of all aforementioned factors have increased over the past few decades...

  3. 🌞 Down these drugs. Love, water, sunlight, sleep, exercise, literature, stand up specials, films from the Criterion Collection, work, things that made you laugh 10 and 20 years ago, buying things your pretentious self might find "tacky", holding eye contact for 1 second longer than is comfortable, and, obviously, cinnamon nicotine gum. In moderation, sure, whatever gets you to sleep at night.

  4. 🕊️ Tweet of the Day. 😇😇😇😇
