Hot or cold showers?

GM 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the 2-min health email for those shooting toward serenity. A paradise park. Hot candle wax on your index finger-pad. OK, let's go.

🚿 Hot or cold showers? Evidently this is still something we are arguing about? Oh brother. The author brags "It was relatively easy at first. I stood in cold showers for five minutes at a time and emerged shivering and proud." Some studies claim cold showers can treat depression, increase availability of feel-good endorphins, and boost immune support. 🍎 Andrew's Take. Trying to solve any underlying physiological/psychological issue with but the temperature of your shower is like eating only pizza while bitching about which daily vitamin brand to take. Makes zero sense. As a man, the real reason you are sick (I will not define "sick", as you know what it means and can feel it in your bones) and low-energy has nothing to do with showers or supplements or even diet; it has everything to do with your consistent avoidance of conflict. No intensity. Nothing scary. Devoid of risk. That is what is causing your hormones to hide instead of help. As we have said before, hormones are closest thing to magic that exists in the human body. They can singlehandedly lift you to heaven and just as easily flush you to hell. But leave it to the nerds on health twitter to pat you on the back and tell you it's ok to retire your god-given spine so long as you wim-hof your way through a six minute cold plunge. Yikes!

👣 Bipedalism study. New research suggests that bipedalism (walking on two feet) was an adaptation for hanging out in trees, not on the ground. Ok...? What do we do with that information? Ummmmm hahaha. 🍎 Andrew's Take. Gotta love useless unproven information from the past instead of useful information for the present and therefore the future. Here is something useful: make the posterity proud. Do this by re-learning to climb trees like our chimp ancestors did. Also learn to master the ground: sprint, jog, skip, cartwheel, walk in super slomo, backpedal, lunge, shuffle. Movement is one of a small handful of doctors who charges nothing and pays handsomely.

🕊️ Tweet of the Day. When you travel deep enough into the holistic health rabbit-hole, you start to see some sick shit. For example, foregoing shampoo. Dude. Lol. No. Clean yourself. Use the best products you can find/afford, but this is not where your mental coins should be spent. Move on.

How about them Apples? Hit me with any comments or questions.
