Super duper superfoods

GM 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the 2-min health email that is like getting health takes from a grinning Ferris Bueller. A little hiatus, I know. I have spent the past month doing some deeper work and eating lots of big blueberries. I am not dead. Only the past is. OK, let's go. 

🍳 Superfood superlist.  Superfoods are foods that not only contain key nutrients but also pack the more subtle polyphenols and phytonutrients. These "bonuses" add unique metabolic benefits and literally make you look and feel hotter (skin, nails, facial symmetry, stool, mood, sleep, sexual performance, and so on). Here they are: eggs, turmeric, blueberries, organ meat, salmon, cruciferous vegetables, beets, honey, kefir, Greek yogurt, ginger, garlic, and cacao. There are others but that is a nice bedrock with which to work. Gun to your head? Eat conventional varieties of these. Given a choice? Organic, local, no added sugar (biodynamic for the real autists out there). 🍎 Andrew's Take. By and large, if a large organization is pushing for a certain food group (fake meat, bugs and insects, fat free milk, processed food, to name a handful), run for the hills in the opposite direction. If that makes me a conspiracy theorist, then I am a conspiracy theorist. I'd rather lose friends over superfoods than be superfucked. Cheers! 

👴 Turning 30.  I have received many thoughts from friends, from family, and from myself about my turning 30. You feel different? Are you scared? Are you tired? Yes and yes and yes. But here are some things you do not always hear... partying in your 30s is way better (IYKYK); dancing and drinking still are the tools to get people going; you become more confident, not less, if you put in the work; going out on Thursdays and/or Saturdays is smart and good for your soul, otherwise, work and read and rest. 🍎 Andrew's Take. We are dying. I have chosen to transmute the physical-biological fatigue of getting older into Energy. A smile to someone who needs it or a dance for someone who is spending too much time in a comfortable chair. Big wave surfer Laird Hamilton, a hero of mine, said: I do not want to be liked, I want to be psyched! Damn. On one hand, 30 is a mere number, abstract and meaningless. On the other hand, it is a reminder to do cartwheels and say bad words and try to tell the truth and — listen up for this one — impose on other people. We were built to impose on other people's lives. That's what every conversation is. An imposition. The masses will keep quiet and stick to their knitting in the name of midwestern 'politeness' or coastal 'coolness'. Lol no thank you. Life is already too short. Ask people questions, fuck with them, let them fuck with you, laugh and weep, say Hi My Name Is Andrew like we did in kindergarten class. That is what 30 has taught me. 

🕊️ Tweet of the Day.  "Short" applies both to one's height and to one's personality. So, a "short guy" can be 6'2 but has a short fuse with the waitress at Red Lobster. Or he gambles away his money staring at strangers on a screen play a sport, while his own body wilts like an old tulip. Same energy. 

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