GM gals and gents ⛳
This is Andrew's Apples, a small white bag of four fresh *fruits* to nourish your soul and make you feel great. Kind of like naming a dog Eric. All this in under 2 minutes. Let's go picking.
📜 The good ole days. A quick casual reminder that one day, today will be the good ole days. TikTok, the world's heretofore best digital crack, will be kids stuff. Even the Head of AI at Tesla thinks so. Sweetgreen and Chipotle will seem pathetically inconvenient. It will be mainstream knowledge that (a) 85% of plants are carnivores (sorry vegans) and (b) the unconscious mind is 1,000,000x stronger than the conscious waking mind. Kale again will be decorations at the Pizza Hut salad bar, not shoved into your smoothie. Cherish it, for the love of G*d.
🤔 Nocebo: Effective Now. Bad news can literally be bad for you. So, the placebo effect has been widely researched (e.g., doc gives patient a sugar pill but tells them it's a medical treatment, and the patient's condition improves even though it's just a sugar pill). That's the power of your mind. But in more recent years we have found that a nocebo effect can have an even greater effect on subjects. The nocebo effect is when a person expects a negative response and, even if misdiagnosed entirely, still manifests the negative effects. So this is pretty wild. Furthermore, holistic health teacher Paul Chek claims that 35-65% of the time, the subject will realize the disease shortly after 'accepting' the news. The takeaway is that our physicians have a serious responsibility to communicate effectively to patients so as to not cause undue anxiety and stress. And as for us normies? Stop telling yourself and others that the world is f*cked and people are shit. It isn't and they're not. You may produce the very plague you gripe about.
💦 Cranberry Juice, uh *CranApple. We all know that Patrick Bateman didn't spill cranberry juice on his Egyptian cotton white sheets. It was another red liquid. Lolol. But if he had, we'd be comforted to know our fearless protagonist would have been even more invincible than he already was. A new double-blind study out of London found that, aside from supporting the urinary tract in males, cranberries improve cardiovascular function in healthy men. Whole cranberries, gang, not a juice box. Now that's something I cran get on board with.
👴🏻 A great grandpa. This tweet below. I lost my grandpa, 90, last year. He too was not the paragon of health: born in 1931, a Silent Gen codger who ate conventional chicken breast, probably way too much cantaloupe, smoked cowboy cigarettes for a good portion of his life, drank too little water, stingy on food in general, would laugh at yuppies today dropping a $G at Whole Foods just because (and he was far from working-class). But. He had Ann, his college sweetheart, for most of his time here. She passed away in his arms a few years prior. Worship whatever you want, I do not care. His love for her, his family, his cottage on Burt Lake, his old blue Cadillac, his life, kept that dude alive. RIP, wamp.
How do you like them Apples? Suggestions? Hate me? If you ever need anything, hit reply.
