According to psychologists, giving something of value has a positive effect on the person that is doing the giving. Those who care, give, or help in an unsolicited manner tend to feel more positive, alive and have higher self-esteem. The effects of emotional or any other type of support on the partner that is on the receiving part of this equation, however, is much more mixed. On one hand, this can generate feelings of gratitude, and improve compliance with later requests.
On the other hand, this behavior may lead to negative feelings of obligation. This is why you need to take your partners needs into consideration before you do any action. At first, it may sound complicated, but keep in mind that the longer you are together with your partner the more likely it is that the two of you know each other enough to be able to accurately predict each other's needs and wants.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
