You can just imagine the Missing poster for this one. "Lost: Entire wooden staircase. Last seen in the vicinity of woods. Dearly loved family pet. Answers to Steppy." All jokes aside, the sheer mystery of how this got there is going to have us sleepless for weeks. This is like something Nancy Drew and her gang would try and solve.
Let's see if we can beat them to the bottom of this mystery. We've got a couple of theories: firstly, that there was a house there once but the stairs outlived everything. Second, that there used to be a hiking trail there. Third, that the trees are starting to build themselves. And finally, that someone took their stairs for a walk in the woods and let them out of their sight for just a split second.
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.
