Amelia Earhart lived for adventure, and was never happier than when she was about to face a challenge. You can see how broadly she's smiling here in this picture, as she packs for her attempt to become the first woman in history to circumnavigate the globe in a plane. Sadly, it was to be a trip she'd never return from. Earhart's plane got into difficulty on July 2nd, 1937, radioing for assistance and reporting that it was running low on fuel and flying low.
An unprecedented search and rescue effort followed, but no trace of Earhart or her plane was ever found. There have been several theories about what happened next, which range from alien abduction to a simple case of crashing into the sea and sinking, but as more than eighty years have passed, it now seems likely that we'll never know for sure What we do know is that the world had lost a very brave woman far too soon, at the age of only 39.
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.
