Given the conversations and debates that are going on in the media and in politics at the moment, it's never been more important that your children learn about consent at an early age. Their bodies are their own, and they shouldn't allow anyone else near them if it makes them uncomfortable. The same is true whether your child is a boy or a girl.
You have to remember that this also applies to you, too. You may desperately want to bundle your child up into a cuddle and smother them with kisses, but if they clearly don't want to, you shouldn't push the issue. They have to learn that it's OK to say no, and that if they say no, whoever wants to touch them should stop. It will teach them to enforce their own right to stay free of harassment in later life.
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.
