This photo has been taken from space and allows us a more alarming and informative view of overpopulation than we can get from the ground. This is what New Delhi, India, looks like from far above the clouds. It's a massive, sprawling sea of human construction, spreading in every direction for as far as the lens can capture. New Delhi houses over 30,000 people per square mile, most of them in accommodation like this.
It's obviously better for people to have a roof over their head than not but consider what conditions must be like for the people contained within this mass. Where do the children go to play? Where do the adults to go rest? Where are the parks and the fields? Has anyone living in the middle of all this ever seen a tree? You could walk for miles in any direction from the center of this picture, and all you'd see are buildings that look very similar to your own home.
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.
