One rule for social media is that you should watch what you say, or if you're not going to watch what you say, at least block your mom from your feed. Mom is either going to cut in with some comment to knock you down, or you're going to feel total shame when she likes your post talking about all the tequila shots you downed at the back of a grocery store parking lot.
In this situation, mom was quick to jump in when this young woman posted a backhanded complaint about her upbringing. "I didn't know how poor I was growing up" is not a becoming statementof a nyone, especially if you had a swing set. It's not that a swing set is expensive, but the hospital bills are when you fall and break your arm. The girl tries to defend her comment, but mom isn't having it, threatening her with the block. That might actually be for the best.
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.
