Here's another stunning one from Pawel Kuczynski - we are constantly in awe of his compelling illustrations! This piece offers an insight that we know all too well but can never seem to put into the right words. We see a leader speaking, while all that he says is taken to the gutter. We know you already get it!
There was a time when political leaders had the ability to control and take charge of millions of people. Sadly, we cannot trust what any of them say anymore - over a period of decades they have eradicated their own trust. They have pushed us to a point where we no longer listen or feel and it's as though everything that comes out of their mouths is sewerage that belongs in the gutter. It makes us long for a time when we can trust our leaders and political systems again.
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.
