Do not waste time. That's a message we should all hear louder, and more often. All that time you spend worrying about the future is actually causing the future to move on ahead of you, whistling past your ears whilst you procrastinate about it. And if these words aren't driving the message home for you, how are you with in-your-face metaphors about time literally being flushed down the toilet?
Memories only happen if we make them happen. Plans only succeed if we act on them. If we sit still and do nothing, nothing will happen, and opportunities will pass us by. This poor woman looks like she planned for a holiday at one point. She even packed a bag. She just never got around to doing it, and then the moment disappeared. As Eminem warned us all in 8-Mile, you get one shot and one opportunity at most things. Carpe diem. Seize the moment.
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.
