Here's an entry into the 'variations on a theme' category. Remember the picture earlier on, of the guy in the traffic jam, wishing he had a better car? Here's someone in an office job - an office job where someone needs to pay the bills and get the lights turned back on - dreaming of being on holiday. Only he's not enjoying himself on holiday because he's still really at his job.
So, what's the lesson here? He'd like to go and do the same job somewhere a little more tropical? He's wishing for things that won't change his life? He's doomed to be stuck in his current role forever? Or have we missed the point completely? Maybe a change of scenery isn't always a change in circumstances. We don't know. We don't have all the answers. You tell us!
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.
