It was Newton who once said that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, because the image of an elderly Justin Bieber with a young man's body exists, so does this depiction of Pippi Longstocking as an older woman with a youthful face. If it hurts your eyes, blame physics.
Perhaps this picture is telling us that no matter how old we get, we still feel the same way inside as we did when we were young. Or perhaps it's saying that when we care about someone, they always look the same way to us, no matter how much time passes. Think of someone you love but haven't seen for a while. Are you imagining them as they are now? Or are you seeing them as they were years ago, when you first met? Strange, isn't it?
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.
