No one's asking you to be a beer aficionado. All you need to do is to be able to know what kind of beer you like, at the very least. Just go a tad bit further in your knowledge and you will know what the main types of beer are. Nothing annoys me more than seeing a guy at the bar ask for a beer and not know what he wants. "Do you have something that's, like, really light?" Dude, just figure it out. You either want a lager, IPA, stout, and that's about it. Most places won't even have that many choices.
It's kind of like whiskey in that it can seem a little complicated but it's not very complicated at all. Once you master the beer you like, that's all you need. Tell people you're an IPA guy, for example, and you don't even need to talk about the other beers.
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.
