Simon Bolivar was certainly one the most influential figureheads in world history. So, sit back, and let us tell you all about him. Simon Bolivar was a Venezuelan military leader who played a pivotal role in the revolutions against the Spanish Empire. The South American soldier was born into considerable wealth and sent to Spain for his education, where he quickly got caught up in the European political landscapes.
He just couldn't help getting caught up in the resistance movement - when France invaded Spain he was hailed by many as 'El Libertador' in English; The Liberator. Sadly, he died not too long after in 1830. He may have faced some fearful opposition in his time, but the final battle which finished him off was with Tuberculosis.
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.
