Modern life is complicated. Chances are we spend all of our days at work staring at computer screens, and even when we're not, we've got smart phones, tablets, smart TVs and laptops. It can be exhausting trying to stay on top of all the technology.
When you're with your man, he wants to spend time with you and you alone. He doesn't want to share it with your Facebook friends, or your Instagram followers, or everybody on Twitter - just you. Sure, take some photos of you having a great time, but upload them later. Don't pause between causes in the restaurant to tag yourself in and tell everyone what a great time you're having - wait until you're home and tell them what a great time you had. Be there, in the moment, with him. And if he's a phone addict, make him put his away as well.
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.
