Sometimes, we think of veterinarians as being the poor cousins of doctors. Most of them are driven by a passion for taking care of animals, and passion projects rarely bring in big money. You'll know from your own insurance and medical bills that treatment and surgery for animals cost a lot less than treatment and surgery for people, so how is it that some veterinarians are earning more than doctors?
The answer lies in the 'research' side of the industry. A research veterinarian will have years of experience, and a scientific understanding of medications and treatment programs. Only those with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine need apply for this role, as well as the mentality to cope with the potential consequences of attempting experimental procedures on sick animals. Several years of hands-on experience as a regular vet are needed before you can even consider reaching for greater heights.
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.
