Picture this: you're six months into your exciting new relationship and your man takes you out on a beautiful date to celebrate. He hands you a gift and you unwrap it to reveal a jar of pickles. Your first thought is 'what the hell is this?' and then you realize that on your very first date you told him you love this particular pickle brand but can never find it anywhere nearby.
He stored that tiny piece of information and searched high and low to find those pickles for you. But this isn't limited to food preferences. If your man is really in love with you he'll remember all of the little things (and big things) you tell him about yourself. It always feels nice to know that somebody is not only paying attention but is genuinely interested in you.
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.
