Many people have reported looking up at our satellite, the Moon, and seeing a man's face on the surface. We should start eyeing him with a little more suspicion, because he's trying to escape. With every passing year, the Moon is a little bit further away from us.
Because of the interaction between the Moon and the Earth's tides, the Moon is experiencing a very gentle repulsion. The Moon's gravity causes the tides in the first place, but the tides in turn generate a 'tidal bulge', generation friction during the rotation of the Earth that, in turn, pushes back against the Moon. Its current rate of retreat is 1.5 inches per year - about the same speed your fingernails grow - so we don't need to worry about it disappearing just yet. That's just as well really - without it, the Earth may stop spinning completely.
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.
