Remember the photo you saw a little earlier, of a sheep who'd fallen into the ocean? That was a picture of bravery and triumph, but it was a deed done by fully grown adults who'd calculated the risks and decided it was a risk worth taking. If a similar act was carried out by a pair of children, it would be even more amazing. And yet here it is, happening on this picture.
These two boys are working together to help a dog who's fallen into a ravine. There are adults in the world who would walk past the stranded dog without a care, but these children launched a comparatively difficult rescue operation. Look at the ingenious use of the basket to extend their range. The dog looks like he's been through an experience, too - it looks like by the end it offers a handshake of thanks!
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.
