Who looked at this picture and didn't go "aaaaah"? Was it you? Look at it again and try a little harder to get involved, this has to be the cutest thing you'll see all day! It's another great example of emergency services workers doing things they don't really have to do, because they're great people.
We don't know this adorable little family of ducks got into what looks like the middle of a large city. We're going to guess they got lost somewhere, or maybe they're on a family outing. But what we do love is how the city has come to a stop to make sure they can get across the road safely and reach their destination, and how a police officer has taken on the role of a traffic warden to make it happen. And the duck at the front even looks like it's quacking its 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.
