You've probably noticed that over the last few years, everybody's got quite big on recycling. We'd like to think it's because companies and governments have developed a deep and sincere interest in saving the planet, but in reality, it's probably because they've realized the value of what's being thrown away. Raw materials have value, and so long as they can be salvaged, they can be used time and again in the construction industry.
You'll want to do a little internet research into what's valuable as a reclaimed material and what isn't, but as a starting tip, anything that contains copper usually has high value. Scrapyards and similar companies pay finders fees for materials and will happily part with their cash if you can bring them the right cargo. Stop throwing out your metal items, and don't be afraid to loiter and root around industrial waste bins to find potential treasure.
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.
