The Faroe Islands are a chain of islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of Scotland. Just like the Galapagos island formation, many people choose to visit the Faroe Islands due to their unspoiled and raw nature. The islands are found about 300km north of Scotland, which is another good thing, as that means you can easily visit both Scotland and the Faroe Islands in one go.
Apart from the geological beauty of the islands, you should also visit them for their wildlife, the most famous of which is the Faroese puffin, a type of seabird that is native to the region. During the summer months, which is after the bird's mating season, the Faroe Islands are home to over five million seabirds. This number included two million breeding pairs, which together have a biomass of 3,000 tons.
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.
