When you're as old as the lady in this photograph, you've seen a few things. She'll have seen the good and bad of life, and she's seen the world change around her. That gives you the right to an opinion - even if that opinion is that she hates the world and everything in it. Grandma, we totally feel you. We have days like that, too.
What really makes this a great picture to us is that the message on her t-shirt just doesn't go with her demeanor. She looks like a happy, smiling lady with joy in her heart, and we can't imagine her hating everything! Even the t-shirt is a cheerful shade of yellow. Perhaps she's wearing it as a joke? On the plus side, we bet it stops her getting hassled by anyone she passes on the street.
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.
