You'll find a lot of rich people on the golf course, but very few of them are young. Playing golf, for a long time, has been as much about status as it is about sport. Owning golf clubs indicates that you have money, and you have the time to spend hours of your time whacking a ball around a course. Many a business deal used to be struck during a game of golf - but that isn't how business works anymore.
Millennials go to the gym, keep themselves fit, and are generally more active than their parents in every way - but they don't play golf. Many golf clubs (as in organizations which allow you to play the game, not the stick used to hit the ball) report that their members are slowly getting too old to visit the course anymore, and the younger generation isn't turning up to replace them. That's presumably because they're all doing spinning, or CrossFit.
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.
