The face down position is probably the most controversial of all sleeping positions. People who don't sleep on their bellies are often baffled by how anyone actually sleeps this way all night, while stomach sleepers swear by it and wouldn't have it any other way. We appreciate their dedication to a sleep style that is definitely not the most popular among us.
We're feeling responsible right now, so we're going to throw out some health concerns real quick. The majority of doctors and chiropractors do not recommend this sleeping style for people with large breasts or people who are pregnant. It's also no good for people with existing neck and back injuries. It puts unnecessary pressure on the body and can often make things worse. If this is you, it's time to come up with a new position - we suggest the log.
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.
