Anyone who has fallen asleep on their stomach by accident will probably be able to recall terrible neck pains and cramps upon waking up. This is because the neck shouldn't be in this position for very long, let along a whole night. It's not unusual for regular stomach sleepers to experience muscle spasms and chronic pain. But some swear they feel better than ever after some tummy time.
Sealy's sleep survey revealed that people who favor the face down position were heavy drinkers and worked in agriculture or other outdoor jobs. Stomach sleepers also tend to have a bit of an attitude and can be quite blunt at times. We don't mind, though, we appreciate all the honesty we can get from our friends and loved ones. Who doesn't love a sassy partner in crime?
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.
