Like with languages, there are certain barriers that people experience when they're trying to connect with the world. Those in wheelchairs, for example, basically find half of the world inaccessible. Because of bad roads, lack of sidewalks, stairs, and steepness, there are so many places that remain frustratingly out of reach. Us able-bodied people might never realize it, but it affects your quality of life enormously.
Luckily for us, a future where everyone has an equal opportunity for enjoyment is right here, right now. From bionic limbs to the ingenious stair-climbing wheelchair pictured, inventors are constantly coming up with ways to open up the world. Now, more than ever before, the barrier for entry has been significantly lowered. And isn't it great to share this wonderful planet?
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.
