When you think of the phrase "sleeping with the fishes", do you ever think - like we do - about where fishes actually sleep? Oh, we're sure that David Attenborough probably explained it at some point or another, but we were no doubt not listening at all. Just nodding gently to his dulcet tones and looking at all that beautiful blue water.
But really, how do fishes sleep? And where? Do they just swim around all the time? If so, that must get pretty exhausting. The best we can do is about 100 feet before we need to crawl out of the pool and catch some rays. Anyway, we may have found the solution to this little mystery, at the otherworldly Pavilion Lake in British Columbia, Canada. There, NASA scientists discovered that fish have lawn furniture to sleep in, just like the rest of us.
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.
