Katy Hearn is a fitness model. Her journey into the world of fitness began a few days after her 21st birthday. Before that time she did not pay much attention to what she ate, let alone exercise. At that period, she was in college and that means embracing the college life which includes a lot of drinking and eating cheap and convenient food. A life of leisure, and a life of pleasure has bad effects on the body.
So, after the celebration of her birthday, she scrolled through the pictures and was not satisfied with her outlook. Soon after, Hearn took action and made a commitment to start doing fitness. She started seeing results after making a comparison between pictures taken before and after the transformation. Hearn then created her first Instagram account and started posting pictures and diet tips. The number of followers started growing steadily, not she has circa 1.8 million followers.
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.
