Babies are never more adorable than when they're first born. They don't make noise, they don't make a mess, and most of the time they're asleep. They need our help with everything, and they love us unconditionally. When they're a little older and start to become more independent, we miss those days, and so we have another child. Besides, it will be good to have another family member to keep them company, right?
Well, mostly right, but often very wrong. When you have a second child, your first is no longer the unquestioned center of your universe, and they have to learn to compromise. That's not an easy lesson to take on board when they're used to having your undivided attention. Children with siblings learn about negotiation and compromise at an early age, so it's good for them in the long run. In the short term, it can be very stressful for you!
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.
