Waiting for your child to say its first word feels like it takes an eternity. They learn to communicate with sound very early on in their lives, but it takes much longer to frame those sounds into words that can be understood. We patiently teach and coach them, hoping that it will be our name they say first. We repeat it to them over and over again.
Once they've learned it, that repetition can come back to haunt us. Now they know your name, they're not afraid to use it any time they want something. In some cases, they'll use it when they don't want anything at all. How many times have you been sat in another room, hearing them call for you over and over, and lamenting the fact that you ever taught them how to talk in the first place?
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.
