You know more than your child does. Parenting would be extremely difficult if you didn't! As far as your child is concerned, you're the wisest soul in the whole universe, and the person who can answer all of their questions. They'll take anything you tell them as gospel truth, and they may even form opinions based upon your answers.
Telling them something, though, is no substitute for them learning it themselves. There's no harm in telling your child basic answers to basic questions, but they should also be encouraged to inform themselves via research and form their own perspectives based upon that. More importantly, you should never give your child an answer to a question if you're not sure of it. They may accept it as fact and spend half their life believing it! Encourage them to read and learn, and to tell you what they've found out.
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.
