A lot of the pictures we've seen so far make reference to the fact that children dominate your life. This one goes a step further, and it's more accurate than you might assume it to be if you don't have a child of your own. Because you're on care-giving duty 24/7, days have a habit of merging together. The days become weeks. The weeks can, if you're not careful, turn into months.
When did you last have a shower? When did you last cook a meal for yourself? When did you last even leave the house? It's probably longer ago than you think. You're not consciously neglecting yourself; this is just what happens when you're so focused on your new arrival. Start setting reminders on your phone so you don't forget to do basic things. You'll be glad of the help when the alarm goes off!
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.
