Because your child is the center of your life, it's only natural that you're fascinated by everything that they do. Every day there's a new first, and it's the most exciting thing that's ever happened to you or them. You find yourself keeping records and making mental notes to tell everybody how smart and clever your child is growing up to be.
There can be such a thing as 'too much' though. It's important to keep in mind that not everyone finds your baby as fascinating as you do - especially people who don't have children of their own, and therefore don't have a frame of reference. Don't overload your friends with baby stories on the rare occasions you're able to see them - and don't forget to ask them how their own baby-free lives are going, too!
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.
