Raise your hand if you ever told someone that you didn't have jumper cables just so you wouldn't have to help them? Now raise your hand if you ever told someone that you didn't have jumper cables just because you were scared that neither of you would know how to do it? Either is pretty common. The truth is that it's very simple and easy. The hardest part is arranging the cars, to be honest. When you have a car stalled out on a one-lane road with no room to park, you're guaranteed to piss a bunch of people off.
The last time I had to jump a car, the cables I was using were very questionable. That was the only difficult part. The rubber had corroded off the cables, revealing exposed wires. I was terrified, but I still did it.
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.
