It's funny that we'll look at the creatures in Star Wars and think how special they are. Whether it's a small little slug-like thing or a huge creature like a bantha, they seem so otherworldly and special. What's the real difference between an elephant and a bantha though? Apparently there's not much of a difference since they used elephants for Banthas. Monkeys and apes aren't that different from some of the cool creatures in Star Wars either. What I'm trying to say is that maybe the alien world we need to discover is the one in our own backyards.
There are some animals that are so weird that I bet if you put them in a Star Wars movie people would think they were made up. Just look at any of the weird deep sea creatures they discover every years. Those things are straight from space.
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.
