It's pretty hard to imagine a contemporary Emily Dickinson, isn't it? Considering the fact that she was one of the most poignantly romantic, talented authors to have ever lived, it's almost impossible to believe that she was actually this beautiful. Even if you don't know her work by name or title, chances are you'd recognize them because her poetry has an amazing way of hitting you like a ton of bricks.
She may not have been designed to fit into the 21st century with all the dating apps, Snapchat filters, and other stuff that makes our modern existence not all that romantic, but it's safe to say in this image of her she would have fit in as a hipster quite nicely. The reconstructed image of her made her as immortal as the literary world believes she is.
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.
