I think there's a standard script of parental quotes that are used constantly. I'm talking about things like, "put on a sweater," "don't do drugs," and "clean your room." It's easy to block all that nonsense out because it's... well... nonsense. At least to a kid or a teen it's nonsense. Looking back it was all great advice, except for "don't do drugs." Those can be fun if taken in moderation, or with a bunch of babes.
This parent totally flipped the script and surprised us with this one. This is like a perfectly timed comedy skit. You set up typical "no" response after "no" response until the kid expects what you're going to say, then you hit them with the "why are you even going to the party?" line. It gets them every time. The bad thing is then the kid thinks it's OK to do all the things on that list.
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.
