We don't want to worry anybody, but the world seems to be slowing down. The rotation of our planet on its axis is definitely and measurably reducing in speed and may one day stop completely.
The good news, though, is it's going to take a while. At a rate of around 17 milliseconds per century - providing of course that the rate of slow down doesn't increase - we won't see an Earth day go from 24 hours to 25 for approximately two billion years. The slowing effect can mostly be blamed on the Moon - the impact of our satellite's gravity on our oceans creates tides, which gently drag back against the turn of the Earth on its rotation, slowing it down by an infinitesimally tiny amount on each spin.
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.
