The moment you have a child, your life changes. You suddenly become aware of a depth of love that you never thought possible, and you realize in one instant that there is no length you wouldn't go to in order to protect, feed and bring joy into the life you've brought into the world. Parents will often do amazing things for their children as if it's second nature - but this father takes it to a whole new level.
His 13-year-old daughter suffers from cerebral palsy, but he doesn't allow that to become a barrier to participation in life. Every year, they enter a local triathlon together as father and daughter, and every year he pushes her in a kayak during the swim, pulls her in a cart during the bike race, and pushes the wheelchair during the race. Sometimes - as illustrated in the image - he'll simply carry her in his arms.
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.
