Mountain goats are called mountain goats because they're capable of climbing mountains. But did you know they could also climb trees when the situation calls for it? Now you do, and you have this picture as evidence. This is a genuine image, taken in Morocco. It's not the goats that are unusual here though; it's the tree itself.
Specifically, this is an Argania tree. It produces a type of nut which, whilst uninteresting to humans, goats go wild for. If there's a nut on the farthest branch, at the very top of the tree, you can bet a goat will still try to reach it. Goats hang around in herds, so when one of they see one of their friends start climbing, the rest are bound to follow. Whilst their position may look precarious, they're surprisingly agile creatures, and none of them are in any danger of falling off.
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.
