Africa is home to a lot of endemic species, but one of the most interesting and dangerous to see are the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda. They can be found in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park, which is home to dozens of different exotic animals. Located the apes can be a part of the experience as well, due to the vastness of the park, and the limited number of mountain gorillas.
The mountain gorilla is a subspecies of the eastern gorilla. The species is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN, which means that their survival is in jeopardy, and the world's governments need to do more to ensure the safety of its members. The other type of eastern gorilla is found in Uganda's Bwindi Natural Park, which is another place you should visit if you want to spend time with exotic animals.
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.
