Norway's fjords were the places from where numerous Viking expeditions first took place. The geographical formation made it an excellent and safe place for shipbuilding to take place. The Geirangerfjord fjord is located in the Sunnmore region of More of Romsdal country, Norway. It is 15 km (9.3 miles) long, and it even has a small village called Geiranger located at the end of the fjord.
Today, the fjord is one of Norway's most visited sites, with even cruise ships landing in the fjord village. Since 2005, the fjord is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, although this status may be canceled, as Norway wants to construct power lines across the fjord. If that really happens, the view and glamour of the place may be ruined for the future generations who have yet to see the place.
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.
