This is the guy you'd always want on your side when things weren't going your way. With his friendly smile, the somewhat 'relaxed attitude' suggested by the cigarette he's smoking, and his general air of worldly wisdom, Good Guy Greg is the guy who'll tell you to go home from a party when you're making a fool of yourself. He'll talk you out of a fight, and he'll give you that piece of relationship advice that makes all the difference.
Although he's replaced the cigarette with a toothpick, Greg seems to be the exact same 'gregarious' (sorry about the pun) person he always was. He makes his living as a commercial fisherman, and he has the exact same welcoming smile that tells you that you could unburden all your problems on him, and he'd still be able to guide you towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
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.
