We get not just one 'after' picture from this young man, but two. He was so keen to show the world his new look that he added a second 'after' photo, taken a few months on from the first one. We don't blame him for it - he looks incredible. His hairstyle and outfit are particularly on point - although we have a weird feeling that he probably topped the look off with sandals.
Although is transformation is staggering, we can't help but feel that he cheated a bit with the 'before' picture. We can see that he was overweight, and also that his skin needed some work, but the little blue mustache and the red whiskers he's drawn onto the pictures wouldn't make anybody look good. You could have put those on the 'after' picture and they'd look equally as ridiculous.
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.
