It's easy to see from these photos which process was used to help this woman shed the pounds. The image on the left was taken the first day she decided to do something about being so heavy. The photo on the right is as she is now. Needless to say, she can now cover much greater distances, and at greater speed! What the images don't show, though, or how she managed to keep herself motivated.
When she started running, she also started a diary. She charted every pound she lost, but also charted the way it made her feel. Little observations like "I feel stronger" and "I feel more attractive" gave her the motivation to hit the road on the days she didn't feel like it, and now she's reaping the benefits. After all, how you feel is just as important to body satisfaction as how you look on the outside.
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.
