Just as they are with stilettos, millennials are doing everybody a big favor with their attitude towards business suits. Whoever decreed that wearing a full business suit was necessary to work in an office had strange ideas about fashion. They're too hot, they're uncomfortable, they scuff up too easily, and they're expensive. On top of that, ties are the most unnecessary invention in the history of clothing.
Wearing a suit used to mean you were successful, but millennials grew up watching a different set of successful millionaires. Bill Gates very rarely wore suits. Steve Jobs never did. Mark Zuckerberg doesn't. The trend has turned on its head - businessmen who don't wear suits are seen as being too successful to need one, whereas suit wearers are likely to be grasping salespeople. The time of the business suit is ending.
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.
