43. Winter Only Activities

In one respect, climbing an ice wall must be easier because your spikes can go into it much easier. Then again, normal rocks can't melt, so there's that. You really want to be keyed into the weather report when you're climbing an ice waterfall. You don't want to be halfway up when Mr. Sun comes out and decides to say hello. One minutes you're climbing. The next minute you're going down a waterslide. When I put it that way, it doesn't sound so bad.

It's amazing that water can even freeze while falling like that. That's a big sign that that's not a place I should be. If waterfalls are freezing then I don't trust my blood not to freeze. I don't care how marvelous the human body is. I'm from Los Angeles. I get cold when it's 65 degrees fahrenheit. I can't trust myself in the wild like that.

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.
