Located in Wimberley, Texas, Jacob's Well is somewhat of a natural phenomenon, and a deadly one at that. It is the largest underwater cave in the state, and if underwater caves aren't enough to scare you, maybe the fact that it can swallow professional divers whole will. Jacob's well might look like a peaceful spring from the outside, but it's actually an impossibly deep, black hole containing four chambers measuring 190 feet.
Ten known divers have been taken by Jacob's Well, and that's just the ones we know about. What most thrill seekers don't realize is that the chambers become tighter the further you go down. It's highly likely you would be trapped within the depths and never be seen again. For those who really want to see it, there's definitely nothing wrong with just dangling your legs in for a minute.
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.
