People who choose the starfish position are the types of people who are immediately likeable. When you meet them, they just give off a good vibe and make everybody feel comfortable and relaxed. It's almost as though their laidback attitude is infectious. While generally sociable and easygoing, starfish sleepers don't love being the center of attention (though they wouldn't mind if they were every now and again).
You should count yourself lucky if you have a couple of starfish sleeping friends. But you might want to advise them that their sleep position of choice isn't exactly doing them any favors in the health department. As with other back sleeping positions, it has been known to worsen breathing problems such as sleep apnea, as well as other respiratory conditions. A starfish sleeper will almost always snore.
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.
