Moderation is the key to healthy drinking. It's the difference between one beer and one hundred beers. It wouldn't be considered excessive if you were doing it in moderation. That's the key to making sure you're not one of the 16% included in Arizona's adults drinking excessively state. Moderation can be difficult when you're in the dry heat and there's an icy margarita staring at you.
Arizona is well known for its hot climate, which can be blistering and draining. You kind of need a drinking respite. The thing about margaritas and hot days is that together they can create powerful hangovers. Powerful hangovers can only be defeated with more drinking. Thus, the cycle continues.

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.
