Children play with toys. You did when you were a child, and so did your parents before you. We like to spoil our children, and so we feel inclined to go out and buy them the latest and greatest in playthings. There's only one issue with that; very young children have no concept of what's supposed to be a toy and what isn't, nor how much money you've spent trying to entertain them.
Children take a while to develop a sense of danger, and when they're young the whole world around them is theirs to play with. Sometimes that can take the form of cardboard boxes, as if they were cats. Other times, it will take the form of something potentially dangerous. They don't understand why we're telling them off, but these are valuable lessons to learn.
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.
