Being a firefighter is one of the most difficult jobs anybody could do. Aside from the fact that you put your life in danger on a daily basis, you have to make split second decisions that can have life changing implications, every time you're on the scene of a major fire. Balancing priorities is part of the job.
That's what makes this picture wonderful. It's a firefighter administering oxygen to a kitten he's saved from a house fire. If your family was unfortunate enough to be caught up in a blaze, you'd grab what you could and get out of there as quickly as you could, but pets are family, too. The look of care and attention on the face of this fireman tells you that he understands that, and not only was he willing to go in there and find the kitten, he'll go way above and beyond the call of duty to keep it alive for you.
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.
