The Whitsundays are a chain of continental islands located off the coast of Northern Australia (Queensland to be more precise). The islands are about 560 miles north of the city of Brisbane, and the sights they offer are incredible. While you can travel on the islands, many recommend that you take a boat tour to sail between the numerous islands.
The island group itself is centered around Whitsunday Island (the island that gave the group its name), although that is not the commercial center. The collection's commercial center is Hamilton Island, which is another recommended site to see. The traditional owners of the land over there are the Ngaro and Gia people. The island collection has also named as one of Australia's most popular natural attractions, and judging by the photos, we have to agree.
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.
