There's quite a story behind the picture you see on the left-hand side. There, you see a woman who had beaten cancer not only one, but twice. She and her body had been through a lot, and considering what she'd had to subject herself to both physically and emotionally, we think she looks great. She disagreed, though. She never used to look like that, and it wasn't until she saw the pictures that she realized how she looked to other people. She vowed to change.
Other people had commented on her weight gain, and she found herself giving them excuses - blaming her illness, and also saying she had thyroid issues. They were lies. She signed up for a boot camp to bring her weight down, and she loved it. Because of that, she did another, and then another, and then another. As the weight came down, something amazing happened - she no longer felt in any pain from her surgeries and years of illness. She stopped taking medication, and she felt better than ever. Now, she runs boot camps of her own.
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.
