Just because women are perfectly capable of surviving without men doesn't mean we don't appreciate some of that old-fashioned chivalry from time to time. As long as you do it with a smile on your face and no expectation of any returned favors, there's nothing wrong with helping a lady out when you want to. Really, there's nothing wrong with helping anyone out when you can, even a fellow dude!
Feel free to open doors, tell us we look beautiful, give up your seat on the subway, and offer a helping hand whenever you can. If a woman refuses, don't take it personally and she'll appreciate you even more. While we're at it, some old-fashioned clothing wouldn't go astray either. We're talking nice belts, crisp shirts, bow ties, and anything else that is totally gentlemanly.
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.
