Who hasn't fantasized about a luxurious vacation in Paris? Living on cheese, baguettes, and champagne, visiting the Moulin Rouge, checking out Notre Dame Cathedral, and viewing famous artworks at the Louvre. It wouldn't be complete without trip to the Avenue des Champs-?lysées and Arc de Triomphe. And eclectic Montmarte and the Sacré-C?ur basilica would be on the itinerary for sure.
But we think everyone can agree that the main event is certainly the Eiffel Tower. Kids dream about going, couples in love dream about going. Let's be real, everyone dreams about going at some point. This is one of the world's most recognizable icons, after all. Have fun thinking about Paris while you spot a total of four differences in this photo. But don't get too distracted - we almost took a break to go out for croissants.
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.
