We have to admit, we did try to throw you off there for a while by hinting you should be looking at other things, such as our swimmer's swimsuit logo. But you're way too smart for that, we bet. Of course, the one difference is that in the second picture she is wearing an earring. We wonder if that's what was holding back her swim time in this race. Sometimes the tiniest things can make all the difference.
We're not even joking - it's why male swimmers shave off all of their body hair before a race. In the water, it might end up holding them back. So, we're not sure if our swimmer made the right choice by getting into the pool with her earrings on. Hopefully she'll make some better swimwear choices next time!
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.
