Look, I get it. We're all busy. We try to fit in as many activities as we can into one moment. I've been there where I'm showering, shaving, and brushing my teeth all the same time. It gets rough when you confuse the toothbrush with the razor, but anything to save a couple of seconds. Ultimately, I've stopped doing that as much though, because that's no way to live. Just enjoy the moments and slow down. No one is going to die if you're two seconds late.
That being said, I'm down for this. Mostly because the smell of coffee is very enjoyable in the morning. I figure if a shower can snap me awake, a shower with coffee will give me superpowers. At least once I'd want to try pouring the coffee over myself. I'm just a curious person like that.
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.
