Our biggest struggle as fallible beings is to abstain from our vices. Everything from sugar to alcohol just tastes/feels too good to easily say no to. It's actually kind of sad. A comedian, Ari Shaffir once said that all it would take to eliminate chlamydia for good is if everyone took the medication and stopped having sex for ten days. Ten days and a whole virus would be wiped out of existence. Still, we can't abstain.
People are probably more addicted to ice cream than sex. Sometimes they even combine the two. Try it. You'll have to wash the sheets after, but that's probably the case even without the ice cream. This nifty tool makes it so you can't get to the ice cream without a code, but if you're determined you're just going to cut into it.
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.
