I'm all for eating healthy and treating your body right. It may not look it but I am. One look at my belly and you know I'm not at optimal health. Then again, I never said I practiced that kind of lifestyle. I just said that I am all for it. Even though I'm all for it, I still think there are ways you can push it too far. Once you get into crystals and counting your macronutrients I start to lose interest.
This image attacks the overly-healthy people who push it a little too far. Those aren't' even vegetables. Those are plants that dogs pee on. They aren't meant for eating. Then you see those rocks in the water. It took me five years to get used to cucumber in my water. I don't know if I'm ready for stone nutrients yet.
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.
