Cassey Ho is all about body-positivity. The body-positive movement is about teaching people to love and accept their bodies for what they are - this is because of the belief that people can progress further in life, only after they have accepted themselves. Cassey is also a certified fitness instructor and pilates fan. Her Instagram account is absolutely exploding, and she currently has over 1.3 million followers.
For Health and Fitness, Casey seems to be following the mainstream advice - she tries to keep a clean diet (that means eating fruit, vegetables, and clean sources of protein and fat) while working out every week. For the workouts, she says it is important not to get burned-out, which is especially easy to do if you are a beginner. Compound exercises are your best bet towards building a healthy body.
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.
