20. The Constant Refusal

20. The Constant Refusal

Babies and young children are usually quite happy doing whatever it is they're doing right now. Any attempt to take them away from whatever that thing is can be met with tears and tantrums, even if it's something that's in their best interests, like having a bath.

Once you've wrestled with your child and got them into the bath, they'll be perfectly happy again - especially if they have bath toys to play with while they're in there. Now you have a new problem; you need to get them out again, and you're going to have to repeat the wrestling match. Children are contradictory by their very nature. It won't be long before you're plucking them out of the water and toweling them down whether they're crying and complaining about it or not! Top tip: Bribery almost always works.

Did You Know...

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.
