32. The Best Laid Plans

32. The Best Laid Plans

When you've welcomed a new baby into the world, you and your partner aren't going to have a lot of time for each other anymore. You'll be together constantly, especially during the baby's first few weeks, but it won't be quality time. Every waking moment will be all about the baby. The idea of going on a date will become laughable.

Later on, when they sleep through the night, it might be possible to squeeze in a mini-date at home with a bottle of wine and a film. Don't expect to see the end of the film, though. You're both far more tired than you realize. As soon as you get a second to relax, you'll find that your body will likely respond by going straight to sleep. This is why it's important to get out of the house occasionally for proper date nights, like you used to have.

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.
