We know Pawel Kuczynski as the harsh artist, who points out the obvious things we avoid each day. However, we feel this piece of art is more compelling than others, as it tells us that each moment that has passed is a moment closer to death.
When you think about it, it is completely true; with each passing second or minute, we are closer to the end of our time on earth. We cannot know for certain how long we are going to live, which is why each second counts. This shocking yet enlightening piece does not only offer you a harsh piece of truth, it offers you a chance to change the way you live your life. Knowing that you have limited time can lead you towards living a more positive and fulfilled life. Start making changes so you will be content and happy when your time comes.
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.
