What makes a man? The definition seems to be ever changing and evolving in our discourse. You don't need to wear flannel, have a beard, or never cry to be a man. That's just ridiculous. What you do need to do is be capable in many situations, always ready to lend a helping hand.
Although there's more to it than that, I think that's something we can all agree on. When we talk about being a man, we're not talking about how high or low your voice is, or how big your muscles are. As long as you can handle your business, you're a man.
Though some of these reinforce a traditional, over-simplistic idea of being a man, take what you can from the list to become a better person in general. I don't think there's a single thing on this list that you shouldn't learn. #49 is absolutely critical for men, and most men have no idea how to do this!
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.
