Nefertiti was the wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Akhenaten, and together they made quite the name for themselves as they headed up a religious revolution back in the 18th dynasty of Egypt. Switching things up a little, they worshipped only one god named 'Aten' or the sun disc. They ended up creating an entirely new religion which changed the landscape of God worship all across Egypt.
At the side of her husband she enjoyed reigning over Egypt at a time when Ancient Egypt was at its wealthiest. Historians can't be sure whether Nefertiti ruled under the name of Nefemeferuaten after King Akhenaten died, which happened just before the ascension of the infamous pharaoh Tutankhamun. Her name had the meaning "the beauty has come" in Ancient Egypt, but how does Nefertiti hold up by today's impossible standards?
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.
