17. Reflecting on Life

Let's not add to the chaos of some of these pictures by shooting them upside down! I had to do a handstand just to figure out the truth here. I ended up breaking all my lamps in the process. I have a lot of lamps too. You'd think I'd just flip the monitor around, but in the middle of trying all those handstands, the thought didn't' cross my mind. You could say I was in the zone, despite the outcome.

The reflection of the water, mixed with the orientation of the photo, makes this look like a construction out of Inception. If a movie could go on this list, Inception would have made the cut. That movie belongs on 50 Movies that Will Break Your Brain. That would be a fun list, but that's like a hundred hours of your life. You have better things to do than that.

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.
