There's a weird dichotomy between siblings. On the one hand we want siblings to get along for obvious reasons. They have to live with each other for years anyway, and it makes for a peaceful household. On the other hand, siblings are never going to get along. By that I mean, yes there will be moments of love, but there will be just as many moments of pure hate and vitriol. It's a trade off that always balances out.
Still, even if siblings are going to fight, it's important to try to teach them peace. One extra large t-shirt from the gas station and some magic markers is a hell of a good price to pay for teaching your kids a lesson. Watch out though. There have been times where I've been so mad at my sister that I would have jumped off a cliff just to take her with me.
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.
