Air traffic control doesn't look like a complicated job. If we're to believe all we see from television and Hollywood on the subject, it involves little more than staring at a radar screen, watching as planes cruise overhead, represented by little blips on the screen. Your main job is to remind them not to crash into each other as they're taking off or landing. As usual, fiction hasn't been all that accurate in representing the complexities of the task.
There is only so much a pilot can see from the air, even with all the technology in their planes. You're their eyes on the ground. You're informing them of weather, visibility issues, runway availability, hazards in the air and on the ground, and flight paths when required to do so. You're also required to monitor baggage distribution to make sure the right baggage goes with the right flight. The job involves long hours, and absolute concentration for every second of every shift.
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.
