There are some downsides to being a longshoreman, like danger and possible criminal activity. For one, you're dealing with gian crates and heavy machinery. It's not exactly a safe place to be, but that's exactly why the money is so good. If you're just sitting at a desk taking customer calls, you won't be making the same money as when a two ton crate is hanging over your head. That's just the truth of it all.
Along with the fear of inherently dangerous working conditions, there's also the fear of criminal activity. Anytime you're dealing with a large amount of imported goods, you could run into trouble. Though, I don't believe it's anything like what we see in the movies. There are no Russian terrorists holding secret meetings at the shipyards, waiting for their biological weapons.
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.
