Isn't this what we all aim to be? Cash rich, care free, able to do what we want and when we want. For the majority of being, being affluent is the definition of living the dream. Money buys time, security and opportunity. Not everyone can get there, and not everyone can even say the word out loud correctly. Master this one and maybe you'll end up getting there one day.
This is a bit of a tricky one, so we'll use capital letters to make our point - it's all about where you put the stress on the word. Most people go for "aff-LOO-ent", with all the emphasis on the middle. It should actually be "AFF-loo-ent", with the emphasis on the beginning. So, if you get the start right, the rest follows naturally. A bit like making money.
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.
