We'll give you the correct pronunciation in a moment or so, but let's build up to it first, because we have to have a prelude. "Prelude" really just means "introduction", and it can be used as the start of a story, or a section of music played as an opening act. The clue to its purpose comes from the "pre" part of the word, but we don't know where the rest of it came from. It's not like you get a "lude" after the "prelude".
You may have heard it said as "pray-lood", but that isn't right, even if it was in a Church. It isn't "pree-lude" either, even though that sounds right considering the word's true meaning. What you should actually be aiming for is "prell-yood"; a pronunciation which is owed to the word's Latin roots.
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.
