If you've been getting this one wrong, then maybe it's time to think about picking up some new prescription glasses. See what we did there? How did you pronounce that word in your head when you read it? Just like the word 'espresso' before it at number five, 'prescription' doesn't have any fancy tricks to it - it is pronounced exactly as it is spelled, too.
There's something about the human brain that sometimes messes with words that start 'pre' and spins the 'r' and the 'e' around for us before the sound comes out of our mouths. If you want your doctor to write a note for you so you can pick up some medication, then what you're looking for isn't a "pur-script-shun". This is another word that's said exactly as it's spelled, and it's "pre-script-shun".
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.
