If you have a child, and a pet, you'll understand this picture immediately. You may even have once been a child and grew up with a new pet in the house, and you understand the bond that forms between children and animals of a certain age. But no words could sum that bond up better than this picture does.
When babies are very young - and pets are too - it's almost like they don't understand that they're different to each other. They grow with each other and learn from each other, and develop a close, protective relationship. Animals seem to know that babies are different from full grown adults and take extra care around them. This cat is actually half the size of this child and could cause a lot of damage with a bite or a scratch, but instead it just wants some cuddle time with its best friend in the garden. It's adorable.
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.
