Pompeii was an ancient village found in Rome. It was well-known during historic times until it was "buried" by Vesuvius (a Vulcan) in 79 AD. Due to the burial of the city, today, after the city has been uncovered by geologists, it stands as the best-preserved Roman city in existence. Anyone what is fascinating in Roman culture should visit Pompeii, where you can learn a lot about Rome's culture and architecture.
Pompeii is close to modern Naples, in the Campania region of Italy (just south of Rome). After the volcanic explosion, the city was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft.) of volcanic ash and pumice. Studies have shown that the city was initially founded around 7th or 6th century BC, by the Osci tribe. The city was eventually conquered by Rome in the 4th century BC, just a few hundred years after its inception.
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.
