All nature lovers know that visiting one of Africa's savannahs is the most important thing you can do in your life. A savannah is a mixed woodland and grassland ecosystem, in which the trees are sufficiently close so that the forests' canopy doesn't close, yet there is enough light to support different flora and fauna to live on the ground.
Just like many other countries in Africa, Kenya is also home to its own savannah. Due to the sheer size of the savannah, it is recommended to take a vehicle to tour the place. Some opt to ride a pickup truck, while others invest their time and money into booking a hot air balloon, which is the recommended way to visit Kenya's savannah. Unless you have a fear of heights, you have no excuse not to visit this place.
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.
