Everyone knows that Europe has a lot of places that have awesome nightlife, but in the UK, it is not London that takes the first place when it comes to having a fun time out. Many people have rated Liverpool as the place to be when it comes to clubbing, drinking and meeting people. The reason for this ranges from Liverpool's welcoming residents to the city's geographical location.
The scene in Liverpool is not how people usually imagine nightlife looks like - there are no fake tans or cheesy music. Everything in Liverpool is creative, friendly and bursting with life. There are countless bars (nicknamed "drinking holes" by the locals) that surround the city, offering everyone the chance to drink (check out the local craft beer) and have fun on the cheap.
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.
