Most people that have seen the Grand Canyon have reported that the experience has left them speechless. It is not just the scale that astonishes people - but the overall vastness of the place. Just check out the above photo - you can see how deep the Grand Canyon is, and this photo doesn't even capture 1/5th of the place. Other facts and statistics about the place are equally mind-blowing, like for example how long the Grand Canyon is.
According to recent measures, the Grand Canyon is 277 miles long, and up to 1 mile deep. Some people have explained the experience as basically seeing a mountain that is placed upside-down. Another interesting and unique aspect is the abruptness of the Grand Canyon's drop - it doesn't look like a normal steep hill or mountain. Once you come to the edge of it, the drop angle is literally 90 degrees.
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.
