Excess weight is a common cause of people feeling negativity towards their appearance. As a society, we've been told that fat people are ugly and unhealthy. That may or may not be true, but losing weight is a common goal for millions of people. That's why dieting is so popular. Most people have tried at least one diet at some point in their lives, but not everyone is as successful at it at this young man!
Through a carefully balanced program of diet and exercise, he was able to shed a massive 100lbs - although we think that some of that weight may have been his hair! It also looks like he decided to give his wardrobe a makeover at the same time. Now he looks like he could be working as a male model. You wouldn't even believe it was the same person if we hadn't told you.
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.
