There's something hauntingly beautiful about abandoned places. They're areas that were once teeming with life, but have now been forgotten. They stand empty as the modern world passes them by, waiting for somebody to come and discover them again. Walking through them is like seeing a window into the past. We've put a collection of them together for you right here in this list. Strap yourself in for a journey through these forgotten relics.
If you've ever felt the urge to go and take a look around a location that's quiet and derelict, you're not alone. A quick visit to YouTube will reveal that there are hundreds of channels run by people who do exactly that - they call themselves 'urban explorers,' - they explore history!
You don't need to grab a torch, crawl through a fence, or get dirty and dusty to check some great abandoned locations out for yourself, though.
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.
