Terminator. Predator. California. Arnold Schwarzenegger is an American hero, which is very bizarre considering he's Austrian. Americans have a tendency to find really interesting people from other countries and say "nah, they are ours now." Hell, Arnold was even governor of California, so some sort of conspiracy has to be going on. Not that I'm mad at it. I'd vote Arnold for president if I could (If I could vote, that is. I'm a registered felon).
It is in fact true that Arnold is numero uno (which means number one for any of you non-Spanish speakers). Wear a shirt that says that and it's like you're a walking billboard for truth. You're also guaranteed a picture with Arnold if he sees you. Just realize that you're being used as nothing more than a caption at that point.
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.
