I love dissecting this type of photo because I always tend to take photos for granted on first glance. You look at a photo and just assume it was as easy as pointing and shooting. That's all it took to instagram my 'eternal bliss oatmeal' at the Gratitude Cafe earlier today after all. Consider all the elements in this photo. It's pointing down at the subject. That means that whoever took the photo was even higher up. If he didn't climb then he's on a helicopter, which means that climber's job is even harder with huge gusts of unatural wind slapping against him.
It must have taken a lot to snap this shot, and I'm not seeing any safety liners connected to the climber. Rock on, dude! Get it? Just watch out for that huge rock at the top that looks like it could fall at any second.
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.
