Were we the only ones who thought that the little control on earbud cords only adjusted the volume? When we found out you can do pretty much anything using the center button our minds were completely blown!
To pause or play, just press the center button. To skip songs, press it twice quickly and to go back to a previous song, you can press it three times quickly. Fast-forwarding is easy and can be done by pressing the center button twice and holding on the second press. To rewind, press it three times and hold on the third press. Music isn't the only thing you can control. You can also activate Siri by pressing and holding the center button and you can take a photo by pressing the volume up button while the camera app is open.
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.
