Remember those little puzzle books from childhood? They were full of word games, brain teasers, and spot the difference challenges and they'd keep kids busy for hours. They were vacation essentials! The funny thing is, they never really lose their appeal and it's just as fun playing these games as adults.
We can recall family road trips simply flying by when we had 'spot the difference' puzzles to keep us busy the whole way. It should be totally acceptable to keep on playing when we're all grown up. The other cool thing is that these types of puzzles really test your intelligence.
Of course, it's now the twenty first century and we no longer use simple paperback puzzle books. But the spirit of the challenge is still there when we use our smartphones instead. Only a true genius can probably get all of these right. The Mona Lisa picture is REALLY difficult!
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.
