There are some very strange sleep surveys out there and we managed to stumble upon one by Sealy mattress manufacturers that studied sleep position and likely careers (it also covered a bunch of other weird statistics). Apparently, those who sleep on their right side are more likely to work manual jobs, such as transport, logistics, and manufacturing. They're also more likely to smoke cigarettes and drink caffeinated beverages.
Are all right side sleepers chain smoking, coffee drinking train drivers? No, definitely not. The survey just showed results skewed in that direction. It is interesting to note, though, that those working physical jobs tend to sleep in a position that is generally considered physically better for your body. We wonder if there's any correlation. We're not scientists, but it certainly seems like a pretty big coincidence!
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.
