Psychologists have studied the loose spoon phenomenon, and it mostly comes down to the human desire to get as much quality sleep as possible. Once relationships progress from the honeymoon phase, priorities tend to change and being all loved-up is no longer a good enough substitute for catching a full night of Z's.
In the regular spoon position, the big spoon communicates "I'm protective of you." In the loose spoon position, they're saying "I'm still here to protect you and you can count on me, but I don't need to smother you." This level of comfort in a relationship is healthy and psychologists say it's a good sign if you have a long-term partnership and still favor this sleeping position. You still like touching each other, but you don't have to be all wrapped up.
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.
