The Shepherd Chow is a mix between the exotic Chow dog, and the famous German Shepherd. The Shepherd Chow is rather easy to train, being that it is a highly intelligent dog. But they do exhibit a stubborn side and will need firm but positive reinforcement to ensure they are adequately trained and socialized. This is especially important as both the Chow Chow and German Shepherd breeds are known to be anxious around other pets or humans.
It is also important to ensure smaller children understand that this soft fluffy creature isn't merely a toy to rough-house with, as they may be inclined to snap during unsupervised interaction. The Shepherd Chow can live up to 10 to 12 years and grow to weigh anywhere from 40 to 95 pounds. This, coupled with their high energy, means adequate daily exercise is a must to keep their weight and energy in check.
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.
