Having influences of both the Pug and Chihuahua breeds, the Chug is a mixed breed dog that when fully grown will make for a great addition for homes large and small alike. Their weight will range from approximately 10 to 20 pounds and have a life expectancy around 10 to 12 years. Both breeds are known for their confidence, which means your Chug will likely need to be monitored to ensure it doesn't get itself into trouble. Because of their size and short coat, they are best kept as indoor pets and shouldn't be left outside in the elements.
Like the Pug, your Chug will thoroughly enjoy meal time! Care must be taken to ensure they are not overfed. And like the Chihuahua, your Chug will require an abundance of socialization to ensure they aren't anxious or aggressive around other dogs, particularly larger breeds.
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.
