We've all fallen to especially lonely times every once in a while. In those times you mash up your pillows and blankets into a person and try to collect even a tiny morsel of human connection in the mass of linen. The next step up is anime pillows. Those are big body pillows with pictures of an anime girl on them. It's like you're hugging the real thing! The next level up is this, the hug me pillow.
Who doesn't want a limp, zombie-like arm around them while they sleep? I'd be afraid that I'd forget about the pillow in the middle of the night and get freaked out. When you're not expecting a hand next to you, it's the last thing you want to wake up next to. That's why I sleep with my trusty guard cats. They will always let me know if danger is around, or if it's just one of my many mannequins.
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.
