Delicious Daily Treats That Are Beneficial To Your Health

Black/Charcoal Lemonade:

I promise you this one is much scarier looking than it actually is. It’s basically lemonade with charcoal powder added. The charcoal obviously changes the color, and the texture just a bit (always mix it well), but it does not affect the taste so much, and that’s what’s important. Have you heard stories about people going to the hospital due to alcohol poisoning or drug use and them having charcoal pumped into their stomach? While it does not necessarily absorb the alcohol, it acts as a magnet and rapidly draws out toxins. Thing is, it’s not just good for hospital use

Benefits:

  • Besides treating alcohol poisoning, it can prevent hangovers. So consume some before and after a night, and the next today to speed up the recovery process. Also great in emergencies in the event that a toxin or chemical is accidentally ingested.
  • Alleviates gas and bloating. Consumption before a gas-producing meal will cause the charcoal to “bind” to the gas producing elements and prevent it all together.
  • Reduce joint pain, by removing toxins from your body.
  • Anti-aging. It prevents cellular damage to liver and kidneys by cleansing the toxins
  • Reduces high cholesterol just as effectively as some prescription medication.

So basically, it’s an all around toxin magnet, and cleansing our body routinely of harmful toxins is crucial to our health and energy levels. Just one tip, avoid taking it within 90 minutes of any supplements or medications.

Here is a recipe I use for Black Lemonade. It makes 2 servings, so I like to store one in a Mason jar in the fridge for the following day.

  • 1/2 tsp activated black charcoal powder
  • 1 Liter of water
  • 4 tablespoons of hot water
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon agave
  • 1 tablespoon organic honey

Combine the hot water with the honey and agave until it’s in liquid form. Then mix that with the other ingredients and whisk until well combined in a large measuring/batter bowl. Enjoy!

I moved to Los Angeles 7 years ago for music but ended up in fashion. That's just how things fall into place, sometimes! I had always been in front of the camera, but I felt like I would be better utilized behind it, so that's how my love for fashion started. I started styling celebrities for events, then editorials for magazines, and eventually, major AD campaigns. My primary focus now is being the brand ambassador for Fashionisers, sharing my knowledge with the world to help each person be the best, fashion-forward self they can be.
