Some barbers use sparkling water for its potential benefits in hair care. It's believed to help clarify hair by removing residue and product build-up, enhancing volume and texture. The carbonation in sparkling water can also provide a deeper clean compared to regular water, potentially leading to shinier, healthier-looking hair and scalp by balancing pH levels and reducing irritation from common scalp issues[3][4].
However, not all experts agree on its effectiveness. Some professionals maintain that using club soda, akin to regular water, offers no significant advantages for hair[2].

The croissant is named for its crescent shape, as the French word 'croissant' literally means 'crescent of the moon'. Historically, its name evolved from Anglo-French and Old French roots and ultimately derives from the Latin 'crescere', reflecting notions of growth and the waxing moon. French bakers have maintained this symbolic name over time, celebrating the pastry's iconic, curved form that pays homage to its historical origins.

Yerba mate, also known simply as mate, is an herbal tea made from the leaves of the plant Ilex paraguariensis, which is native to South America. The beverage is prepared by steeping dried leaves in hot water and can also be served cold. Like black or green tea, yerba mate contains caffeine, which can enhance alertness and focus[2][6].
Traditionally, yerba mate is served in a hollowed-out gourd and sipped through a metal straw known as a bombilla[4]. It is recognized for its unique beverage experience, providing energy and a smooth boost due to the combined presence of caffeine, theobromine, and polyphenols[4]. In addition to being popular in South America, yerba mate has gained recognition and consumption in other regions, including the United States and Europe[6].
While generally safe for most adults when consumed in moderation, excessive intake—around 1 to 2 liters per day—has been linked to an increased cancer risk in some studies, especially when combined with smoking or alcohol[2]. It is advisable for individuals, particularly those who are pregnant or taking medications, to consult a healthcare provider before consuming yerba mate[2].
Overall, yerba mate is well-regarded for its stimulating effects and cultural significance, particularly in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay[1].

Sweet corn may appear undigested in stool primarily because of its outer shell made of cellulose, which humans cannot break down. While the starchy interior is digested effectively, the tough outer layer often survives the digestive process and exits the body intact[1][6].
Additionally, factors like not chewing the corn well or consuming it too quickly can result in undigested pieces appearing in stool. A high fiber diet, including sweet corn, can also lead to some food passing through the digestive system without complete breakdown[2][5].
