Jessica Biel is one classy dame. She's helped raise awareness about the global water crisis, partnered up with a world organization to improve sexual education, and on top of all that she's a magnificently nuanced actress. And yet somehow she manages to keep the scandals to a minimum and her private life out of the public lens. Until today, we hadn't even heard that she was married to Justin Timberlake.
You can't catch her at an unguarded moment. She's always ready for the cameras, and always looking stunning. No appearance of hers leaves tongues (or fingers) wagging in disappointment and rumor. Jessica's just a wise woman with the smarts to navigate the piranha pool of entertainment reporting, and the ability to come out winning, every time.
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.
