And what an actress she's become. While it was a huge break for her at the time - she was 23 years old and hadn't been in a movie or TV show before it - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was only the first stepping stone in a huge career. From outstanding roles in Felicity, Saved By The Bell, and ER in the 90s, to being a star in Flashpoint, The Division, and Covert Affairs, she's rarely off the small screen.
She's just as comfortable on the big screen, too, with over 20 films to her name. This year, in fact, she even produced, written, directed, and starred in her own film, a drama called The Space Between. Not to mention that fact that she's musically gifted, too, with three albums under her belt as a singer-songwriter. Basically, there's nothing this girl can't do.
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.
