If you're not familiar with the characters of Captain Marvel or Carol Danvers you soon will be; there's a 'Captain Marvel' movie on the way this year, and the early signs suggest that it's going to be a blockbuster. Here's Danvers in comic book form and looking truly resplendent.
The story behind how Danvers became Captain Marvel is a little complicated, so we'll break down the basic facts for you. Once upon a time, Captain Marvel was a man named Mar-Vell, and Danvers was Ms. Marvel. Then Mar-Vell died, and Danvers decided that the best way to pay tribute to Mar-Vell was to become Marvel, and so she took on the mantle and became the new Captain Marvel. She paid tribute to her own past as a pilot in the Air Force when she designed her outfit, and made sure she didn't put her underwear outside her pants. That was an unfortunate style choice that Mar-Vell shared with Superman.
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.
