Jake Gyllenhaal has been known to date some of entertainment's biggest female stars, including Reese Witherspoon, Kirsten Dunst, and Taylor Swift, but he's better known for his part in 'Brokeback Mountain' than anything else he's ever done in his life or career. He already had a great reputation in the movie world before this film, but the part hugely enhanced his status.
The relationship on screen between himself and Heath Ledger was utterly captivating and convincing. Gyllenhaal became conflicted rancher Jack Twist before our eyes and showed us every flickering second of his character's doubts and torments. The bond between the two men grew so strong in real life that Gyllenhaal went on to become the real-life godfather to Ledger's daughter! The ole won Gyllenhaal an Oscar nomination, and many believe he should have gone home with the award.
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.
