If you've seen the hilarious videos of Kate Upton dancing, then you'd know how down to earth she really is. Alongside an extensive and high-profile modeling career (and some very exciting Sports Illustrated shoots), she's a devout Christian and economics major. She says of her faith that she "wants a cross with me, at all times" and that she's really "close with God".
And why wouldn't you be best buds with the big man? Heaven has poured its best ingredients into creating the wonder that is Kate Upton, the fifth sexiest woman on Models.com. A figure to die for, eyes you could lose yourself in, and a perfect heart-shaped face. We think that appearing without makeup might be a strategic choice rather than a lazy one: she just doesn't want to be mobbed in the street.
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.
