At just nine years old, Rider Strong was well on his way to a prosperous career in acting. He appeared on stage as Gavroche in the San Francisco production of Les Miserables and soon after landed the role of Julie Andrews's son in Julie. But his best-known work was most definitely as Shawn Hunter in the television series, Boy Meets World. He starred on the show for seven years and also appeared in the spin off, Girl Meets Boy.
In terms of acting roles, Strong never really managed to outdo his Boy Meets World gig. He did star in the horror film, Cabin Fever, but started turning to off screen jobs after that. He has written, directed, and starred in various short films and has enjoyed some pretty impressive success in the entertainment industry as an adult.
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.
