Like so many child actors before her, Kyla Pratt started her acting career by appearing in television commercials. At age eight she was starring in Nike commercials, which is pretty high profile. If you're going to do commercials, at least make sure it's with one of the most famous brands in the world, right? She also appeared in episodes of Friends, Sister Sister, Family Matters, Lizzie McGuire, and Moesha.
Today, she is probably best known for voicing Penny Proud in the Disney animated series, The Proud Family. She did manage to score a role in a blockbuster comedy trilogy - she starred alongside Eddie Murphy in Dr. Dolittle, Dr. Dolittle 2, and Dr. Dolittle 3, as Maya Dolittle. All in all, Pratt has not done badly in the entertainment industry. Plus, she's also a professional singer.
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.
