It's easy to claim that Jennifer Lawrence's fame and fortune are a result of her amazing beauty. But you would be underestimating this Indian Hills, Kentucky native's ability to impress both off-screen and on-screen. After a talent scout spotted 14-year-old Lawrence while she was in New York City, she landed a handful of movie roles before starring as Mystique in 2011's "X-Men: First Class".
Lawrence's fame continued to grow when she starred as the leading character Katniss Everdeen in the popular "Hunger Games" film series from 2012-2015, based on the trilogy of dystopian novels written by American writer Suzanne Collins. This role gave Lawrence the title of highest-grossing action heroine of all time. In total, her films have grossed over $5-billion in worldwide box office sales. But don't let this gorgeous headshot fool you: Lawrence is a commercially successful actress that also has both the intelligence and the acting talent to go along with her world-famous good-looks.
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.
