Luna Lovegood is a real "love her or hate her" character, and that debate still goes on within Harry Potter fandom to this day. Whatever you thought of her, Luna was very different as a character, managing to stand out as strange even in a film franchise packed full of strange people. We can credit Evanna Lynch with bringing that to the role with her performance.
Lynch was a huge Harry Potter fan long before the films were even made, and credits J.K. Rowling with helping to save her life. Hospitalized with anorexia at just eleven years old, Lynch wrote to the author as a fan, and received a response back that was handwritten from Rowling, in which she described the disease as "destructive, not creative", which she credits with kick-starting her recovery. After that, securing an acting role within the Harry Potter franchise and working with Rowling in the future must have been her destiny.
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.
