I've always been confused by 'Empire' because it always seemed like it was some sort of TV sequel to 'Hustle and Flow,' but I could never figure out if it was one. That's on me for not doing even the most basic research, but what can you do? I can't know about EVERY show. It's safe to say that 'Empire' is a massive hit though, and although its hit a story lull, the characters are so top notch that it's still worth watching.
If this is your first time watching the series, it may be a bit much to get into. There are other, better shows to go back and binge watch, so I might not even suggest that. For long standing fans of the show, of course you'll be tuning you. You have to get your cookie fix.
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.
