Keira Knightley may seem like a bit of a laughable choice. Think about it. She's not exactly known for being rough and tumble. The last time she seemed tough at all in a film was 'Bend It Like Beckham.' She's a fantastic actress, especially when in period pieces, but her action star qualities are questionable. She was in the movie 'Domino' about a female bounty hunter, and the movie is actually pretty good, but she still seems like a stiff wind could knock her down.
Her star power and acting skill could be enough to land her the role, and it's not as if she's without action movie merits. As I mentioned, she was in the movie 'Domino,' and there's also her work in 'Pirates of the Caribbean' which has its fair share of action.
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.
