Gemma Arterton is an example of an actress who actively didn't want the role of Wonder Woman. Why wouldn't someone want to play Wonder Woman? You'd have to understand that before Gal Gadot's 'Wonder Woman' came out, no one was sure what a Wonder Woman movie would look or feel like. There were plenty of reasons to be nervous about the movie. For one thing, no one knew how empowering the movie would end up being to women. The character was handled incredibly well. Gemma, being a vocal critic on the portrayal of women in film, wasn't keen on playing the sexy hero.
Gemma had good reason to be skeptical. 'Wonder Woman' could have easily been a sexy, male-driven fantasy, but it wasn't. Good on Gemma for sticking to her guns, even if it would have been a great move for her.
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.
