Jennifer Aniston may have made her name with the sitcom 'Friends,' but she doesn't appear to have too many friends in celebrity circles these days. Aniston was rumored to behave like a total diva on the set of 'Life of Crime,' refusing to eat or socialize with the rest of the crew and insisting that her trailer was located some distance from everybody else. She's also admitted that she's a 'control freak,' which has caused some directors to refuse to work with her after experiencing her behavior on set.
If Aniston is a little frosty and remote with other people in the industry, it would appear she's a little warmer with the world at large. Her support of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital has persisted throughout her career, with a portion of her earnings from every job she takes going to them. She's also donated half a million dollars to the Red Cross, and a further half a million to 'Doctors Without Borders.'
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.
