Sometimes, the life of an actor can become a grind. Movies don't get made quickly, and shooting can sometimes involve months away from your friends and family, working for long days, miles from home. A chance to get some time to yourself can be tempting, and that temptation was enough to persuade Matthew Goode to take the part of Declan O'Callaghan in 'Leap Year.'
Goode has been very honest about what attracted him to the part. It was the salary on offer, and the agreement that he could spend all of his weekends at home. The script didn't come into it, and he didn't particularly care for it. He views his work on the film as 'a bad job,' but at the same time, says he had fun working on it, and enjoyed the lighter schedule. It wasn't all bad!
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.
