When you see the rugged, bearded face of Zach Galifianakis, your thoughts probably turn to 'The Hangover' straight away. His character is the troublemaker who tends to trigger the gang's regrettable escapades, and we've had a lot of fun watching him do it. Earning that part wasn't a sudden rise to the top for Galifianakis, though - it was the culmination of years of on-screen entertainment work which started with his own 'Comedy Central Presents' show back in 2001.
Because the internet is everywhere these days, you don't need to be on television or in a currently-screening movie to entertain your fans. He's won Emmy Awards for 'Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis,' and that's a show which is only available through the 'Funny or Die' website! You'll still see him at the movie theater though - film roles seem to be coming in thicker and faster for the 5-foot 7 actor than ever before.
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.
