We're back in 'obvious' territory here. We expect most of you would have been able to pick this as a picture of Chris Pratt if it was presented to you in a line-up. This confident-looking young man was always destined for stardom, but if things had gone another way, we might have seen him in WWE ring as opposed to a cinema screen - Pratt was a gifted wrestler. Perhaps money turned his head - in his yearbook quote, he said that he didn't care what he did when he grew up so long as it made him rich and famous.
As a good-looking tough guy, Pratt is a natural choice for any macho roles that come up - such as his turn in the most recent revival of 'Jurassic Park,' or as 'Star-Lord,' in 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' But it hasn't always been that way. Before he was as ripped as he is now, Pratt was making us laugh with his performances in the much-missed sitcom 'Parks and Recreation.'
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.
