This is the man with the greatest voice in the history of acting - and yet he was nearly robbed of it before he even had the chance to show it off to the world. Just six months before this picture was taken, Freeman suffered from a bout of pneumonia. The illness would return again a year later and almost take his life. He made a full recovery and went on to begin a legendary Hollywood career, and for that, we should all be grateful. A world without Freeman scarcely bears thinking about.
It's commonly said that Freeman could read a telephone directory, and people would still happily sit and listen to it. His deep, rich voice has become his trademark, but he's also a wonderful actor with or without the voice. The best example of him using his voice and performance skills together is in his role as 'Red' in 'The Shawshank Redemption,' but he's also been called upon on more than one occasion to play God!
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.
