Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most prominent A-list celebrities and actors on the face of the planet. It was only the beginning for him as he played a mentally challenged child in What's Eating Gilbert Grape but since then he's gone to star in some of the greatest feature films of our generation in Titanic, The Revenant, and The Wolf of Wall Street.
But, we almost lost him, yep it's true ladies, the heartthrob known as Leonardo DiCaprio could have been worm food but luckily he's escaped death to provide us with top-notch on-screen entertainment. While in South Africa, Leo went shark diving but after a strong wave allowed a great white shark to enter halfway into the cage, he was only an arm's length away from being eaten alive.
Leo also, stared death in the face while skydiving. Both parachutes were too tangled to release but luckily, his diving companion was able to get a chute open in time for the two to survive but the two still suffered injury as they could have broken their legs but barrel rolled to safety causing the two to get banged up.
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.
