Imagine taking an elevator ride to the place where you go to every day - perhaps you work in a high-rise office building. Okay, to be honest, looking at the guy's outfit and tattoos, he's probably in the building looking to get a gig as a stuntman or something. Anyway, he was in the elevator when of all the people out there, Nicholas Cage entered the elevator.
Not only was Nicholas nice enough to have a conversation with him, but the two even took a photo together. Nicholas seems to be busy working on his iPhone 5 (this is an old photo after all), but he still took the time to pose with his fan. Not many celebrities are this understand and open-minded about communication with their fans - especially not in elevators.
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.
