Kravitz... why does that name sound familiar? Maybe you've heard of world famous guitarist and musician, Lenny Kravitz? That's her father. If you don't know him for his music (which is like, whaaat?) then you may remember his man parts coming out of his jeans during a concert a few years ago. It was a BIG news story, if you know what I mean. I'm usually pretty annoyed by nepotism in the entertainment industry, but Zoe Kravitz kills it every time she's on screen, so she gets a pass.
If you haven't seen some of her other work, I'd suggest checking it out. She's fantastic in 'Big Little Lies,' and in that show she's acting opposite Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and Laura Dern to name a few. If you can look good while acting alongside them, then you've got it.
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.
