Even the mere mention of Colombia conjures up images of fiery, salsa-dancing beauties. In the South American country renowned for its beautiful women, more than a few men have met their match. Growing up in the sultry Caribbean region of Colombia, Sofia Vergara does not buck the beautiful trend. And after star turns in various Hollywood films, she's landed in America to tame a whole new race of men.
It's no secret, too, that Colombians love to get dolled up, and Sofia is rarely seen with less-than-perfect makeup. It's so infrequent, in fact, that when she doesn't have it on, she looks like a completely different person. Gone is the gloss, the highlights, and the sparkling eyes. Deep down, though, she's still a hot Colombian. She's still extremely attractive with or without makeup.
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.
