Featured in over three dozen big screen productions to-date, Amanda Seyfried actually started her acting career off on the small screen as a series regular on the soap opera "As the World Turns". Born in Pennsylvania on December 3, 1985, she was enrolled in university in the fall of 2003 but decided not to attend post-secondary after she was offered a supporting role in the movie "Mean Girls" alongside Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan.
Amanda Seyfried has been featured on many "Beautiful/Hot" lists over the years. And no wonder, with her classic good looks that don't seem to change as the years go by. But she's not just a pretty face, lending her superb acting abilities to such projects as "Mamma Mia!" alongside Meryl Streep, and "Dear John", co-starring alongside Channing Tatum. In an ironic twist, Seyfried has experienced anxiety and panic attacks, and also has stage fright. Not something you'd expect from such a prolific actress. But you'd never know it watching her myriad performances on-screen!
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.
