Remember that bit in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince", where Harry and Dumbledore are meeting in a cafe, and Harry gets a little awestruck by the waitress? That's Elarica Johnson. She didn't have a major role in the films, but she made just as big an impression on some viewers as she did on Harry.
Johnson also sometimes works under the name "Elarica Gallacher", and is still pushing to get her TV career started. One of her bigger recent successes was landing a part in "Strike", which is based on J.K Rowling's novel "Cuckoo's Calling". We'd like to believe that J.K. herself made that casting decision. She's also appeared on long running British soap opera "Eastenders", but she may be just as well known for her smoldering hot Instagram account, which shows that she spends a lot of time on vacation and looking fabulous.
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.
