In a lot of households, parents are wary of their children pursuing careers in the performing arts because of the limited chances of success. For Ashley Judd, the reserve was true. She comes from a whole family of successful actors and singers. When you take that into account, her educational career could almost be seen as an act of rebellion.
Judd is probably one of the most educated actors in the world. While at the University of Kentucky, she completed a major in French, and also obtained minors in Women's Studies, Art, Theater and Anthropology. She then moved on to Harvard to study law, where she received the Dean's Scholar Award for her work along the lines of law and justice where it relates to gender violence. She may not have pursued a career in law, but her interests may explain why she's always maintained an interest in humanitarian and political causes alongside her career.
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.
