We've already seen his sister's academic career, so it would feel rude to leave Jake Gyllenhaal off the list. Unsurprisingly, he and his sister attended the same university. She undertook a wide ranging and complex set of qualifications, and he actually took the same courses - Eastern religions and philosophy. He didn't have quite the same enthusiasm. Within a year, he'd dropped out to pursue acting full time.
Gyllenhaal's parents were happy for him to chase his dream - after all, they were all performers themselves - but insisted that he worked to support himself in order to ensure he'd stay serious and committed to his training. As a result, he worked as a bus boy and a lifeguard to bring in money. He is on record as saying that one day he'd like to return to university and finish the degree. He just hasn't quite got around to it yet!
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.
