Well, here we are at the end of another year. 2018 is preparing to give way to 2019, and the final lists for next year's awards ceremonies are already being drawn up in the movie world. When we look back, 2018 actually produced some excellent films. What caught your eye this year?
Was it "Black Panther"? "Avengers: Infinity War" (which we're still not over the end of, by the way), or "Ocean's 8"? Something a little more offbeat like "Ready Player One"? Whatever your favorite choices were, they're all done and dusted now, and we're ready for another fantastic year of film.
Gone are the days where you could record something in February and release it in September; modern movies take years to film and produce, and so every major release due out next year is already known. Sequels, prequels and totally new ideas; we've identified the very best of them all, and whether you should watch them, or skip them.
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.
