The 'Fast and Furious' film franchise is taking the year off - sort of. Although there's no new entry in the main film franchise, we do have the spin off 'Hobbs and Shaw' slated for release on August 2nd. Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are reprising their roles in what's sure to be one of the year's biggest action movies.
We don't know how much driving or racing will do with the plot but considering who's in the film it would be impossible to imagine there won't be several fight scenes. The making of the movie was a controversial process, with some in the 'Fast & Furious' franchise feeling that Johnson and Statham were taking money out of their co-stars pockets by holding up the regular franchise to make a movie of their own, so we hope they'll both feel like it was worth it when all is said and done. We're sure the box office receipts will make up for any awkwardness.
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.
