When you step back and think about it, acting is actually quite a strange profession. Your job is to basically live inside someone else's skin for hours or days at a time, and convince anybody watching that you're a completely different person. You're essentially being paid to lie to people!
There's a lot that goes into giving a convincing performance as an actor. You might be required to speak in a language or accent that isn't your own, for example. More intimately, you might be asked to kiss someone you'd never normally dream of kissing, and pretending to like it.
Even for the best actors in the world, the 'pretending to like it' part isn't always possible. You might not like your co-star. Your co-star might have terrible hygiene. There might be ethical issues to consider. Every star on this list said 'no' to kissing in front of the cameras!
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.
