Fridman acting like a friendly uncle to girls who have appearance insecurities isn't a one-off; he's been known to do it whenever he gets a request from someone who seems insecure. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having freckles - hundreds of millions of people have them - but they're the sort of thing you can get teased about at school. We imagine that's what must have happened to make a girl this young go looking to Fridman for help.
Again, Fridman decided to put Photoshop down, and give her some real talk. As he says, she'd look less unique without her freckles, and so she should accept them as a part of her. Mockery doesn't get to us if we're confident about who we are, so hopefully, this little confidence boost allowed her to look at her freckles in a new light.
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.
