Chrissy Teigen is more of a citizen of the world than she is a native of any particular country or state. She was born in Delta, Utah to a Thai mother and a Norwegian father, and didn't settle in Utah for long. Her father's work as an electrician took him all around the United States of America for work, but it was as a teenager in California that Teigen was first spotted by a photographer. At the time she was a high school cheerleader, but was working part-time in a surf shop.
Her highest-profile television work has been as the co-host of 'Lip Sync Battle,' although she'll shortly be giving Judge Judy a run for her money with her new show 'Chrissy's Court.' When she's not modeling or presenting television shows she's busy in the kitchen: Teigen is an accomplished chef, and has published a New York Times best-selling cookbook called 'Cravings.'
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.
