Whenever Christina Hendricks walks into a room, people notice. She's the sort of woman and actress for whom the term 'bombshell' was invented. She's somehow never really made it as a movie actress, but she hasn't needed to. Her appearances on 'Good Girls' and 'Mad Men' have seared her onto the hearts of many viewers - especially male ones. She's an excellent role model for girls who aren't stick-thin, too - in fact, her distinctive curves remind us of a certain famous animated legend.
When Jessica Rabbit turned out to be the star of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' back in the 1980s, it caught everybody a little off guard. Rabbit wasn't real - the film was supposed to be a vehicle for Bob Hoskins! The producers of the film had somehow managed to come up with an animated creation so attractive that she stole every scene she was in, and a generation of men was forced to uncomfortably admit that cartoons could be sexy. In terms of her famous proportions, though, she's a silhouette-for-silhouette match to Hendricks.
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.
