What do you imagine Jennifer Lawrence was up to during her high school years when you look at this picture? Head cheerleader, perhaps? Prom Queen? Girlfriend of the head jock? It would be easy to imagine such a thing, but nothing could be further than the truth. Lawrence is smiling through the pain here. She says she suffered badly from both insecurity and anxiety when she was at school, and actually turned to acting as a way of getting over it. The profession has benefited from that decision.
The actor, nicknamed J-Law by the press, has been a big deal for such a long time now that it's almost surprising to hear that she wasn't a household name until she made the 'Hunger Games' films. The crowning moment of her career so far was when she picked up the 'Best Actress' Oscar for 'Silver Linings Playbook' in 2015, but the smart money says she'll pick that award up at least one more time before she calls it a day.
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.
