Posing in his school's basketball gear and trying to strike a cool pose with the ball can't hide the fact that Joe Manganiello is very much in the middle of the awkward stage as this photo is taken. That hairstyle looks like a mullet with gel in it - which is a questionable choice even for a mullet - and he's grown up faster than he's grown up. We're sure that if he went back in time, he'd tell himself not to worry about it - this boy was destined to become one of the world's most desirable men.
Manganiello first smoldered his way onto the screen in 'True Blood' as Alcide Herveaux, before showing the world what he was hiding under his shirt in the 'Magic Mike' series of films. We imagine that one of the people watching those films was Sofia Vergara, because she's since married him. He's got brains to go with the looks, though - he both directed and produced the documentary movie 'La Bare' in 2014.
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.
