Now that we're getting a superhero movie every ten minutes it's hard to keep track of what's coming up. I'm sure we'll soon have a new Spiderman or two, prompting a rousing cry of "who cares?" One hero whose news came out with a big bang was Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. Brie Larson isn't who I would expect for Captain Marvel, but that's not a bad thing. She's a phenomenal actress without much of an action background, but once fans saw her in the suit, it all clicked.
I always thought the character of Captain Marvel was a little on the nose. You don't see a Captain DC, or for alliteration sake, Detective DC. It seems like that should have been the first Marvel character or else just don't create it. That's just me being a grumpy old man though. This movie is going to slay.
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.
