Meredith Quill isn't the biggest character in the Marvel universe by far, but if you start to tally up her actions, then you realize she's done some pretty important things. For one, she's the mother of Peter Quill, also known as Starlord. Without her, there would be no Starlord, which in turn means no Guardians of the Galaxy. Shout out to the moms. There's no harder, or more important job. Seriously. There would be no humans without them.
Secondly, she was able to seduce a god into falling in love with her. You have to be some kind of special woman for Ego, a spiritual being of immense power, to find you after eons of travel and think, "this is the girl for me." That's more romantic than Romeo and Juliet. It's just as tragic, considering both of them ultimately die alone and without each other, but much more romantic.
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.
