Many of our male readers will have grown up with posters of Angelina Jolie stuck to their walls. Jolie has been universally recognized as one of the most beautiful women in the world for the best part of twenty years, with iconic looks that have made her the female lead of many movies. She's still growing up in this picture, and she doesn't yet radiate the confidence that she'd obtain a few short years later, but you can see she's still well on her way.
As we'll see with a few of the leading ladies on our list, Jolie has chosen a prom night outfit that wouldn't look out of place at a classy wedding. Even if you weren't sure at first glance that this was a picture of her, those famous lips give it away. Looking at this picture is like seeing a photo of a friend from before you met them; you can tell it's the same person, but they're just slightly unfamiliar. This starry-eyed girl had no idea of the greatness she'd go on to achieve!
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.
