To say that celebrated actor Julianne Moore moved home a few times during her childhood would be something of an understatement. Because of her father's active military career, the family would move 23 times before Moore left home. She was even born at Fort Bragg, in North Carolina! Because she never had roots anywhere and couldn't form long-lasting relationships with any of her childhood friends, Moore describes herself as something of a loner as a child.
Perhaps because of her difficult upbringing, Moore has displayed a superb ability to play troubled women during her professional career. She's capable of playing comedic roles, but seems to find more fulfillment in more serious acting parts in movies like 'Children of Men,' 'The Kids Are All Right,' and 'Maps to the Stars.' Her crowning moment arrived in 2015, when she won the 'Best Actress' Oscar for 'Still Alice,' in which she played a woman suffering from early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
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.
