Not so long ago, everybody was very worried about Amanda Bynes. She'd grown up as a talented, attractive and popular teen TV and movie star, but her life seemed to be heading out of control. She was accused of having drink and drug issues, and some of her behavior on social media suggested she was having mental health issues.
Happily, she's now in a much better place, and it seems she had to take a few paces away from the acting world to find it. Bynes found therapy through education and hopes to reinvent herself as a fashion designer after she completes her course at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in California. We're happy for her that she's getting her life back on track. We suspect that Drake is just happy that he doesn't have to log onto Twitter anymore and break into a sweat before he opens his DMs.
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.
