Tom Hanks has to be considered as one of the best character actors of his - or any - generation. The versatile performer has delivered world-class performances in almost every role he's ever been given, committing himself entirely to his performance and earning plenty of acclaim in the process.
One of the best examples of that would be in the part of Andrew Beckett in the seminal movie 'Philadelphia' in 1993. The impactful film was loosely based on the true story of lawyer Geoffrey Bowers, a lawyer with AIDS who was fired from his job and went on to sue for wrongful dismissal and discrimination. It's one of Hanks' all-time best performances, and one which won him an Oscar, so nobody could deny that he was the best choice for the job. In real life, Hanks has been married to Rita Wilson since the late 1980s.
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.
