Khloe might be one of the less outspoken (and less outrageous) members of the Kardashian circus, but that doesn't mean she's not every bit as successful as her sisters. The 32-year-old entrepreneur has made more than a few lifetimes' worth of cash with clothing, jewelry, and fragrance lines - not to mention being a radio personality and co-host on The X Factor. And, of course, that reality TV show that made her name.
Her most singular achievement, though, might be marrying NBA star Lamar Odom only a month after meeting him for the first time. One month! There must have been some magic in the air. Or maybe it's just that she looks so gosh darn cute. Even without makeup, when most of us look like a bad passport photo, she's still someone you want to snuggle up to on the sofa. Other people might make rude appearances, but we're not going to. We'll just bring the popcorn and some blankets.
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.
