It's hard thinking of anyone more inspiring than Oprah Winfrey. She is one of the most successful businesswomen in the world, and one of the wealthiest, too. On top of this, everybody loves her. For years, her talk show was the most popular on the air and she has also starred in various films to much critical acclaim. Celebrities love her too and would choose to tell their very intimate stories on her show.
Maybe they felt comfortable with Oprah because of what she has been through. As a child in Milwaukee, she suffered from sexual abuse, which she has spoken out about numerous times in order to help other victims. She now does a lot of charity work with the explicit aim of helping disadvantaged girls. We can't get over what an amazing woman she is!
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.
