Did anybody else use to get nightmares about the vicious dog in '90s film, The Sandlot? We definitely did! But besides all of the scary dog issues, we loved it. A classic coming-of-age movie that always brings back some nostalgia. Plus, it has baseball! If you were a fan of The Sandlot, you will absolutely remember Patrick Renna, who played the ginger-haired, freckled face Hamilton "Ham" Porter. You know the one!
Though Renna didn't completely disappear off the entertainment scene, he tended to only book small roles on television. He has appeared in Hell's Kitchen, X-Files, ER, and Bones, amongst others. His prime focus also switched from acting to religion. Renna is a pretty passionate Scientologist and speaks publicly about the organization regularly. He is married to Jasmin Renna and they have one child together.
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.
