We all met her when she was eleven years old and portraying the one and only Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Emma Watson then went on to play the same character in the remaining seven Harry Potter films, which set her career up in a big way. Though she made more than enough money from the Harry Potter franchise, Watson continued to star in blockbuster films, cementing her career as a serious actress.
Most actors who are known for playing one character can fall into the trap of never working outside of that role again - but not Watson. Since Harry Potter, she has starred in My Week with Marilyn, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Bling Ring, Noah, Beauty and the Beast, Regression, Colonia, and The Circle. She's also a feminist activist with the United Nations.
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.
