Christina had a terrible childhood. Her parents and grandparents were worried about her lack of self-esteem - something that is normal at that age. What is not normal is the precautionary steps they took the help "improve" her confidence. What her parents did was commission her grandad to do a painting of Christina. The painting came out completely wrong, making her look 50 years old and with graying hair. Luckily, she didn't have wrinkles added to her face.
Hopefully, the family didn't decide to keep the painting on a wall in their house - if they did that, Christina would probably never invite any of her friends over - the shame would be simply too much. The smartest thing she could do in a situation like this is to make the photo just "magically" disappear. Perhaps some "thief" stole it in the middle of the night.
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.
