'Pulp Fiction' and 'Grease' star John Travolta just tore up the rule book and threw it out of the window when he had this $2.7m home built in Ocala, Florida. Nothing about it looks like it goes with anything else, and the blueprint must be quite the thing to see. We're trying to guess which part of the house goes where, but there's just not any clues in looking at it from this angle.
The two things that do stand out are obvious, though. The picture's sense of scale comes from his own private plane, which he has casually parked outside the house like it's just another car. Did you spot the second one, though? It's hiding away on the other side of the image. Travolta both takes off and lands in his Boeing 707 from home, and so there's a private runway built on the land.
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.
