Morgan Freeman has starred in so many movies that it's incredibly hard to imagine him on any other career path. However, there was once a time when acting wasn't this Oscar winner's passion. Obsessed with planes as a kid, Freeman dreamed of enlisting in the United States Air Force. He made the dream a reality in 1955, and even turned down a scholarship to Jackson State University in the process. Now that's dedication if ever we've seen it.
Freeman advanced in the Air Force for almost four years and rose to the rank of Airman 1st Class - a great achievement for such few years. Eventually, this Hollywood favorite left his post in order to pursue his other passion; acting. To this day, Freeman is still starring in blockbuster movies and captivating audiences with his very distinctive voice.
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.
