Did you think we were done with the live action Disney films for 2019? Absolutely not, they're going for the hat-trick with 'The Lion King'. If you're on social media, you've probably already seen the widely-shared images of Simba and Mufasa from the movie, who look photo realistic.
This movie is slated for release on July 19th, which is the precise 25-year anniversary of the original 'Lion King' film from 1994. In a connection between the two takes in the story, James Earl Jones reprises his role as Mufasa, which makes him the only on-screen performer to work on both versions of the story, although Hans Zimmerman is also back as composer, and Elton John is once again working on the soundtrack. Plenty of nostalgia, along with a modern perspective. We hope at least some of the songs from the original turn up as well. If 'I Wanna Be Like You' isn't in it, is it really 'The Lion King'?
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.
