Although retiring in 1998 and making a minor comeback three years later, Linda hasn't really turned her hand to many other projects. She knows what she's good at, and hasn't made a million fragrances, clothing lines, and TV appearances like her fellow models. Instead, she's been doing the occasional shoot and inspiring a whole new generation of glamorous ladies.
While her career might be as solid as a rock, her personal life has been quite the rollercoaster ride. She's only been married once, back in 1987 until 1993, but has dated a string of big names then, including Twin Peaks actor Kyle MacLachlan and French football player Fabian Barthez. She had a child in 2006 to a mystery father, later revealed to be billionaire François-Henri Pinault - the husband of Salma Hayek.
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.
