Lucille Ball was an actress, model, and comedian. She also has some claim to being the most famous woman called 'Lucy' of all time. That's partially because of her habit of using her abbreviated first name in the title of many of her shows, including 'I Love Lucy,' 'The Lucy Show' and 'Here's Lucy.' At least the audience was always very clear on what they were getting.
Ball's career had faded somewhat by the 1980s, but she was still attempting to make a comeback right up until the point of her death. Her final public appearance, captured here in this photograph, was at the 1989 Academy Awards on March 29th of that year. Less than one month later on April 26th, she suffered an aortic heart rupture while at her home, and died instantly at the age of 78.
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.
