Where you start in life is not necessarily where you're going to end up. Margarita Louis-Dreyfus spent time in an orphanage as a child. Now, she's one of the world's richest women with a personal fortune of more than $10bn. Marrying Robert Louis-Dreyfus is the primary reason for her wealth, although she was already doing well in business herself as an electronics retailer.
When her husband passed away prematurely due to leukemia, Louis-Dreyfus was left with almost his entire estate, including his businesses. She decided to run them instead of selling them, and has seen them continue to grow under her stewardship. Along with her second husband Philipp Hildebrand, she's shown interests in sport as well as business; they used to own French football giants Marseille. If her last name is familiar to you, it may be because you're aware of her distant relative, the American actress and 'Veep' star Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
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.
