Camera Ashe was born to one of the greatest tennis players of all time in Arthur Ashe, but it was actually her mother's profession which gave her the name she's had to live with. Jeanne Moutoussamy, who married Ashe in 1977, was a noted and popular photographer. We don't doubt that she loves her job, but that doesn't excuse naming a daughter after an inanimate object!
'Camera' isn't actually the name that the 33-year-old was born with. Her mother and father adopted her in 1986. Nobody - probably including her - knows what her birth name was, but it wouldn't be outrageous to suggest that it was something a little more conventional than 'Camera.' We suppose it could have been worse, though; she could have been named 'photo,' 'film' or 'lens.' If she'd been born into a different era, she might even have been branded as 'Instagram'!
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.
