We spoke about Igor Larionov before, but he has a second daughter, so we get to talk about him all over again! The great thing about that is that I have a fun fact about the family. Both daughter, Alyonka and Diana, have had dreams of having a music career. While you may not find their music on the Billboard top 100, all it takes is a quick Google search and you can find their Christmas song. That's right, the family recorded a Christmas song called "What Christmas Means to Me." The reason they made the song was to donate to Hockey Fights Cancer.
You can be the judge whether or not she has the chops to be the next Britney Spears by paying ninety nine cents to download the song. Maybe wait until December though.
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.
