If you know Jami Gertz's face from any of her numerous television or film appearances over the course of the past thirty years, but don't know anything about her life away from the screen, it may surprise you that you're watching someone who has wealth somewhere in the region of two billion dollars.
Most of that doesn't come from her acting work, although we're taking nothing away from her roles in 'The Lost Boys', 'Quicksilver', 'Twister' or 'The Neighbors', she does a great job. In 1988, she married billionaire Tony Ressler, a businessman with a hugely successful private equity company. After thirty years of marriage and three children, what's his is hers and vice versa. Through this huge fortune, Gertz and her husband own the NBA team Atlanta Hawks, as well as MLB's Milwaukee Brewers. They live together in Beverley Parks, an ultra-exclusive gated community available only to the mega rich.
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.
