"I'm very grateful that I had work to do. I may have thrown myself off a building." - Madonna on her divorce from Guy Ritchie.
There's no doubt that Madonna is a larger than life personality. She's Madonna, after all. I can't imagine it being easy to be married to someone who is so grandiose and important to the world. The only person who had a shot was Guy Ritchie, who is a big personality in his own right. Their relationship problems were exacerbated after Madonna fell from a horse and severely injured herself. Guy wasn't used to seeing the all-mighty Madonna in a vulnerable position, so he wasn't there for her. That was only the beginning, as Madonna would eventually have an affair with Alex Rodriguez after her and Guy Ritchie became so emotionally distant that there was no more spark in their relationship.
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.
