One of the joys of having enough money to buy a small palace is that you can move all of your close family in with you, if you want to do so. Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen did, and so they went looking for somewhere that had the right about of space and all the luxury facilities they'd need. They found it in Brentwood, just outside Los Angeles, with a price tag of $27m.
When the couple touched down, if you'll excuse the pun, they found a 22,000 square foot mansion boasting eight bedrooms, a lagoon-shaped pool, a wine cellar and a state of the art gym for Brady to train in. The facilities must be great, considering he's still active in the NFL at 41 years old. The couple actually moved their families in before they arrived themselves, but they and their son Benjamin are now happily resident in the mansion too.
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.
