Actor and model Garcelle Beauvais, best known for her work on 'the Jamie Foxx' show and 'NYPD Blue', really had to fight to become a mother for the second time. She had no problem conceiving in 1991, when she was 25, during her first marriage to producer Daniel Saunders. Trying again during her second marriage to talent agent Mike Nilon was a much more arduous process.
The couple battled miscarriages and fertility problems for a long time but were eventually rewarded in 2007 when she had twins Jax and Jaid at the age of 40. She said that once she'd actually had the twins, motherhood was easier in her 40s than it was in her 20s because she was less worried about the potential impact it might have on her career. Regrettably, it later transpired that Nilon had been having an affair before, during and after the birth of the children, and they filed for divorce in 2010.
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.
