If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Well, if you live in her local area, you might find yourself picking up the phone to pop megastar Lady Gaga before trying to get in touch with the Ghostbusters. She has all the equipment you need to find out whether you're living in a haunted house.
Gaga is a big believer in all things paranormal - she believes her dead aunt's spirit lives inside her, for a start - and she won't take any risks about buying haunted properties or staying in haunted hotel rooms. She spent $34,000 on a special machine which scans the electromagnetic spectrum and apparently tells her whether there are any malevolent spirits present before she settles in. She takes all the kit with her when she goes on tour, and also pays for a team of people who know how to use it. They assess her room before she sets foot in it. Better safe than sorry, we suppose.
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.
