Jon Bon Jovi, front man of the band that bears his surname, certainly isn't 'Living On A Prayer'. A lifetime of hit album after hit album has given him a personal fortune that will last 'Always'. With a personal fortune like his, we imagine that life is pretty much always a 'Bed of Roses'.
It's often the case with musicians that they lose their appeal as they get older, but it looks like Bon Jovi's fans have managed to 'Keep the Faith' and stick it out with him for the long term. His stardom transcends music, and has led to some acting work, appearing on hit TV shows like 'Ally McBeal' and even a couple of movie credits. Beat this for trivia though; his first work as a recording artist was as a guest singer on a 'Star Wars' Christmas album.
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.
