Ringwald continues to act through to this day; she was very young when she first found fame, and even now is only 51. She took a short break from performing between 2000 and 2006 to focus on raising her family; she's now the mother of three children with her writer husband Panio Gianopoulos.
Ringwald has spoken of the pressure she felt being so famous at such a young age; she felt like she had a responsibility to be a good role model for other teenagers, and so avoided the party lifestyle that many of her young co-stars embraced. That may go some way to explaining why she's aged so well! Her most recent widely-seen work was a year-long stint on 'Riverdale,' but she's also been happy to show us the fun side of her personality on 'RuPaul's Drag Race' and 'Drop the Mic', where she battled John Cryer.
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.
