Instead of having 40 as a starting age for having a family in her head, actor Jennifer Connelly seems to have had it as a cutoff point! She'd already had a child with husband Paul Bettany before turning 40, and when she had her third, daughter Agnes Lark, at exactly forty years old, she knew straight away that she was done giving birth.
Speaking to Allure magazine shortly after the birth of her youngest child, she said 'I knew we were going to be done after number three. That's enough for us'. In our experience, that's enough for most people! Fourteen years separate Connelly's three children; she had her first with photographer David Dugan in 1997, years before meeting Bettany. They've had two children since marrying; the first being born in 2003 only two years after they met, working on the movie 'A Beautiful Mind'.
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.
