Madonna's long history of parenthood, both natural and via adoption, is very well known. She's one of the most famous women in the world, and everything she does makes headlines, even as she enters her 60s. The Queen of Pop has six children; four of whom she has adopted, and two she gave birth to.
The first was the product of her relationship with fitness trainer Carlos Leon; her daughter Lourdes was born in 1996, when Madonna was 38. A few years later, with that relationship over, she married British film director Guy Ritchie, with whom she had her son Rocco in 2000. By that point, 'Madge' was 42. She's known to have been fiercely protective of all her children, not wanting them to grow up in the intensely focused media glare that she's been subjected to for her entire adult life.
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.
