Salma Hayek, star of the acting world, suspected that she might be facing an uphill battle to conceive when she decided, at 41, that she wanted a baby. She'd more or less accepted that she'd been to undergo some form of fertility treatment; and then it turned out she didn't at all. She conceived her daughter, Valentina, naturally, and became a mother in 2009.
That's not to say that she had an easy time with the pregnancy. As can sometimes happen, Hayek contracted gestational diabetes whilst she was with-child, which can cause complications and requires medical treatment. Despite that, she has no regrets; she once told the website WebMD that she was a better person at 41 than she was at 31, and had she become pregnant at the younger age she doesn't believe she'd have been a good mother.
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.
