Many of us wish we could live the lifestyle of a rich and famous celebrity, with all the glamour and luxury that goes with it. The exotic lives of the stars are thrust at us every day from the pages of glossy magazines, and television entertainment shows. It looks great!
In reality, though, life as a star isn't as rosy as it sometimes seems. A jet set lifestyle attracts jet set prices, and even the biggest stars can't be sure they're going to stay rich forever. If their work dries up, or they make poor financial decisions, everything can change.
All of the big names you'll see on this list were once riding high at the crest of a wave, only to see their luck change and their worlds come crashing down around them. It all goes to show that below the surface, not everything is always as it seems.
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.
