While we're talking about legendary musicians, let's bring Prince into the picture. The tiny guitar hero is simply one of the best musicians who ever lived. Slash was incredible with a guitar, but Prince could play any instrument he laid his hands on, and do it better than almost anybody else. He wrote hundreds of songs during his life, from 'Purple Rain' to 'When Doves Cry,' and when he decided one of his creations wasn't for him, he'd sell it to somebody else. Sinead O'Connor owes her whole career to him because he gave her 'Nothing Compares 2 U.'
With his flamboyant style of dress and his slightly surly character, we can't help but wonder if Jafar from 'Aladdin' was capable of playing a few smooth licks if someone handed him a Fender Stratocaster. Both men have a definite flair for the theatrical, to say the least. We just doubt that the evil Jafar has enough love in his heart to write something as delicate and beautiful as 'Purple Rain.'
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.
