Twins and sisters must be common in billionaire families because here's another pair who are enjoying their father's wealth. Norwegians Katharina and Alexandra Andresen are barely half way through their twenties, but each of them has a net worth of $1.5bn. That comes from the investment company their father owns and operates, which is known as 'Ferd.' Managing numbers and spreadsheets aren't as exciting as being a movie star, but as we're seeing time and again it's a sure-fire way of bringing in big money.
The two sisters appear to have very different ideas of what they want out of life. Katharina looks to be preparing herself to take over control of Ferd one day - she's taken on an internship with corporate giants Ernst & Young. By contrast, Alexandra is far more interested in horses. She's a professional equestrian who has won awards in many facets of the sport, dressage in particular.
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.
