Of all the firms that you could want to have family ties to, Samsung would have to be considered pretty high on the list. The Korean company are one of the world's biggest, and make more money in an hour than most people make in a year. Lee Seo-Hyun is the daughter of the company's chairman Lee Kun-Hee, and she's entered the family business. She doesn't touch any of the electronic products, however.
Not many people know that Samsung also has a fashion arm known as C&T. It's Seo-Hyun's job to make more people aware of that fact now that she's President of that arm. If she's successful, she'll surely build on her current net worth, which stands at $2bn. All the signs suggest that she'll do fine; she prepared for the role by studying at Parsons School of Design in New York. Seo-Hyun's brother and sister are also active within different areas of Samsung, which makes for an interesting debate in the future about who gets to inherit the firm.
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.
