Lisa Welchel wasn't forced away from stardom; she found a calling and followed that instead. We know her as Blair Warner from 'The Facts of Life,' but the facts of her own life changed completely when she met her husband Steven Cauble, who is a pastor. Getting married was a religious experience for Welchel as much as it was a romantic one, and she re-evaluated what she wanted to do with her life.
One of the results of that re-evaluation was that she wanted to stay at home and raise a family, channeling her energy in her spare time into writing. It turns out she was probably destined to write anyway; she has more than ten books published on topics ranging from motherhood to being a better Christian. She couldn't shake off the desire to be on screen altogether; she entered 'Survivor: Philippines' when the opportunity arose. She finished runner up and pocketed $100K in the process. Nice work if you can get it!
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.
