Musician, fashionista, businesswoman, rights advocate. Is there anything that Beyoncé can't do? From a start as the charismatic lead of Destiny's Child, to a massively successful pop star in her own right, she's won over millions of hearts and fans with her edgy lyrics and her own sweet brand of R&B. She is the queen (bee) of pop music for a reason.
Away from the crowds, she's no different. She might look a little bit tired, and her eyebrows might not be perfectly plucked, but Beyoncé still has that inner fire and incredible hair that turned our heads in the first place. Her publicly rocky relationship with Jay-Z might make it sound like her love life is one big disaster zone, but one look at that face will tell you that she's a lady who has really got it together.
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.
