The concept of 'miracle babies' is often raised by those who conceive after forty, and you can add Iman to the list of people who believe in them. She'd had a child much earlier in life, when she was still in her twenties, during her first marriage to basketball star Spencer Haywood. Later, and more famously, she married the late, legendary British rock star David Bowie.
The couple did try to have a child of their own the natural way, but nothing seemed to be working, including IVF treatment. Like many others, they were considering adoption when, at the age of 45, Iman spontaneously became pregnant and gave birth to their daughter Alexandria. That was back in the year 2000, meaning that Alexandria is now an adult in her own right. By that point, Bowie was 53, making his own fertility even less likely than Iman's; but then nothing about Bowie was ever normal.
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.
