Popular actor and comedian Tina Fey's decision to have a child at 41 was a very clear and conscious decision, which her and husband Jeff Richmond arrived at together after careful consideration. They worked together on the show '30 Rock', on which Richmond served as a composer, and were conscious that they might find themselves regretting not doing so years later if they just focused on the show and waited for it to come to a natural end. And so, they didn't!
Fey and Richmond had already had one child but welcomed a second; her daughter Penelope; who was conceived when she was 41. They had previously said that they were worried that they might find, later in life, that 'part of their family was missing' if they didn't act when they did, so we're happy for them.
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.
