Hollywood icon Susan Sarandon actually had her first child when she was under 40; but only just. She was 39 when her daughter Eva Amurri was born in 1985. Having started a family, she decided to expand it, and so gave birth to two sons in the years to come; one at the age of 42, and another at 45, all with her former partner, the actor Tim Robbins.
Sarandon is another woman who'd been told that her prospects of having children weren't good. She was diagnosed with endometriosis when she was younger, and so hadn't concerned herself with family planning because she'd long since accepted it would never happened. When she became pregnant she considered it such an unlikely event that it would never happen again, but time proved her wrong in the most wonderful way. And it did it twice!
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.
