Money makes the world go round, or so the old song says. Some people call it the root of all evil, but rightly or wrongly we can't achieve much in life if we don't have the money to do it. That's why we all go to work every single morning.
Thirty years ago, making big money was a man's game. It was men who ran big businesses, men who controlled banks and largely men who controlled money within the average household. All of that has changed. Women now have the opportunity to earn as much as men - or much more!
While the sad truth is that most of us can only dream of becoming millionaires before we retire, there are women out there who've done much more than that at a young age. They're billionaires, and they've done it long before they hit retirement age. Here come the (rich) girls!
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.
