The avian world is full of big, proud and beautiful birds. Robin is a great name to give to a little girl, for example - or to Batman's best friend! A sparrow, on the other hand, is tiny and feeble. As we've seen with other names on this list, 'small and cute' works when a baby is very young. It's less suitable when they become a full-grown adult.
Sparrow James Midnight Madden won't have to worry about that for a little while yet. Born to 'Good Charlotte' rock star Joel Madden and reality television favorite Nicole Richie in late 2009, he's not yet even ten years old. He'll be surrounded by fame in every direction as he grows; his uncle is married to Cameron Diaz, and his grandfather is singing legend Lionel Richie. This is one little sparrow who's likely to spread his wings wide.
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.
