Nicole Kidman is somebody who's spoken candidly about her issues with having children in the past. At one point she feared that it would never happen for her at all. At ectopic pregnancy early in her marriage to Tom Cruise; when Kidman was still in her twenties; was at one point thought to have left her unable to have children. The couple was so sure that it wasn't on the cards for them that they adopted instead.
She was therefore as surprised as anybody when she became pregnant during her second marriage, to Keith Urban, in 2008. She was 41 at the time and stated that having tried 'everything' to get pregnant in the past, this time it just happened naturally with no medical or external help required at all. Three years later, at 44, the couple welcomed their second child. Kidman describes them as a blessing and a miracle.
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.
