He's dated supermodels, he has one of the most underrated voices in music for decades, and he's also constantly one of the world's most fashionable men. But for the whole time he's been famous, he's also had to put up with jokes about the animal he seemingly took his stage name from. So why did the 'Kiss from A Rose' singer choose the name he did?
He didn't. There's no great mystery to it, it just happens to be his real first name. You can understand why he went with a short version though; his full name is Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel. That's never going to fit on a record sleeve, a billboard or a t-shirt, so his legions of fans are probably glad that he spared them the trouble by cutting almost all of it out. Plus, there's nothing wrong with seals, they're some of the most adorable creatures you could ever hope to meet!
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.
