There are definitely big pros and big cons to being a supermodel. The pros are that you get to travel all over the world, and people pay you a fortune just to walk up and down wearing their clothes for an afternoon. The cons are that the lifestyle is incredibly unhealthy, and you're only worth something for as long as your looks last. The moment someone decides you're no longer 'it,' your career is over.
Janice Dickson was one of the very first supermodels, and she fought to keep going as she grew older. To turn back the hands of time, she resorted to cosmetic surgery again and again. The work dried up anyway, and Dickinson could no longer pay her surgeons. In 2014 she went bankrupt, unable to service roughly $1m of debts, most of which had been racked up by going under the knife for yet another procedure.
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.
