Finally, someone who was born in one place and stayed there! Brad Paisley was born in Glen Dale, West Virginia, and still lives in West Virginia. Despite all of his success, his parents still live in the same house he grew up in. We suppose that if you're going to make a career out of country music, there's probably no point in leaving West Virginia - it's not like you'll find a wider audience for it anywhere else!
Paisley was taught to play the guitar by his grandfather when he was eight years old. He started out singing in church, but the close-knit community were wowed by his talents and were soon booking him for every birthday party, anniversary, and other celebration that happened anywhere in Glen Dale. He says he never had to ask anyone for a gig - the bookings all came to him. They're still coming now - just on a much larger scale.
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.
