While Jeanette Jenkins may not have as large of a following as the other stars in today's list, her 361,000-plus followers are nothing to scoff at. She is a celebrity fitness trainer that also posts motivational quotes on a frequent basis in order to help out her fans and to motivate them to workout. She also posts a lot of selfies in fun fitness clothes.
Jeanette has a famous blog post, detailing a 7-day healthy meal plan. The meal plan includes 1,500-2,000 calories per day, which is enough for most women (add 500 calories if you are a guy). For the first day, you can have scrambled egg whites, sautéed collard greens, turkey bacon, brown rice, green tea with lemon for breakfast, and grilled chicken breast with garlic spinach and half a cup of baked yam for lunch.
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.
