Meltzer is an online personal trainer and diet coach. Since an early age, she was surrounded by health and fitness. Her father was a doctor and former bodybuilder and her mother is a personal trainer. Her fitness journey did not begin until the moment a dear friend asked her to join her own gym. Meltzer did join and after a year or so she decided to change her lifestyle and dedicate her whole life to pursuing a career in fitness.
Besides being a fitness guru, Meltzer has a black belt in Tae Kwon Doe and a green belt in Kenpo, she also plays multiple musical instruments and used to competitively ride horses. Her ambitions for the future are to obtain an NPC (National Physique Committee) pro card and to open her own gym. Since she is so young she wants to graduate from college and settle down and have a family which will probably be very fit.
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.
