Gazzy Parman is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, and an active member of the female-only BJJ club called "Dirty Dozen." The team started with the first 12 women outside of Brazil to achieve a black belt in the sport. This was because, in previous years, the sport was mainly dominated by men, and not a lot of women had reached the status of being a black belt (which takes years of training).
She is best known for her grappling moves, which have made her a semi-celebrity on YouTube. She started back in the early 2000s, which means her career is spanning for almost two decades now. She has an outspoken demeanor, which has granted her a fair share of fans across the globe, including in places like Europe and Asia. Gazzy is also one of the first female gym owners in the USA, which was a remarkable feat at the time when it happened.
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.
