When you think of the Wu-Tang Clan, GZA also known as The Genius is one of the first names people mention out of just muscle memory and there's a reason for that. With the Wu-Tang Clan having so much talent in just a single hip-hop group, it's easy to overlook one member of the other but, GZA's Liquid Swords album has placed him in a league of his own in regards to individual projects within the group which isn't an easy task with the lyricists like Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Method Man waiting to destroy you with their verses on selected tracks.
The days, GZA takes a more educational approach in regards to giving back to the hip-hop community. The Brooklyn rapper recently teamed up with an educational group in order to promote science via hip-hop.
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.
